It’s that time of the year again when summer is buzzing and you cannot wait to get out of your stuffy cubicle. But figuring out where to go on your summer escape can be a bit overwhelming. To help narrow down your options, we have listed five stunning destinations to visit this July, and a chic wardrobe to make sure you vacation in style.
Canggu, Bali
With warm, balmy temperatures, and clear skies, the exotic Indonesian island is at its prime in July. Popular among young travelers and surfers, Canggu boasts a laid-back vibe where lush green rice fields are surrounded by countless cafes, restaurants, yoga studios, and a lot of creative inspiration.
What to wear
Enjoy Bali’s hidden gem in a breezy printed kaftan that can take you from sightseeing to sunbathing.
Nairobi, Kenya
Kenya in July has the greatest nature’s show on earth: the great migration. July is when the wild animals make the great migration from the Serengeti to the Masai Mara. There are spectacular views of the migration from the Mahali Mzuri and the Angama Mara Safari Camps. If you are looking to get some sun in Kenya, head for Watamu on the coast, where golden and sandy beaches stretch for miles.
What to wear
Get ready to witness the great migration by shifting into a minimalist palette with a jumpsuit and drawstring hat.
Provence, France
The region is well known for its lavish green vineyards, hard-churned cheeses, and romantic hill-top villages. But in July, head to the village of Valensole in north-eastern Provence for the most picture-perfect lavender fields. You can see the great purple rolling hills of enchanting beauty, for as far as the eye can see.
What to wear
Submerge in the alluring beauty of the magical blooms in a breezy dress, wide-brimmed hat, and the perfect sandal.
Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico
If you want to venture further afield, this dazzling tropical coast in Mexico is the destination for you. Every July, the island hosts the annual Whale Shark Festival and hundreds of sharks gather offshore. The festival is scheduled in July as the full moon in summer months triggers the spawn of tunas and bonitos that brings groups of hundreds of whale sharks to feed on the eggs of these species. The event raises awareness about conservation while allowing swimmers to share the water with the gentle giants in a sustainable manner.
What to wear
Celebrate the rhythm of the Caribbean in printed linen shorts, cotton top, and breezy sliders.
Wales, UK
In July, when the sun is shining, there is nowhere quite like the Welsh coast. If you are lucky, you might catch the best of the UK’s weather. Packed with castles and craggy peaks, Wales is a haven for nature lovers. With Europe’s best beaches and an 870-mile hiking route, Wales Coast Path, this immaculate coast is a hard-to-miss destination this summer.
What to wear
Step up your outfit game for the outdoor weather with a practical jacket, biker shorts, and leather cap-toe platform boots.
