Amsterdam, Netherlands

Season: summer
Travel time from UK: 1 hour 15 minutes
Time difference: BST+1

August is a month bookmarked for fun, and a long weekend in Amsterdam will provide you with enough merriment and wild stories to carry you through the winter. Everything is hyped up in the Dutch city; museums are wacky, weird and downright fascinating, and cafés go from loud and lovely to totally laid-back. Mosey around the tourist areas like Jordaan and the old town and head to the seriously cool East Amsterdam, which is packed with kitsch shops, art galleries and delightful people enjoying a Grolsch in one of the café gardens.

Where to stay: Vintage furniture rubs against modern design at The Hoxton Amsterdam, set behind a magisterial canalside façade. For a private stay, see of our edit of the best Airbnbs in Amsterdam.

Time difference: GMT +1

During the height of summer in Copenhagen, fashionable Danes embrace long days and take life out onto the streets. Bitter winter nights are a distant memory and the city’s buzzy café culture is where it’s at. Settle in for coffee-sipping and healthy brunch spreads, or pick up indulgent treats from in-demand bakeries such as Hart Bageri and Andersen & Maillard; the latter’s cube croissants are a viral spectacle that taste even better than they look. Plan ahead for a lip-smacking visit to the Copenhagen Cooking and Food Festival, which usually takes places around the middle of August. The festival has run for more than 20 years and tends to celebrate a humble vegetable with curious specials – focuses may be cabbage or onion, for instance. Copenhagen Pride also takes place in August, transforming the city’s streets into a kaleidoscopic, uber-inclusive playground.

Where to stay: You’ve probably seen the dazzling interior of Manon Les Suites, with its courtyard plunge pool surrounded by sumptuous suites – no mere ‘rooms’ here. For an unforgettable stay in an enviable location, check into Nimb Hotel, set within the manicured Tivoli Gardens.

Fiji, South Pacific
Temperature: 28°C high; 20°C low
Season: winter
Travel time from UK: 1 day 1 hour
Time difference: GMT+12

July is the best time to visit the South Pacific islands of Fiji. It's dry season and the water is at its clearest. The archipelago is one of the best places to dive in the world, surrounded by beautiful reefs which are home to around 1,000 species of fish; but on a clear day, a simple snorkel is just as good. For total escapism, head to private Dolphin Island, just off the Sun Coast of Viti Levu, Fiji's mainland, or stay in one of the 25 wood-and-glass villas at eco-friendly Laucala Island. The Fijians are famously friendly but nowhere is the welcoming song so heartfelt as at the locally owned Likuliku Lagoon Resort, where days ebb and flow with the tide.

Sustainable travel tip: The archipelago has been busy reinventing itself after the devastating impact of 2016’s Cyclone Winston, moving away from lavish honeymoon experiences to more eco-conscious escapes. Several new hotels are putting local culture and environment front and centre: the new Six Senses on Malolo Island, for example, is powered by solar panels and Tesla batteries, grows its own organic produce and uses worm-based septic tanks.

Where to stay: The Brando in French Polynesia is a small, private atoll with an elegant, low-impact, hotel.
