As winter fast approaches, COMO Hotels and Resorts invites travelers to experience the season their own way, from snow-covered landscapes in the Dolomites to warm-weather escapes in the Caribbean and Maldives, or culinary adventures in Western Australia.
COMO Parrot Cay Turks & Caicos
For those looking to begin the new year with a renewed sense of balance, winter offers an ideal opportunity to retreat to the award-winning private island resort, COMO Parrot Cay in Turks & Caicos. Surrounded by turquoise waters and 1,000 acres of white-sand beaches, the resort offers barefoot luxury at every corner. This winter, guests can partake in a new wellness program - A Journey into Ayurveda - available from November 1, 2026 through February 15, 2027. Visiting Ayurvedic consultant Dr Vikrant Sharma brings personalised wellness journeys rooted in ancient Indian traditions. Guests begin with an Ayurvedic consultation to understand their individual constitution before experiencing therapies including Abhyanga, Shirodhara, Marma therapy and healing sound, alongside COMO Conversations exploring the principles of Ayurveda. The experience offers a thoughtful way to step away from the pace of everyday life and enter the new year with a renewed focus on wellbeing.
A Nature-Led Reset at COMO Point Yamu Phuket, Thailand
Winter can also be an invitation to reconnect with nature, and at COMO Point Yamu, the tropical landscape of Phuket provides the setting for an invigorating escape. Perched on Cape Yamu overlooking the Andaman Sea, the resort pairs COMO’s signature approach to wellness with the natural beauty and cultural richness of southern Thailand. Beyond the treatment room, guests can embark on the Khao Phra Teaw National Park Rainforest Hike, a challenging four-hour journey into one of Phuket’s last areas of virgin rainforest. Covering approximately eight kilometres, the trek leads through dense vegetation alive with wildlife before culminating in a swim in a natural pool and a visit to Bang Pae, Phuket’s largest waterfall. Combining movement, fresh air and immersion in the island’s untouched landscape, the experience offers a more adventurous interpretation of a winter wellness reset - one that leaves guests invigorated by the destination itself.
Women’s Ski and Wellness Retreat at COMO Alpina Dolomites Alpe di Siusi, Italy
For travelers who prefer to embrace winter rather than escape it, COMO Alpina Dolomites offers an alpine retreat where skiing, wellness and restorative downtime come together against the dramatic backdrop of the Dolomites. Set at the foot of the Alpe di Siusi, Europe’s largest high-altitude plateau, the resort provides direct access to the slopes alongside COMO Shambhala wellness facilities, nourishing cuisine and panoramic mountain views. This winter, the Women’s Ski & Wellness Retreat - Summit Within - takes place January 24–30, 2027. Bringing together Olympic champions Julia Mancuso and Denise Karbon with visiting wellness practitioner Martina Wegscheider, the week-long retreat offers women the chance to ski, move, and feel connected. Guests will ski across Alpe di Siusi, Val Gardena and Alta Badia, balance days on the slopes with yoga and personalised treatments, and experience a special evening featuring a snowcat ascent to a traditional mountain hut followed by a sledge ride back down. Whether joining the retreat or simply settling into the rhythm of alpine life, COMO Alpina Dolomites offers a distinctly European take on the winter reset - pairing invigorating outdoor adventure with restorative wellness.
A Taste of Western Australia Perth, Australia
For those seeking sunshine, food and wine, winter can be an ideal time to look further afield to Western Australia and COMO The Treasury in the heart of Perth. Housed within the beautifully restored State Buildings, the hotel provides an elegant gateway to a region increasingly celebrated for its exceptional produce, wine and distinctive culinary identity. At the centre of the experience is Wildflower, COMO The Treasury’s Three Chef Hat-awardwinning rooftop restaurant, where sweeping views across Perth and the Swan River accompany a menu inspired by the six Indigenous seasons of the Noongar calendar. Driven by farmers and foragers, the restaurant’s ever-changing menus showcase the diversity of Western Australian produce and the relationship between food, landscape and season. Guests can further explore the region through wine masterclasses and the broader State Buildings, where a collection of restaurants, bars and local food experiences creates a natural base from which to discover Perth and Western Australia beyond. For those looking to turn winter into a culinary escape, COMO The Treasury offers a chance to experience one of Australia’s most distinctive food and wine destinations through the lens of a hotel deeply rooted in its sense of place.
From Sea to Self with Gregory Burns at COMO Cocoa Island Cocoa Island, Maldives
For an entirely different take on winter, COMO Cocoa Island offers a secluded escape into the warm waters of the Maldives, where days unfold around the ocean, barefoot living and COMO Shambhala wellness. Accessible by speedboat from Malé, the intimate island retreat is surrounded by the crystalline waters of the South Malé Atoll, with overwater villas extending directly above the lagoon and a focus on restorative experiences, marine exploration and slow island living. From December 8–27, 2026, the resort will welcome acclaimed abstract painter and Paralympic athlete Gregory Burns for From Sea to Self, a three-week artist residency exploring the relationship between art, nature and personal transformation. Through open studios, intimate conversations and hands-on workshops, guests will have the opportunity to engage with Burns’ creative process and his profound connection to the ocean, culminating in an exhibition of work created during the residency. Beyond the programme, COMO Cocoa Island offers its own natural winter escape, with diving, snorkelling, fishing, island picnics and COMO Shambhala experiences creating an environment designed for slowing down and reconnecting.
