Austin, Texas

Austin has been in our top travel destinations for a while. With it’s quirky music and tech scene, (after all SXSW makes its’ home there each year), amazing food trucks and BBQ, and swimming options like Lake Austin and Barton Springs, Austin is definitely a must-see travel destination this year. The area is also quickly becoming a hub for live music with rising stars and upcoming artists flocking to the music scene to catapult their careers. In fact the city is known as the Live Music Capital of the World! And, with moderate-to-warm temperatures most of the year, it’s a great destination to beat the cold. Convinced to head down south to Austin, check out all the itineraries and fun things to do at Visit Austin.

HAPARI Swim Recommendations: Austin is the place to bust out your favorite bikini! We love the Sahara Bikini Triangle Top to take with you as you explore Barton Springs and Lake Austin.

Tulum, Mexico

The small city of Tulum has been inundated with publicity in recent years as celebrities have increasingly vacationed there; and for good reason, the place is a slice of paradise on Earth. It’s a stunning coastal beach town that was the among the last towns to be built by the Mayans. Along with gorgeous white sand beaches, Tulum offers incredibly preserved artifacts from the Mayans. The city was walled off for a number of years before it was discovered and opened to the public. In fact UNESCO recently declared Tulum a world heritage site. Learn more about all there is to do in Tulum via Visit Mexico.

HAPARI Swim Recommendations: While you’re exploring the ruins around Tulum, make sure to bring your High Neck Envy One Piece swimsuit with you! This is the perfect suit to wear to the beaches or throw on a pair of shorts and you’re ready to explore the local markets.

Ko Phi Phi Islands, Thailand

One of our co-workers went to the Ko Phi Phi Islands in Thailand a few years ago and has been raving about it ever since! This tropical city is located a quick 90-minute flight and short ferry ride from the capital city of Bangkok. This island town is known for a vibrant night life, delicious traditional Thai cuisine, plenty of hikes and trek options, and crystal clear blue waters and sandy beaches. There is even a spot called “Monkey Beach” where wild monkeys roam about! Learn more and plan your trip now via Lonely Planet's Ko Phi Phi Travel Guide.

El Nido, Philippines

The Philippines is a must-go destination and rounds out our top picks for travel spots in 2020. The country actually consists of over 7,000 islands of varying size. The country’s capital, Manila is located along the famously-known waterfront promenade. With clear turquoise water and average temperatures of 75 degrees, the Philippines is a beach-lover’s paradise. Besides being incredibly picturesque, the island has many fun attractions like scuba diving to sunken cemeteries, visiting the enchanted Hinatuan river, or climbing the famous Chocolate Hills.
