November brings with it crisp mornings, golden leaves, and the first sparkle of winter on the horizon. It’s the moment when scarves come out and fires are lit — but also when travel choices open wide. Some will be drawn to island bliss and warm weather escapes, others to the fresh air and icy landscapes of Iceland or the Alps. Either way, it’s a month for contrasts and for journeys that feel a little more special before the holiday season really hits.

From wilderness adventures to sun-drenched retreats, our luxury travel experts are on hand to give you tailored guidance and insider suggestions — helping you shape a trip that’s unique, seasonal, and perfectly timed.

Our Favourite Destinations to travel to in November

Morocco

November softens Morocco’s edges. The desert cools, the Atlas Mountains glow under crisp blue skies, and Marrakech hums with life without the crush of heat or summer crowds. From nights beneath star-strewn skies to mornings wandering spice-scented souks, this is Morocco at its most inviting.

Egypt

Cooler November days cast Egypt in a different light, softening the desert heat and making its ancient sites all the more compelling. Standing before the Sphinx or drifting along the Nile, you feel the weight of history and the immediacy of the present colliding. Step inside temples usually closed to the public, explore ruins with a leading archaeologist, and retreat each night to the comfort of the river. Egypt in November is history, intimacy, and spectacle in one.

Costa Rica

November in Costa Rica brings a shift in rhythm, as the rains ease and the forests burst with renewed life. Parting vines and banana leaf, the massif of Arenal – a lowly rumbling stratovolcano – rises ahead. Days here mean rappelling, river-tracing, and hiking trails through jungle alive with the calls of monkeys and tropical birds. Evenings invite slower moments, with natural hot springs and eco-lodges set deep in the wilderness. Adventure and serenity in equal measure.

South Africa

November brings South Africa into its stride — long, sunlit days on the Cape, warm breezes through the winelands, and the first real taste of summer. Mornings might mean a table at one of Cape Town’s test kitchens, afternoons a glass raised among rolling vineyards, and evenings on safari in Sabi Sands. Between coast, city, and wilderness, the country shows off its full range. South Africa, alive and abundant, is back and better than ever.

Mexico

November is a wonderful time to explore Mexico, when the sunny weather remains and the landscapes are at their most inviting. We have a particular fondness for the jungles, beaches, temples, and cenotes of the Yucatán Peninsula. Not to mention Los Cabos (dramatic), San Miguel de Allende (historic), and Oaxaca (volcanic). Culture, history, nature, and delicious food, all in one extraordinary country. From ancient ruins to sun-drenched shores, Mexico rewards every kind of curiosity.

Thailand

November brings Thailand alive with warm days, clear skies, and a gentle end to the rainy season. From the bustling streets and ornate temples of Bangkok to the emerald hills and tea plantations of the north, and the turquoise beaches of the south, the country offers a kaleidoscope of experiences. Spice-scented markets, hidden waterfalls, and quiet moments on remote islands — Thailand invites you to explore, linger, and discover at every turn.
