Where to Go Next: Global Destinations Worth Discovering in 2025
If you're dreaming of a new destination this year, you're not alone. As we move through 2025, travellers are looking for places that offer more than just photo ops — they're seeking meaningful experiences, authentic charm, and locations that still feel special.
Here are a few places we think are worth considering for your next adventure — from sun-drenched islands to cultural hubs, and a few hidden gems in between.
Koh Samui, Thailand
Soft sands, coconut palms, and laid-back charm — Koh Samui continues to be a favourite for a reason.
Visit between January and April for the best weather, or catch the shoulder months of May and September for quieter beaches and better rates.
Whether you're staying at a private villa in Bophut or exploring nearby islands like Koh Tao, this destination balances relaxation with beauty at every turn.
Paros, Greece
While Santorini and Mykonos attract the crowds, Paros offers a more relaxed pace with just as much beauty. Think whitewashed villages, turquoise water, and local tavernas tucked into flower-lined streets.
Go between May and early July or September, when the island is warm but not too crowded. It's ideal for couples, solo travellers, or anyone wanting a taste of Greek island life without the chaos.
Nikko, Japan
Just two hours from Tokyo, Nikko feels like a world away. Rich forests, waterfalls, and some of the most ornate temples in Japan make this a great addition to any Japan itinerary.
Best visited in autumn (October–November) for the changing leaves, or in late spring (April–May) when the weather is clear and cool.
It’s a great stop if you're combining city travel with something more grounded and peaceful.
Marrakesh, Morocco
Known as the "Red City" for its distinctive sandstone buildings, Marrakesh offers a sensory-rich experience blending history, culture, and vibrant street life.
Wander through the labyrinthine alleys of the Medina, where you'll encounter bustling souks filled with spices, textiles, and handcrafted goods.
The Jemaa el-Fnaa square comes alive at night with storytellers, musicians, and food stalls serving traditional Moroccan dishes like tagine and couscous.
For a tranquil escape, visit the Jardin Majorelle, a stunning garden oasis once owned by Yves Saint Laurent, featuring exotic plants and the iconic cobalt-blue villa.
The best times to explore Marrakesh are during the spring (March to May) and autumn (September to November) months, when the weather is pleasantly warm, making it ideal for sightseeing and outdoor activities.
Brisbane, Australia
Brisbane has grown into one of Australia's most liveable and interesting cities — full of green space, riverside walks, and a rising food and arts scene.
May to October is ideal for dry weather and blue skies, and it’s also a great base for day trips to the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast.
If you're looking for a trip that mixes city life with nature, this one deserves a spot on your list.
Final Thoughts
These destinations weren’t picked from a trend list — they’re places we genuinely believe are worth your time.
They offer different things for different travellers, but all give you something real: space to slow down, connect, and experience more than just the usual checklist.
Your dream vacation, styled to perfection.
