Blame the weather or the lack of sunlight, but at this time of year, we’re hard-wired to start planning how to use our annual leave. Emma Spedding, contributor to British Vogue, spoke to experts from across the travel industry and spent hours researching the buzziest new hotel launches to compile a guide to the stylish holiday destinations worth adding to your bucket list for 2025.
A quick glance through this list reveals just how much streaming habits are influencing global travel—this trend for Netflix-inspired itineraries has been named “set-jetting.” Thanks to the upcoming third series of The White Lotus, Thailand is poised to be one of the key destinations to visit in 2025, whilst Emily in Paris has led to a surge in visitors to the French Alpine village of Megève and people are embarking on their own Race Across the World-inspired voyages.
If you want something a little more off-the-beaten-track and away from the TikTok crowds, consider staying in a remote treehouse in Nicaragua or gorilla trekking in the Bwindi Impenetrable Forest National Park in Uganda. At a time when over-tourism is at an alarming high, we’ve also highlighted a number of sustainably minded and conscious hotels that promise to protect and conserve precious local ecosystems.
From the island set to be the star of the Mediterranean this year to the New York icon reopening its doors, Who What Wear brings you a list of holiday ideas that will make 2025 a year to remember.

Mr and Mrs Smith’s co-founder and CEO Tamara Lohan highlights that travelling to destinations without the crowds as one of her key travel trends for 2025, noting that “lush jungles and pristine beaches are the ideal backdrop for relaxation and practising mindfulness”.
Here is an excerpt from Who What Wear:
Lohan notes Tanzania as a key destination for 2025 and as a leader in sustainable travel. “Cherero Camp, a new addition to the Tanzanian safari circuit, puts guests in the heart of national park bushland,” she says of key places to stay. “This intimate eco-lodge gives guests a chance to survey Tanzania’s wildlife in a way that’s both sustainable, making a minimal impact on the environment, and intimate, ensuring your experience is both enriching and responsible.”
As for the beach element, she notes that “Bawe Island, just off the coast of Zanzibar, has white-sand beaches and coral reefs kept vibrant thanks to impressive eco efforts and acts as a gateway to discovering Zanzibar’s rich culture. You can enjoy its tropical luxury guilt-free, knowing that the peaceful, picturesque lodge is dedicated to preserving the island’s delicate eco-system.”
