"We're seeing an uptick in African locations and overall, an increased demand for outdoor destinations," says Escapio.com founder Uwe Frers. "Winter travelers seem to be looking for an experience encompassing luxury and adventure."

On the Eastern Cape of South Africa, the Shamwari Game Reserve Hotel has six distinct lodges scattered across a 61,000 acre private game reserve.

Ten luxurious rooms perched on a hillside on the Western Cape make up the Les Cascades de Bantry Bay boutique hotel.

The nature-centric Hotel Villas HM Paraiso Del Mar north of the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico sits on a nature reserve.

In Marrakech, the interior patios and gardens of the Riad des Arts boutique hotel and the Riad Honey bed & breakfast are magical.

Romantics seeking world-class spas and skiing can look to the European Alps. In the Austrian Tyrolean Alps the Josl Mountain Lounging Hotel and Sky Sphere spa along with the Hotel Berghof-Hintertux are standouts.

The 22 room 17th century Hotel Palazzo Mysanus in the Swiss Alps village of Samedan features stunning views.

"The term 'escapio' is a word play on 'escape' for those seeking refuge, looking to get away from it all," says Frers.
