The alarm clock rings, it's dark. You look out the window: Gray skies, drizzle, and temperatures that make you want to crawl back under the covers. Be honest: Why do we do this to ourselves every year?
The trend has long been moving away from two-week short trips and toward long-term vacations. “Wintering” is no longer just for retirees in Mallorca, but for modern, freedom-loving women who simply open their laptops under palm trees. We'll show you where the sun shines brightest in January and why your beachwear from ENIQUA is the most important upgrade for your suitcase.
Where to go: Our top destinations for a winter getaway
When we talk about wintering in warm countries, we mean places that guarantee “barefoot luxury.” Here are our favorites for the perfect mix of relaxation, lifestyle, and warmth:
1. Dubai & Abu Dhabi: Glamour without compromise
For those who love urban chic but don't want to miss out on the beach. Summer is guaranteed here with pleasant temperatures of 25–30 degrees Celsius.
- The vibe: High-end beach clubs, dinner in the clouds, and shopping in a class of its own.
- Your look: It's okay to sparkle here! Our Golden Goddess Robe is made for the beach clubs on The Palm. In Dubai, “too much” is just right.
2. Cape Town, South Africa: The place to be
When it's winter in Germany, it's midsummer in Cape Town. The city vibrates with energy, art, and culinary highlights.
- The vibe: More relaxed than Dubai, but extremely stylish. Perfect for nature lovers who hike Table Mountain in the morning and drink cocktails in Camps Bay in the evening.
- Your look: Cool and sophisticated. A beach dress perfectly complements the modern architecture of the villas in Clifton.
3. Thailand & Bali: Tropical State of Mind
The classic destination for total relaxation. If you want to escape winter to do yoga, eat healthily, and unwind, this is the place for you.
- The vibe: Infinity pools in the jungle, white beaches, and spiritual wellness.
- Your look: Lightness is key here. Our transparent robes protect you from the tropical sun while allowing every breeze to touch your skin.
Packing for 4 to 8 weeks: Less is more (but make it fashion!)
The biggest problem with long-term vacations: Your suitcase is bursting at the seams. The mistake most people make is packing too many “normal” everyday clothes. But let's be honest: You don't need jeans and heavy sweaters in the tropics.
You need versatility.
This is exactly where a beach coat or beach robe from Eniqua is the ultimate game changer for your luggage:
- At the pool: The most elegant cover-up over your bikini.
- In your home office (workation): Got a video call on the terrace? A glittery beach cover-up over a simple top instantly makes you look “dressed up” and professionally creative without making you sweat.
- In the evening: With an underdress or belt, your beach piece becomes an exciting evening outfit for dinner on the beach.
Instead of lugging around five different jackets and dresses, invest in one or two high-quality statement pieces that can be adapted to any occasion.
Workation & lifestyle: How to strike the right balance
Wintering often means working where others go on vacation. To make your “workation” (work + vacation) a success, you need routine.
- The early bird: Use the morning hours for exercise or the most important work before the heat sets in.
- The sundowner as a reward: Set clear boundaries. When the sun goes down, close your laptop. This is your moment to slip into your Eniqua coat and celebrate the transition from “business mode” to “goddess.”

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about wintering
What clothing is best suited for high humidity? Avoid thick cotton, which absorbs moisture and becomes heavy. Opt for airy mesh fabrics, tulle, or silk. Our Eniqua robes are designed to allow air to circulate – perfect for tropical climates.
Is a beach kimono also suitable for everyday wear? Absolutely. It will be your best friend during your everyday resort life. You can throw it on at breakfast, wear it by the pool, or use it as a light coat when exploring the island on a scooter (and want to protect your arms from sunburn).
How do I care for my beachwear when traveling? We know that you don't want to be running to the dry cleaner all the time on a long vacation, so our fabrics are easy to care for. Often, it's enough to rinse them briefly in the sink with mild shampoo and let them dry in the wind. They are wrinkle-resistant, so just take them out of your suitcase and look great.
