Five Best Holiday Destinations

by Greyian Storm on 12/12/07 at 11:12 am

The very best holiday destinations in the world, places that must be visited to be believed.

  1. The Maldives

    The Maldives are somewhere you just have to go. They’re beautiful, sunny, warm etc etc. But they’re more than just that. They’re a great holiday destination, the people that go there are absolutely lovely, the staff on all the various islands are wonderful, the facilities are unbelievable. The water sports that you can do are brilliant, and the scuba diving is the best I’ve ever witnessed.

  2. Malta

    Malta is a wonderful little island. It isn’t great for a long holiday, but it is lovely for a short stay, especially the town of Dragonara near Valletta. The scenery is beautiful, the people are wonderful and the weather is lovely all the time. A very relaxing and enjoyable holiday destination.

  3. Croatia

    Although the weather isn’t always perfect, the country is lovely. The landscape is absolutely gorgeous, especially the mountain areas. The people are very nice, the scuba diving is great (except the water gets very cold at depths exceeding 10 metres). Dubrovnik is lovely, especially the old city, and is a most see if you are in the area.

  4. Russia

    Although Russia mightn’t be everyone’s favourite country, it is definitely somewhere than everyone should visit, especially in the Winter. Russia has a vivid history, that is clearly visible from Russian cities and monuments. Just make sure you don’t get buried in the fierce Winter snows.

  5. Egypt

    Even if you only go for the Pyramids, they really are phenomenal. They really highlight how great the Ancient Egyptians were, and they are fantastic. The weather is lovely, and the Nile is also a wonderful sight. The sea is lovely and the people are lovely, but I would steer clear of Cairo.

Dragonara is not a town near Valletta. it’s the name of one of the best hotels in St. Julians (Westin Dragonara Resort Hotel).

This is a rather unique list.

I like the list and supporting text, makes an interesting read. I’m not so sure about Russia. I have been to Moscow, Russia a number of times, but never really got into the “holiday” mode. May be I’m missing the right places within Russia or may be I need better company.

It’s funny you mention Egypt as that is one place I really love. I think Egypt adds a “cultural and laid back” angle (if you know the right places to go to) and I think that’s more efficient use of your time away.

Here are some more top holiday destinations from a British point of view that made an interesting read for me:

My favourite ones are Goa, India and Tenerife, Spain and they’ll always be on top my my list.

I guess I’m one of those who travel for the diversity of it. Overall, I like this list and it has indeed helped me decide on my next holiday destination – Malta. Any ideas on when to go?

The list seems to be great. While i think Goa with it’s Warm and sunny beaches extending for hundreds of kilometers, making it a perfect holiday paradise. http://goa-holidays.in/Exotic-Beaches.html
