With the Festive season over, many of us look for some much needed winter sunshine and with Valentine\u2019s Day around the corner there are some great destinations perfect for the month of love.<\/p>\n

1. New Orleans<\/strong>
\nIs there a better time than February to visit the Big Easy? Not only is the raw humidity of the Louisiana summer yet to awaken, but the city\u2019s most famous carnival, Mardi Gras, dominates the month. February 13 will be the big day of celebration in 2019, but you can expect a full week of parades, music, razzmatazz and merriment on St Charles Avenue and in the French Quarter in the build-up to Fat Tuesday.

2. Marrakesh, Morocco<\/b>
\nThe Moroccan capital is at its best in February, when days are sun-baked but rarely sweaty, and nights are refreshingly cool, ideal for downing cinnamon-spiced pastilla and rich lamb tagine. Spend the morning wandering the souks, skipping from sellers hawking handmade leather bags and sandals to those peddling rainbows of silk pashminas (don\u2019t forget to haggle). Afterwards, plunk yourself at a garden-fringed hotel pool \u2013 Four Seasons Resort Marrakesh, Hotel price reduced from \u00a3361 to \u00a3298 just outside the souk, is one of the most tranquil hotels. Emirates are offering World Privilege Plus members an incredible 5% off flights.

3. Barbados <\/strong>
\nPowder-white sands lapped by azure waves, frosted cocktails made from punchy local rum, glitzy hotels \u2013 if you want a sultry Valentine\u2019s break, Barbados is hard to beat. Sexy places to stay, from hideaway villas to plush resorts, line its western shores, while seafood-stacked restaurants, such as The Cliff<\/a> or Cin Cin<\/a>, are perfect for a sundowner t\u00eate-\u00e0-t\u00eate. The cherry on the cake? Tax-free shopping in colonial Bridgetown \u2013 because nothing says \u2018I love you\u2019 like a cut-price diamond-encrusted watch. With up 60% off over 270 Hotels<\/a>\u00a0to choose from your money is going a lot further with your World Privilege Plus Membership.

4. The Maldives<\/strong>
\nSome 1,192 islets and coral outcrops \u2013 stretched across 26 atolls and 35,000 square miles of water \u2013 make up this archipelago nation in the Indian Ocean. golden sands, swaying palm trees, azure shallows. If you want variety of terrain, do not visit the Maldives. If you want temperatures in the thirties Celsius and unrestrained beach luxury, you have chosen well. World Privilege Plus have partners with Maldives Aficionado membership Amilla Fushi<\/a> and Finolhu Resorts<\/a> (contact us directly for more details) to provide you with a host of complementary services and upgrade.
\nTake me to The Maldives<\/p>\n

5. Oman
\n<\/strong>Neither as grandstanding as Dubai, nor as grand as Abu Dhabi (whose long-in-percolation outpost of the Louvre opened last year, while the Guggenheim has yet to be unveiled), Oman is the calmer cousin of the Arabian Peninsula. But it should not be underestimated as a possibility for winter sun. Both Zighy Bay and Sur are alluring places for beach escapes; Muscat is a city of underappreciated culture and sophistication.
\nTake me to Oman<\/p>\n

6. St Lucia <\/strong>
\nSt Lucia is one of the Caribbean\u2019s most coveted destinations \u2013 and with good reason. Its west coast is home to some of the planet\u2019s loveliest beaches, including the golden strip of Anse Chastanet \u2013 while the twin volcanic bluffs of Gros and Petit Piton offer hiking and climbing challenges, as well as wonderful photos. Discover the best kept secret in Saint Lucia and immerse yourself in true Caribbean luxury. East Winds is a breath taking tropical garden by the sea, set on a sandy, secluded storybook beach. Our Caribbean hideaway is the island\u2019s original boutique resort, featuring 30 cottage style suites and an Ocean front beach house, tucked away amongst lush plants, trees, and a kaleidoscope of colourful bird life. Members get up to 30% off.

7. Zanzibar<\/strong>
\nThis feted slice of sand and sunshine is a continental junction box \u2013 officially African in that it is part of Tanzania, seductively Middle Eastern in the mercantile heritage of Stone Town (which was once the capital of Oman), temptingly tropical in the way the Indian Ocean laps at its sides. Of course, this clash of cultures only makes Zanzibar more exotic \u2013 and the weather is largely reliable, flirting with the thirties Celsius as February dawns.
\nTake me to Zanzibar<\/p>\n

8. Hawaii<\/strong>
\nThere can be no doubt that America\u2019s mid-Pacific archipelago requires quite a journey from the UK, and an 11-hour slug of jetlag once you arrive. But there are few better cures for such time difference than the soft sands of Waikiki Beach \u2013 the sunshine strip which adorns the southern edge of the state capital Honolulu, on Oahu. And the sight of the volcanic titans Kilauea and Mauna Loa, on the \u201cBig Island\u201d, is sure to awaken the senses.
