Got a glamorous, sun-soaked trip to the Mediterranean on your mind? Don’t bloody blame you. The idea of sashaying off anywhere warm with clear water and being a mysterious stranger on a boat sounds very appealing right now. But you don’t have to leave the country to live your best main-character life in paradise. Save on that sky-high plane ticket to Europe and set your sights on The Whitsundays instead.
Unlike the Med, which is a no-go in winter, you can sail your heart out any time of year in The Whitsundays. Water around the cluster of 74 tropical islands stay a warm 25 degrees celsius throughout most of the year. So you can scratch any worries about painstakingly lowering your body limb-by-limb into the water off your list. It’s basically a bloody bath.
