Where to Travel in August 2025 — Tailwinds Travels Guide
This is a very favorable time of year for the travel industry, both domestic and out-of-the-ordinary expeditions. For Singaporeans, the occasion offers the chance to see some of the most beautiful places in the world during the season that they are best.
Why August is Special for Travel
August is the summer season of the Northern Hemisphere at its peak, with long days, active festival life, and all sorts of outdoor activities. At the same time, Southeast Asia makes the most of the period when some of the tropical holiday spots offer sunny and dry weather, perfect for a beach holiday. For some relief from heat, mountain and highland areas offer the relief of cool, refreshing climes.
Top August Experiences You Shouldn’t Miss
Visualize drinking the coconut water while on a lonely beach in Bali, uncovering the lantern-lit alleys of the Old Quarter in Hanoi, experiencing belly-laughing live performances at the Edinburgh Fringe, or being close to the elephants while on the African safari. August appreciates intensive immersion — within the fields of nature, cultures, and stunning experiences.
