Manarola, Italy
One of the quaint fishing villages that make up the colorful Cinque Terre, Manarola is rife with grapevines, lemon groves and medieval walls. You can only imagine the views from here.

Towering limestone pillars and tiny islets topped by forests rise from the emerald waters of the Gulf of Tonkin making Halong Bay a spectacular location. Declared a World Heritage Site in 1994, Halong Bay is dotted with 1600 limestone islands and islets. Halong Bay features a wide range of biodiversity, and its surrealistic scenery has been featured in countless movies.

Starting at the south coast of Papua New Guinea and stretching for over 2,300 kms, the Great Barrier Reef is immense. Made up of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands, there are so many different things to see. For the best vantage point, don some snorkel gear or scuba equipment and delve under the water to experience the brightly coloured corals and marine life. A highlight is Whitehaven Beach in the Whitsundays, commonly listed as one of the world's best beaches.

Another amazing natural landmark is the Grand Prismatic Spring in the Yellowstone National Park. It is the third largest hot spring in the world, but what makes it truly beautiful are the colours. Due to micro-organisms in the water that change colour with temperature, the spring has a blue centre with rings of green, yellow, orange and red surrounding it. You will get differing colours throughout the year, with the best views in Summer when the sun is shining on the lake

It was in 1820 that Nathanial Palmer headed south to the edge of the earth on a 47-foot sloop named Hero on a sealing expedition and laid claim to the discovery of Antarctica, remarks George Morgan-Grenville, Founder & CEO of Red Savannah. And now, 200 years later, vast swaths of the polar region have begun to melt and recess in the face of rising global temperatures. A slew of new expedition-class vessels have been thusly deployed to take travelers back to the end of the world for one last look before it threatens to disappear.

Fifty years ago, there were over 500 hotels in the Catskills a haven where those plagued by the unpleasant side effects of urban living could breathe in the fresh mountain air. Massive resorts grew (the region lays claim to having the first indoor swimming, dubbed a “natatorium”) attracting New York, Boston and Philadelphia’s Jewish and Italian populations, but then air conditioning was invented, airplanes went commercial, and assimilation among immigrant cultures became commonplace the result? No one felt the need for a Dirty Dancing-esque escape any more.

This small but dynamic country has ended up on our must visit list more than once this past decade, but it's becoming a classic for far more reasons than one. "If Tel Aviv is the extroverted and eccentric younger brother, Jerusalem is an enigmatic and surprising city that has a contemporary side usually unknown to travelers," explains Tova Wald of Boutique Travel & Events. With almost more cultural festivals and museums per capita than any city in the world, and a homegrown dining scene that has taken the rest of the world by storm thanks to Chefs Yotam Ottolenghi and Assaf Granit, this old city is much more than meets the eye.

Year after year Japan always seems to find a way to surprise and delight us it’s like the Meryl Streep of destinations, constantly out-performing the competition, and even one-upping itself. We feel repeatedly compelled to honor the Land of the Rising Sun because every new development be it a luxury hotel, restaurant, or even a bullet train link is always executed with the greatest of care. And 2020 is no different, especially with the impending Summer Olympics being held in Tokyo.

Remember the Listerine green swimming pool at the 2016 Rio Olympics? It became the physical manifestation of the corporate and political dysfunction that’s plagued Brazil for decades. But four years later, and out from under the international spotlight, South America’s largest nation has had a chance to quietly find its footing; each step forward (like the dissolution of the American visa mandate) a mea culpa for the series of calamities surrounding the Summer Games. And with the recent softening of the local currency, all seems to be forgiven.

Beware Chicago: Houston is coming for you. Texas’s largest metropolis is poised to usurp the mid western burg’s number-three position in the next national census. And with a population increasing at a significantly faster rate than cities #1 and #2 (New York and Los Angeles), who knows where Houston will rank by the end of the 2020s.

Somewhere south of Morocco’s sand dunes lies the motherland of Caribbean culture, a country where brilliant bolts of fabric hug its citizens, and the thump and scratch of live music underscores a symphony of bustling markets, crashing waves fit for surfing, and the howl of gray desert winds. With a newish international airport, Dakar is posed to be your layover hub as passengers transit between continents and a weekend is all you need to uncover a capital that’s poised to take on its rival cities abroad.

For years, Melbournians have touted their hometown as Australia’s fun, most livable city, with cool bars and a dining culture that’s elevated both coffee and veggie-forward eating (hello, avo-toast). Sydney, though bigger, was the show pony a beautiful burg fit for the click of the camera and not much more. But everything’s about to change: the beginning of 2020 marks the end of the state’s stringent lockout laws legislation aimed at curbing violence due to late-night alcohol consumption in Sydney’s Central Business District, which will inevitably breathe new life into the flagging bar culture.

Sweden’s archipelagos
Summer in Sweden is a giddy time as locals strive to squeeze every last drop of al-fresco fun from the season’s long hours of sunlight. Midsummer Eve, in late June, is a bigger celebration for Swedes than Christmas: all-day, outdoor parties are veritable or**es of pickled herring, schnapps and May Pole dancing (forgive them, it’s a very dark winter). It’s also the time when the country’s archipelagos are at their most idyllic. As well as Stockholm’s and Gothenburg’s, there are the green isles of east coast Östergötland, plus white beaches and windmills on southern Öland.

Andaman Islands
Where do you go for a castaway-in-paradise fix with all the good looks and deluxe touches of the Maldives, but none of the other guests? A savvy few have been whispering about the Andaman Islands – a far-flung archipelago of white-sand beaches and tangled mangroves in the Indian Ocean, 150km off Indonesia – for a while. But, at last, the luxury hotels have caught up. First came eight-suite, teak-chic Jalakara, on Havelock Island, all private tropical splendour in a hilltop plantation. And now, brand-new Taj Exotica Resort & Spa beckons with its 72 glass-and-timber villas, also on Havelock – or, more precisely, Radhanagar Beach, said to be one of the most beautiful in Asia. Nip in just before heavy monsoon rains hit at the end of June – there will be none of the high-season people, so you can go full Alex Garland.

Ningaloo Reef, Australia
The Great Barrier Reef might get all the press, but Western Australia’s Ningaloo Reef is just as incredible – and, in June, it’s one of the world’s best places to swim with whale sharks. Plus, getting up close to these gentle giants doesn’t require a cage. Better still, Ningaloo’s dive and snorkel sites are way more accessible; many of its richest waters are only a few hundred metres off the beach. Next, take a few days to discover the newly cosmopolitan-cool scene of WA’s isolated capital, Perth, with its al-fresco live-music venues, edgy late-night art shows and white-sand city beaches.

Basel, Switzerland
Synonymous with its world-famous art fair, this charming little Swiss town is heaven for art and architecture fans, particularly in June. Not just because that’s when ART Basel rolls in, but also because the arty party continues long into the summer twilight, at the city’s myriad waterside bars lining the Rhine. Building buffs have plenty to take in, from the 13th-century timbered houses of the old town to the bold modern designs by Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid and Tadao Ando. Foodies should make a beeline for three-Michelin-starred Cheval Blanc: snag a table on the riverside terrace and prepare for an avant-garde take on classic French cuisine (macaron with foie gras and garam masala, for example).

Menorca, Spain
Part of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca and Menorca are more chilled-out and low-key than their party-loving sister island of Ibiza. Mallorca, the larger of the two, is wonderfully diverse, from historic Palma to arty villages such as Deià, and the pine-tree-lined hidden coves along the north coast. Things are a lot quieter on Menorca, but all the better for taking a week out and totally relaxing on stunning beaches. Hotels aren't super smart, but lovely little converted farm houses dot the moody Mediterranean landscape, and there are clifftop bars for sipping G&Ts with sunset views.
