January: Sydney, Australia<\/h2>\n

From Christmas Eve until Australia Day, Sydney<\/a> seems to slow down. The streets are quiet, school is out and the beaches are at their best. Start out with a patch of sand at Bondi Beach before moving your way south on the Bondi to Coogee headland walk, with dips at Tamarama, Bronte and Clovelly along the way.<\/p>\n

February: Maunganui Beach, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand<\/h2>\n

The spot to see and be seen! Mount\u00a0Maunganui<\/a>\u00a0is always buzzing in Summer. The beach sits at the base of the Mauao Volcano, dormant and a popular hiking track for locals.<\/p>\n

March: Koh Samui, Thailand<\/h2>\n

Maximise your chances of sunshine in the month of March \u2013 the end of the rainy season and the start of the dryer months in Koh Samui<\/a>. Grab a cocktail by the pool or spend the day in your private plunge pool away from the crowds.<\/p>\n

April: Great Barrier Reef, Queensland<\/h2>\n

Shake off the post-Summer blues with a few days of glorious sunshine in Tropical North Queensland<\/a>. Hop on a helicopter and see the Great Barrier Reef sparkling a brilliant aquamarine in the sun.<\/p>\n
