Let's swap crowded slopes for beach walks. The new hit: a beach Winter!
Der Blick aufs Meer darf auch im Winter nicht fehlen, dennoch ist es kein Muss, den kühlen Temperaturen dabei zu entfliehen? Neben der Ostsee lässt sich diese melancholische Stimmung, dick in den Wintermantel gehüllt, vor allem an der Nordsee einfangen. Egal, ob mit einer Tasse Tee, tief in ein Buch vertieft oder bei spannenden Aktivitäten an der frischen Luft, man muss nicht weit reisen, um den Winter am Meer verbringen zu können. Die bekannte Destination Sylt darf auch in der kalten Jahreszeit natürlich nicht unerwähnt bleiben. Stets ein luxuriöser Ausgangspunkt für einen Urlaub der besonderen Art – diesmal abseits der überlaufenen Sommermonate. Tipp für den Winter an der Nordsee: Eine Wanderung durch das glitzernde Wattmeer.

Islands erstes 5-Sterne-Hotel besticht mit seinem außergewöhnlichen Design direkt am wortwörtlichen Hotspot “Blue Lagoon”. Das Gourmet-Restaurant Moss beeindruckt nicht nur mit fantastischer Aussicht auf die Lagune und moosbedeckte Lavafelder – es punktet vor allem mit dem, was der isländische Küchenchef Agnar (Aggi) Sverrisson in den bis zu sieben Gängen des Degustationsmenüs auf die Teller zaubert. In dem über 4.000 qm großem Spa wird Erstklassigkeit hochgehalten. Es liegt drei Meter tief im vulkanischen Boden und das unwirklich blau scheinende Heilwasser der Lagune spielt dabei die Hauptrolle.

In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft und das ist allem voran während eines Winter-Urlaubs auf der Insel Nantucket spürbar. Denn wenn die Temperaturen sinken und die meisten Touristen abreisen, verwandelt sich Nantucket in einen zauberhaft ruhigen Rückzugsort. Man genießt ein verlangsamtes Tempo vor einer malerischen Kulisse sandiger Dünen, romantischer Leuchttürme und den rauen Wellen des Atlantiks. Winter in Nantucket ist wie eine nostalgische Zeitreise in die Vergangenheit New Englands. Um dieses Gefühl zu unterstreichen und die Seele baumeln zu lassen, empfiehlt sich vor allem ein Besuch der historischen Bibliothek der Insel, dem Nantucket Atheneum, ein Spaziergang am Strand oder mal wieder in das Meisterwerk von Herman Melvilles “Moby-Dick” einzutauchen.
