For the compulsive jetsetters among us, there are simply too many incredible places to see and just not enough vacation days. So while traveling abroad might be tempting, especially with the easing of travel restrictions, we cannot help but recommend a few local gems that will stoke your wanderlust and keep the tiny flame of optimism burning.

Definitely a beautiful place to visit if you are in the North, especially if you want to take some really cool pictures. The resort has a capacity of 1,500 people, but they are currently only receiving 500 people, even on weekends. With spacious pools, a kid-friendly beach area and plenty of water sports on offer, you’ll think you’re in paradise.
