Bali

Serene temples and beautiful beaches are the biggest draws to this lush Indonesian paradise. And we do mean lush – the region's notoriously soggy wet season is best avoided by planning a visit between April and October. Break up your beach time with a visit to Kintamani, home to a towering (and active) volcano and a large lake. If you're craving an adrenaline rush, rent a scooter and go exploring or hop on one of the island's many swings to soar above rice terraces and jungles.
