December.<\/p>\n<p>So let&#8217;s put ski resorts and Christmas markets aside for a while. We&#8217;re going to see some sun! Here are some of the best warm places to visit in December.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/vasco-translator.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/holidays2.png\" alt=\"Holiday Season in December: the picture of Maldives.\" width=\"750\" height=\"490\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Holidays_in_December_Maldives\"><\/span>Holidays in December: Maldives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To kick off the list of warm places to visit in December, let&#8217;s go to the Maldives.<\/p>\n<p>Spending a holiday season in a warm place is always a good idea. And the Maldives is heaven on Earth all year round.<\/p>\n<p>However, December marks the beginning of the dry season, which makes spending your holidays there even better.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Because of low rainfall, lots of sunshine, dry heat, and low humidity.<\/p>\n<p>There are some lovely hotels to stay at, in addition to pristine beaches to relax on.<\/p>\n<p>It is definitely a perfect destination for those who love warm weather and a bit of tropical aura.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/vasco-translator.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/holidays3.png\" alt=\"Holiday Season in December: St Barth's, Caribbean.\" width=\"700\" height=\"500\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Holidays_in_December_St_Barths_Caribbean\"><\/span>Holidays in December: St Barth&#8217;s, Caribbean<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Next on the list of warm places to visit in December, we have the island of Saint Barth\u00e9lemy. It is also a good place to visit all year round. However, winter months are the most preferable. Read further to see why!<\/p>\n<p>December marks the start of the dry season at St Barth&#8217;s, which lasts up to May. Also known as the &#8220;lent season&#8221;, this particular period of time is marked by perfectly warm temperatures, refreshing breeze that blows from the ocean, and low rainfall.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the perfect weather, this place is also known for its calm waters, pristine beaches, and comfortable lifestyle. So, if you hate winter months, this is definitely a perfect destination.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to all that, this small island boasts a variety of beach clubs, luxury restaurants, and five-star resorts. Nightlife is included!<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, December is not considered the off-season at St Barth&#8217;s. So if you want fewer crowds, visit this island during Spring.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, we highly recommend spending your Christmas holidays (and more) on St Barth&#8217;s island. It is one of the best warm places to visit in December.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1835\" src=\"https:\/\/vasco-translator.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/holidays4.png\" alt=\"Holidays in December: Portugal in winter season.\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vasco-translator.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/holidays4.png 750w, https:\/\/vasco-translator.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/holidays4-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Holidays_in_December_Portugal\"><\/span>Holidays in December: Portugal<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This location is not as warm as the others on the list, but it&#8217;s still warmer than other parts of the world in December.<\/p>\n<p>So, Portugal in Winter: <strong>what it&#8217;s like?<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4>weather in Portugal in winter<\/h4>\n<p>During the day, temperatures are around 15\u00b0C, while during the night they fall down to 8\u00b0C.

The most popular of all these giants is Arenal Volcano.<\/p>\n<p>December is also the best time to spend time on Costa Rica&#8217;s beaches. Mainly because we can marvel at humpback whales heading south in search of warm waters.<\/p>\n<p>This country is definitely a great place to visit in December, especially, when someone is looking for something more than warm weather and calm beaches. By going there, you can also find a piece of mind and truly rest from your daily life.<\/p>\n<p>Costa Rica also boasts a number of beautiful national parks, so be sure to visit at least some of them!<\/p>\n<p>All in all, it is one of the best warm places to visit in December.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Destinations_for_cold_weather_and_Christmas_season_lovers\"><\/span>Destinations for cold weather and Christmas season lovers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>December is usually considered an off-season period in most travel destinations, especially in the warm ones.<\/p>\n<p>Here however, we&#8217;ll discover places that may welcome bigger crowds.

However, despite the fact that Italy in winter is getting quite severe, there&#8217;s a warm glow of Christmas lights and trees in December all over the country.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s, however, one place especially worth visiting: <strong>Gubbio<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This medieval town located in central Italy takes a spotlight each year on December 7 as it lights <strong>the biggest Christmas tree in the world<\/strong>!<\/p>\n<p>The tree is an arrangement of lights located on Mount Ingino.
