[HYPEBEAST]( [Features]( November 15, 2019 [EDITORS’ PICKS: HOLIDAY GETAWAYS]( Our editors share their favorite travel spots for the season. GETAWAY HOUSE November is the ideal time to go on vacation. With the holidays looming around the corner, for many it’s the last chance of the year to take a break from your job and get in a change of scenery before the family commitments pile on. With this in mind, we’ve asked our editors to pick their favorite getaways from around the world. Our choices range from baltic cold to sunny and pleasant, so there’s sure to be at least one destination that’ll pique your interest. Read on to see our editors’ favorite picks for a holiday getaway, as well as their tips for what to pack and what to eat while you’re there. Melbourne, Australia By: Eddie Eng Australia was always the most foreign of my destinations, simply because of its history and distance. However, there was a comfort element at the same time because of the language and the cuisine. Having friends there as well only sealed the deal for me last fall. What to eat: The cafe culture is one of the best in the world, so definitely find one with the atmosphere you like the most; bring a laptop, people watch, and relax. Higher Grounds is perfect if you prefer a darker tone, The Kettle Black for some sunlight. Grab a croissant at Lune as well. What to bring: A GORE-TEX shell is a must to keep you dry and warm for those breezy days, esp. in spring and fall. A decent pair of “sunnies” as well. PIXABAY El Nido, Palawan, Philippines By: Mallory Chin The beautiful endless white beaches and crystal clear waters of El Nido inspired Alex Garland to write his best-selling novel The Beach. So it’s no surprise that many adventurers have found their way to the remote archipelago even though the journey to El Nido is no easy task, taking six hours from Puerto Princesa. However, since opening a small airport, the area has become a prime spot for tourists. Your days here can be spent relaxing on the sand, scuba diving, island hopping, kayaking, or renting motorbikes to check out the local scene. What to eat: Seafood in El Nido is so fresh and cheap compared to other areas located around Europe and North America. The restaurants will let you choose your live seafood options and cook it up to your liking right in front of you. Additionally the street food and BBQ are can’t miss choices as well. What to bring: Waterproof dry bags to make sure all your belongings are safe from the sea. A good book, snorkeling set, and bathing suits are also highly suggested. CRIS TAGUPA | UNSPLASH Marrakech, Morocco By: Felson Sajonas Marrakech is an ideal destination for adventurers who yearn for a bit of mystery and intrigue in their travels. Getting lost here is almost guaranteed, so prepare to make plenty of wrong turns, like I did in the Old City's labyrinth-like souks. The result, however, is the serendipitous discoveries of new food, shopping and even musical experiences. Plus, if you need a break from the hustle and bustle of the main town, taking a two or even a three day trip in the Sahara will make you appreciate the impressive panoramic views of the desert. What to eat: There are plenty of terrace dining options in Medina but Terrasse Des Epices offers a relaxed, upscale vibe with a nice view of the city. Tagine is a Moroccan staple, but there’s something special about the restaurant’s lamb version of the dish. What to bring: A reliable hooded lightweight jacket. While it may be hot and dry during the day, nighttime usually brings in cooler temps in the Sahara.
