Travelers who explore the world’s lesser-known locales often discover memorable moments that can’t be found at a more popular holiday destination. These tucked-away slices of heaven gain their appeal through quirky charm, gorgeous scenery and unique experiences. 

The destinations we’ve showcased below aren’t too remote, but it’s worth noting that a couple of them might not have easily-accessible online connections. In other words, make sure you’ve got enough data if you want to play online slots and stay otherwise connected! With that caveat out of the way, let’s take a closer look at eight underrated getaways to visit this festive season.

1. Andaman Islands

Our first port of call is the Andaman Islands – a hidden gem found off the coast of West India. This serene and pristine destination is home to several beautiful beaches, friendly locals and an abundance of marine life.

Regarding accommodation, the Taj Exotica Resort & Spa is easily your best bet. It’s got all the amenities you would expect from a first-class hotel, making it ideal for travelers who prefer luxury and relaxation without big crowds and loud cityscapes.

2. Asturias

Although Spain is a highly popular country for tourists, Asturias is one of the more remote regions of the country that doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Its picturesque vistas make it a nature lover’s paradise, but there’s more than just the marvels of nature on offer.

Asturias is home to the largest building in Spain, the Universidad Laboral. The region’s capital, Oviedo, is a World Heritage Site. The entire region is a food lover’s dream, producing over 50 types of cheese, and every town has a local cider to tempt your taste buds.

3. Belize

Instead of going to the Bahamas or the Maldives, get your dose of tropical climates and island living by taking a trip to Belize. It has nearly everything you could want from an exotic retreat, including the largest reef in the Northern Hemisphere!

Finding casino table games might be a bit of a challenge, but the good news is that all of the top resorts, hotels and restaurants offer high-speed wireless internet for their customers, so you can play the best casino games without using a cent of your airtime.

4. Cape Verde

Cape Verde is a prime example of the benefits of a multicultural society. It’s an archipelago consisting of 10 stunning islands, each containing a unique combination of subcultures you would be hard-pressed to find anywhere else.

Brazil, Ghana, Portugal, Senegal and France all had their own parts to play in the history of this spectacular melting pot. Much like online casino games, the sheer variety of diverse experiences is a major drawcard for all different types of travelers.

5. Coober Pedy, Australia

Often referred to as the opal capital of the world, Coober Pedy is the type of town you might see on an Outback picture postcard. Interestingly, because of the hot climate, houses and buildings are built underground to keep occupants cool and comfortable.

The town’s economy has been boosted by local tourists in recent years, so now is the perfect time for international visitors to stop by. The opal mines are a major attraction, but the town also has several entertainment options, including a rare subterranean casino!

6. Ecuador

Ecuador is a fairly small country that can be found between Peru and Columbia. Despite the thriving tourism industries of its larger neighbors, it’s often overlooked due to its smaller size, which is a shame when you consider how much the country has going for it.

Easy to explore and tough to forget, Ecuador has historic structures and natural beauty in equal measure. Best of all, the local currency is the dollar, so you don’t have to go through the trouble of exchanging currencies when you visit this captivating country.

7. The Falkland Islands

If you’re in the mood to escape from modern places – and all the distractions that come with them – you won’t find any live dealer casino games in the Falkland Islands. Mother Nature rules the roost here and the tourism sector focuses on flora and fauna exclusively.

The climate remains largely the same throughout the year, but make sure you’re prepared for half a year’s worth of rainfall and pack a few garments you would usually only bring out for fall. Don’t forget to take a camera along with you – there’s great beauty to be captured.

8. North Macedonia

North Macedonia is the epitome of endearing quirkiness. It’s the type of destination where a festive atmosphere comes naturally, an observation made all the more significant when you consider the country’s rich yet conflict-laden history.

The capital city of Skopje is definitely a highlight for most visitors. Essentially, Skopje is a tour of North Macedonia’s eclectic past, with over 50 statues of famous historical figures, ancient bazaars and modern museums galore.
