Top 5 Travel destinations in the world for your next trip in 2024

5. Tahiti, French Polynesia

Savoring French cuisine, indulging in premier resorts, and basking in warm waters — what more could one ask for? While Tahiti may come with a high price tag, travelers agree that the experience is invaluable.

Tahiti, the largest among the 118 islands of French Polynesia, is divided into two primary areas linked by a land bridge. The larger area, Tahiti Nui, hosts the capital city, Papeete, and the popular surfing destination, Papenoo Beach. On the other hand, the smaller area, Tahiti Iti, provides greater privacy and features the pristine white sands of La Plage de Maui.

What to Know Before You Go to Tahiti

Where to stay: Hilton Hotel Tahiti

Hot tip: Visit between May and October, Tahiti’s winter, when there are less humidity and rain. 

Fun fact: Overcrowding is not a concern here; Hawaii gets more visitors in 10 days than all of French Polynesia does in a year.

4. Maui, Hawaii

If you’re pressed for time or indecisive about which Hawaiian island to choose, Maui strikes the perfect balance: it’s neither too large nor too small, but just the right size.

Maui offers five distinct regions for exploration, including the well-loved West Maui and South Maui, which boast many of the island’s renowned attractions and beaches, such as Wailea Beach in South Maui. However, East Maui should not be missed, with its scenic Road to Hana, nor should the Upcountry, where the immense dormant volcano, Haleakala, awaits adventurers.

What to Know Before You Go to Maui

Where to stay: Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea

Hot tip:Hawaii is known for being a costly destination, so it’s wise to plan a generous budget. Remember to account for additional expenses such as hotel amenities like gym access and WiFi. It’s also advisable to research car rental insurance options prior to approaching the rental counter.

Fun fact: How’s this for a selling point? Maui has more beach than any other Hawaiian island — 60 miles of it, with red, white and black sand.

3. Bora Bora, French Polynesia

The French Polynesian island of Bora Bora may be small, but it’s a giant when it comes to natural beauty. Spanning just over 2 miles in width and 6 miles in length, this island boasts a stunning turquoise lagoon encircled by a vibrant jungle.

For those seeking adventure beyond relaxation, consider a hike or a 4X4 tour up Mount Otemanu, an extinct volcano that towers 2,400 feet above the lagoon. Alternatively, snorkeling in the Coral Gardens offers a chance to see reef sharks, eels, and stingrays up close.

Despite the lengthy journey to Bora Bora Airport due to its isolated location, the breathtaking views of this Polynesian paradise will make you forget the distance traveled.

What to Know Before You Go to Bora Bora

Where to stay: Conrad Bora Bora Nui

Hot tip:While Bora Bora may be known for its high costs, you can reduce expenses by traveling during the low season from December to March, avoiding the Christmas holidays, and by carrying your own alcohol and sunscreen.

Fun fact: Bora Bora is one of the countries that no longer exists. The Kingdom of Bora Bora was an independent state until it was forcefully overtaken and annexed by France in 1888.

2. Paris, France

Paris has it all — incredible cuisine, legendary landmarks and centuries of history. Those are just some of the reasons it’s the second-best place to visit in the world.

While you’ll likely want to visit well-known attractions such as the Eiffel Tower and the Musée d’Orsay, it’s also worth setting aside time to discover other areas of Paris. The city’s 20 unique districts, known as arrondissements, offer a variety of experiences. Notable examples include the 2nd arrondissement, renowned for its covered passages and trendy dining spots, and the picturesque 18th arrondissement, which boasts quaint squares, cafes, and bars away from the bustling tourist centers.

What to Know Before You Go to Paris

Where to stay: Grand Hotel Du Palais Royal

Hot tip: Yes, summer in Paris is busy, but the weather is also ideal — average highs are in the 70s.

Fun fact: Built for the 1889 World Fair, the Eiffel Tower was originally meant to be temporary, and was almost torn down in 1909. Luckily, local officials saw its value as a radiotelegraph station, preserving the future tourist icon for generations to come. 

1. South Island, New Zealand

South Island, the larger but less populated of the two islands that make up New Zealand, earn this top-spot honor for its gorgeous scenery, adrenalin-pumping experiences and affordability.

The Milford Sound trek, spanning 33.5 miles and capped at 90 hikers simultaneously, ranks among the globe’s premier hikes. It features highlights such as Lake Te Anau, numerous suspension bridges, a mountain pass, and New Zealand’s highest waterfall, Sutherland Falls.

For an exhilarating experience, you can leap from a helicopter over the Harris Mountains with skis strapped on. If that’s not enough, wander through Fiordland National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and discover the Fox and Franz Josef Glaciers, two of the world’s most accessible glaciers.
