SOCOTRA,
YEMEN

The most alien-looking place on Earth

This archipelago belonging to Yemen is difficult to access and is geared for the true adventurers among you. But once you get there, prepare for one of the most unique experiences a plane ticket can buy. This heaven of biodiversity features rare trees and birds, along with the wildest coral reef you’ll likely ever see. In 2008, Socotra was designated as a UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization) World Heritage Site. Keep in mind that Socotra is an eco-tourism destination, so luxury-seekers, WiFi, and AC lovers need not apply.

BALI,
INDONESIA

Energy reboot

After a month of spirituality, nothing beats a relaxing retreat to Bali to refresh and re-energize before the pace of life picks up again. Pack your suitcase with your favorite kaftans and swimwear and unwind on the island of Gods. Take part in colorful ceremonies hosted by friendly Balinese inhabitants at night and practice yoga or relax at the spa during the day.

ZANZIBAR,
TANZANIA

Diving and dining

Imagine some of the most serene beaches in the world, outstanding food, and African culture mixed with Arab heritage and you have Zanzibar. The former Omani colony boasts incredible snorkeling spots around its coral reefs, where tourists are often greeted by dolphins. Walk around the small streets of Stone Town, the capital of Zanzibar, and buy some beautiful Tanzanite stones and Maasai jewelry before heading to one of the many luxury resorts this island offers.
