The best part? Since some of these locations are not well-known, you might have the spot to yourself.
1. Kuang Si Falls, Laos
Laos (also known as the Land of a Million Elephants) is without a doubt a treasure that deserves all of its flowers for its unparalleled beauty and splendour. With its golden temples and location near the Mekong and Nam Kham rivers, the city of Luang Prabang is picture-perfect. The 40-minute drive to Kuang Si Falls will take you through a vibrant jungle. The falls are divided into three tiers, each with a pool for relaxing and wading.
2. Lapland, Finland
If you’re obsessed with stargazing, take your love to new heights by admiring the stars amid the Northern Lights in the northernmost region of Finland. In the cooler months, Lapland is blanketed with snow. Seeing the neon bands in the sky is a surreal experience you can enjoy while sledding or sitting in front of your cabin.
3. Bagan, Myanmar
Bagan is a Unesco World Heritage site with numerous sacred structures to explore and learn about. Hot air ballooning is one of the most well-known and novel ways to see it, attracting visitors from all over the world. Floating high above ancient Buddhist temples and pagodas may be the most convincing reason to temporarily forget your fear of heights.
4. Barcelona, Spain
Barcelona is a feast for the senses, with incredible food, sprawling beaches, world-renowned architecture, and a plethora of museums. Architecture enthusiasts can visit Antoni Gaud’s works, including La Sagrada Familia and Park Güell. It’s a creative haven, from the historic Gothic Quarter to the Picasso Museum.
5. Chamarel, Mauritius
Though this East African island is known for its beautiful, pristine beaches, if you venture inland, you’ll find this brilliant geological formation known as “Seven Coloured Earths.”
6. Banff National Park, Canada
July and August are the best months to see Marvel Lake’s vibrant turquoise hue, which is caused by sunlight reflecting off the rock floor. However, Banff is also home to three world-class ski resorts and is beautiful in the winter.
7. Las Coloradas, Mexico
These pastel lagoons in Yucatán, Mexico, are the stuff of colour palette fantasies. If you’re staying in Tulum or Cancn, the road trip is well worth it.
8. Amalfi Coast, Italy
Imagine sipping a limoncello while admiring these panoramic views. That is amore. Beautiful sights aside, whether you go island hopping to Ischia and Capri or stay on the coast in Positano, Sorrento, and Naples, you’ll have plenty of outdoor activities and cultural experiences (Pompei! Vila Jovis!).
9. Tu Le Valley, Vietnam
Tu Le Valley’s rainbow of golden and green terraced rice paddies creates an enchanting pattern. It is surrounded by mountain ranges and is beautiful all year, though September is the best time to visit because the rice is ripening.
10. Petra, Jordan
Do you want to know why it’s known as the Rose City? Wait until you see it almost glow at sunset. It has been described by Unesco as “half-built, half-carved into the rock, and surrounded by mountains riddled with passages and gorges.” As one of the world’s seven wonders, it deserves to be at the top of your bucket list.
