3. Jaipur, India
Jaipur, or Pink City, is easily the prettiest destination in India and a lot of it can be attributed to the grand legacy left behind by royalty.

7. Bali, Indonesia
Whether it is holistic healing, an adrenaline-fuelled expedition or a tropical getaway you seek, this sought after island really has it all.

9. Arizona, United States
Some of mother nature’s best kept masterpieces belong to Arizona. Marvel at the wondrous Grand Canyon, trek up to the amber hued Horseshoe Bend or explore the Sonoran Desert to spot towering saguaro cacti. All of its national parks are also an avid hiker’s dream.
10. Negril, Jamaica
Located on the western tip of Jamaica, Negril is a modest beach town that is never short of things to do. If the sparkling sea water isn’t enough to entice you, head for the waterfalls, catch the breathtaking sunsets, participate in a beach bar crawl, go cliff jumping, horseback riding or relish in its kaleidoscope of culinary flavours.
