Panama City in the sunset

What if instead of stressing over making it to every holiday party, you instead experienced the Northern Lights while sailing up the coast of Norway or took an early morning walk down the beach before heading into Panama City for a world class Christmas lunch" If the hustle and bustle of the holiday season leaves you feeling exhausted, think about changing up your routine this year. Imagine where you want to wake up Christmas morning and go there instead. Reclaim some holiday magic at one of these four unforgettable luxury destinations. Krabi, Thailand
This southern Thailand vacation destination is about as far from a cold, slushy road trip to your aunt?s house as you can get. Spend your Christmas scuba diving, rock climbing on the limestone islands dotting the clear blue Andaman Sea and visiting the Buddhist shrines of Tiger Cave. Stay in one of the luxurious villas at the Ritz Carlton?s Phulay Bay where you?ll be spoiled with a personal pool, garden, sundeck and rainforest shower. Be sure to take advantage of the resort?s complimentary trip in a traditional long tail boat to Hong Island to explore its hidden lagoon.
