When the term “exotic vacations” is tossed about, it can take on many different faces depending on the person. For some, this type of vacation brings visions of tropical islands surrounded by coral reefs and crystal clear, warm waters. However, for others, an exotic getaway means packing survival gear in a backpack, throwing on some hiking boots, and heading into the wildlife for an adventure of a lifetime.
No matter what the term brings to mind, one thing is for sure – we are all missing the days of exotic vacations. But, on the brighter side, the current travel restrictions can’t last forever! So as we daydream of lands far away, we’d like to bring you aboard by providing a list of a few of the world’s most beautiful tropical destinations.
Palawan, Philippines
Named 2020’s best island in the world, Palawan offers it all. From adventure to sightseeing, beaches and natural attractions, food, lifestyle, value, and hospitality, there is truly no corner left untouched here.
Did we mention the crystal clear waters lined with palms overlooking the distant mountains?
Fiji
When it comes to exotic tropical vacations, Fiji is a tough island to beat. Lush forests, waterfalls leading to natural pools, gorges, and incredible diving sites are just a few of the many features.
Fiji is comprised of over 300 islands, so be sure to check in with your local travel agent to discover which location best suits your vacation needs!
Bora Bora, French Polynesia
Emerald lagoons and scents of flowers and vanilla surround you as you lay in the warm sands of Bora Bora. While we believe it’s nearly impossible to squeeze in too much relaxation, if you find yourself needing to “go,” be sure to check out the unforgettable shark and snorkeling safari!
Azores, Portugal
Characterized by dramatic landscapes, fishing villages, and hydrangeas, the Azores is, without question, Portugal’s best-kept secret.
Oh, and how can we not mention the food?
The Azores offer some of the most incredible dining experiences, especially when it comes to seafood. Even better, these islands are far more accessible than most imagine with nonstop flights out of Boston!
Maui, Hawaii
Known as the “Valley Isle,” Maui is a favorite among Hawaiian tourists. With beaches spanning over 120 miles, misty mountainous peaks, and sunsets that stories are made from, this island will do anything but disappoint. You don’t get ranked one of the world’s top exotic vacation spots for no good reason!
