Most Beautiful and Surreal Places on Earth

Flamingo Beach, Aruba

A beach where Flamingos roam around within touching distance? Yes, such a place actually exists. Let me introduce you to the beautiful One Happy Island, Aruba, in the Caribbean

Flamingo Beach is an adults-only beach you can enjoy when you travel to Renaissance Island. Renaissance Island is a 40 acre privately owned, artificial isle.

Giraffe Manor, Nairobi

Giraffe Manor is owned by The Safari Collection and is an exclusive boutique hotel, set in 12 acres of private land within 140 acres of indigenous forest in the Langata suburb of Nairobi. However, the most fascinating thing about Giraffe Manor is its herd of resident Rothschild giraffe who may visit morning and evening, sometimes poking their long necks into the windows in the hope of a treat, before retreating to their forest sanctuary. Giraffe Manor can be booked for the night or as part of a complete tailor-made safari with The Safari Collection.

Lake Louise, Canada

Set inside Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, Lake Louise is a year-round resort destination. On a sunny day, the impossibly blue lake reflects the surrounding snowcapped mountains.

Churchill , Canada

Churchill is one of the few human settlements where polar bears can be observed in the wild. Thousands of visitors from around the world visit each fall for the excitement of seeing these magnificent animals.

Iguazu Falls, Argentina

One of the seven new natural wonders of the world, these incredible waterfalls frame the Argentina-Brazil border. Together they make up the largest system of waterfalls in the world, and you won’t be able to look without losing your breath.

Gorilla Trekking, Rwanda

When visiting the ‘Land of a Thousand Hills’, one should not miss out on the magnificent opportunity to visit Rwanda's Volcanoes National Park (PNV) consisting of 125 km2 of mountain forest and home to the six Virunga Volcanoes and the world famous mountain gorillas. Protected within the PNV, the lushly forested slopes of the mountains form an appropriately dramatic natural setting for what is arguably the most poignant and memorable wildlife experience in the world: gorilla trekking.

Palawan, Philippines

Remote and sparsely populated, Palawan just might be the most beautiful island in the world. It’s basically a long sliver of villages surrounded by crystal-clear water, lagoons and lush forest.

Chefchaouen, Morocco

Nicknamed the blue city, this locale in northern Morocco’s Rif Mountains is known for its blue-washed walls, serpentine cobblestone streets and Moorish architecture

Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia

There’s a reason Croatia is such a hotbed for tourism these days. It’s drop-dead gorgeous. Just look at this national park, complete with cascading waterfalls, cerulean lakes, hiking trails and limestone canyons.

Devil’s Pool & Victoria Falls

During the drier months of the year, the Zambezi River drops quite substantially, and from mid August to mid January, it is possible to walk along the lip of the falls. This can only be done from the Zambian side. After thousands of years of erosion, many rock pools have formed and one of them has formed right on the very edge of the sheer drop. This is indeed the ultimate infinity pool

Grand Prismatic Spring, Wyoming

Of all of nature’s incredible work, this rainbow-ringed natural hot spring in Yellowstone National Park still manages to blow our minds

Cappadocia, Turkey

With its mix of naturally formed rounded and jagged rock, hill, valley, and chimney formations in hues ranging from clays to pinks, Cappadocia looks like it could only exist in a fairy tale.
