Orlando is a bustling, diverse and inclusive city in its own right. Featuring Michelin-starred restaurants and world-class museums, distinctive neighborhoods and one of the largest Pride festivals in the Southeast, it's got the amenities of a much bigger city.

"It's not exactly a dream vacation to come and be harassed by mosquitoes," says Hervé Bossin, director of the medical entomology laboratory at Tahiti's Institut Louis Malardé.

In 2027, Christmas Day and Boxing Day fall on a weekend, providing two substitute bank holidays on December 27 and 28, leading to an extended holiday opportunity.

The weather this week looks ideal, with sunny to modestly sunny skies each day, temperatures in the mid-70s to low-80s. Evening temperatures should drop to around the 60s throughout the workweek. Winds should be relatively calm, and humidity will be moderate. Things could change a bit over the coming weekend, with chances of showers increasing Saturday night into Sunday. Conditions also will remain dry.

Savannah is one of my favorite cities in the world, and, in my opinion, spring is its best season to visit. The famous Spanish-moss-draped squares are framed by blooming azaleas in late March and April, and temperatures are typically in the 70s.

The offer is valid across a wide range of hotels, from city staples like JW Marriott London and The Ritz-Carlton Tokyo to resorts like The St. Regis Punta Mita or W Maldives.

I recently returned from my fifth trip to French Polynesia-specifically, Bora Bora-and I remain convinced it's the most beautiful place on earth. Since I first honeymooned there in 2010, every trip back feels just as awe-inspiring as the first: impossibly turquoise lagoons, powder-soft sand, Instagram-worthy overwater bungalows, and underwater scenes that are almost too magical to be real. But here's something else about this kind of paradise: It's remote.
