Picture this: Christmas away from the crowds, away from the rain/snow/cold and away from the long-lost family members that you have to pretend to get along with once a year. If it seems like an out of reach dream, you need to make it a reality; spending Christmas abroad is something that not enough people do. So, if you’re dreading the drive to Lancashire to see your second cousin twice removed with all of your siblings in tow – you know what you need to do.
Six Senses Hideaway, Ninh Van Bay
This is honestly one of the most beautiful places in the world. It’s peaceful, secluded (in the best way), hot (even in December) and you have everything that you could possibly need at your finger tips, including a personal butler and a private swimming pool. If you’re looking to treat yourself and a loved one this Christmas, you’d be nuts to miss out on this.

The Mercer, New York
If you can’t bare the thought for leaving city life behind over Christmas (but don’t want to stay in London), then head to New York. It does Christmas unbelievably well so you will still feel rightfully festive and if you’re a gentleman who suffers from cabin fever, there will be plenty for you to do. The Mercer is one of the best hotels in New York; everything from the quality of service to the room you’ll stay in is incredible.

Jumby Bay, Antigua
Antigua is a country that every gentleman should strive to visit in his lifetime, and there’s no better time of year to head there than at Christmas. If you’re looking for a peaceful escape near the sea, with the sunshine and an impeccable beach, this the perfect place for you. Be sure to visit luxurious private island, Jumby Bay, for the whole package – you won’t regret it.
