Must-visit destinations for 2022
With a new year comes new opportunities for travel – and with restrictions being lifted and flights resuming to the tropics, there are plenty of options to choose from. Plus, the travel process is more seamless than ever before with our Travel Requirements hub. Trying to decide where to visit in the year ahead? We put together some of our must-visit destinations for 2022.
Cuba
Year after year, Cuba continues to be one of the most popular vacation destinations amongst Canadians seeking a quintessential beach escape. Late last year, the island became one of our Easy Entry Destinations, with no inbound testing requirements or quarantine measures for fully vaccinated travellers. You can visit a range of gorgeous resort towns, whether you want to soak up the sun on the world-famous shores of Varadero, snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of Cayo Coco or stroll through the lush parks of Holguin.
Jamaica
If laidback island vibes are what you’re after, add Jamaica to your travel list in 2022. The destination offers a beautiful mix of lush mountains and pristine coastline, with plenty of opportunities for both relaxing by the beach with a rum punch or heading out on an exciting excursion. Make sure to hit up some of the island’s top landmarks while you’re there, like Dunn’s River Falls, where you can climb up the rushing cascades; Luminous Lagoon, where you can watch the water light up around you as you swim; and Nine Mile, the birthplace of reggae legend Bob Marley.
Antigua
With 365 beaches, you’ll never run out of options for places to lay down your beach towel in Antigua. The breathtaking island once acted as refuge for pirates with its sheltered bays and calm waters, and today is a favourite destination amongst luxury seekers and sophisticated vacationers. In addition to being a beach oasis, Antigua is also an adventurer’s playground with prime conditions for water sports – especially sailing. After being cancelled next year, Antigua Sailing Week is back this year and better than ever. Visit between April 30 and May 6 to take part in the festivities of this legendary regatta!
Cancun
Cancun is always at the top of our list for must-visit destinations. With world-class resorts and endless stretches of sand, there’s something for everyone in this Mexican hotspot. Discover the iconic nightlife of downtown Cancun with a host of bars and nightclubs, or party it up poolside by a chic beachfront resort. Seeking a bit more of a private and sophisticated ambiance? Head to Playa Mujeres just outside the hustle and bustle of Cancun, or the serene shores of Riviera Maya that offer everything from sprawling family-friendly complexes to intimate adults only boutique hotels.
Saint Lucia
With its majestic twin Pitons, magical rainforests and unique volcanic hot springs, Saint Lucia is a perfect choice for those looking to explore somewhere off the beaten path. Located in the Eastern Caribbean, the island is home to exotic landscapes that are straight out of a postcard. Take a catamaran cruise along the coast, past the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Pitons and to several popular snorkelling spots before visiting the world’s only drive-in volcano. Looking for a bit more adventure? Hike through the rainforest as you keep an eye out for exotic species or zipline above the rainforest canopy.
