Need a vacation from your vacation? These 10 off-the-grid destinations should do the trick – 2022 – News & Media – Newsroom

It’s that time again – a new year, filled with new adventures. If one of your resolutions is to travel more, and even if that is a bit later in the year, we have you covered.

So, why not take it up a notch and try somewhere unexpected?

Sometimes the road less traveled leads to a moment of a lifetime. Take a break from the usual vacation hot spots and give these off-the-grid destinations a go.

1.   Taipei, Taiwan

Think sweeping vistas, incredible cuisine, and stunning architecture. It’s not just Taiwan’s traditional beef soup that’s rich in flavor, but the culture itself. Lose yourself at one of Taipei’s buzzing street markets or take a break from the city and take in marble-walled gorges and tropical forests.

Known throughout history as the “Beautiful Isle,” Taiwan deserves a spot on anyone’s bucket list with adventure around every corner – from the capital Taipei to Kaohsiung a bit more out of the way.

Where to Stay: Kimpton Da An from US$174 per night*

2.   Phu Quoc Island, Vietnam

Though Vietnam is a popular tourist destination, its secret island paradise of Phu Quoc is still untouched. Located off the coast of Cambodia and home to 28 islands ringed in unspoiled beaches, why not bask in sun overlooking powdery white sand and emerald waters? Or head under the waves and discover a magical world of marine life with hundreds of species of coral and exotic fish.

Where to stay: Crowne Plaza Phu Quoc Starbay from US$123 per night*
