Heading out on a luxurious vacation is something most people fantasize about, particularly in colder parts of North America. Whether it’s a romantic honeymoon, a family scuba vacation, or an adventure getaway to hike and explore ancient ruins, vacations are portals to the unknown. However, as you dream of lounging on a tropical beach, you might be wondering where exactly to spend your dream vacation. Read on for the top seven most traveled vacation destinations in the world:
1. Geneva
Geneva in Switzerland can make the perfect vacation year-round. Known for its relaxed pace of life, the cobblestone streets of this hospitable city are home to some stunning architecture. You can choose to walk or cycle in the commuter-friendly city. It is also famous for its luxurious watch and jewelry production! And, of course you can’t go to Geneva without a sample of it’s delectable chocolate. We recommend Teuscher, a chocolatier known for their champagne chocolate egg truffles!
2. Napa Valley
Napa Valley in California is also an excellent romantic destination. Teeming with wineries, top-rated restaurants, and luxurious hotels, it is the ideal adult respite. Winery tours are available throughout the valley and you might not even need a rental car after Uber-ing around wine country. The quaint towns scattered throughout the valley are home to darling shops you won’t want to miss, and lavish spa experiences are common as well!
3. Auckland, New Zealand
Auckland in New Zealand is an excellent place for families to visit. It is a great mix of adventures in nature—hiking, mountain biking, whale and dolphin sightings, and untouched beaches—meeting the hustle of a busy urban city. Auckland is home to stunning waterfalls and beaches galore. Families with children may enjoy the hiking and swimming-friendly beaches, playing in city center parks, and exploring the city’s botanical gardens.
4. Dubai
Dubai in the United Arab Emirates is one of the top vacation destinations in the world. This luxurious city has numerous sightseeing attractions, such as the tallest building in the world.

5. Rome
Rome in Italy is a city full of history. The ancient architecture, such as the Colosseum and the Sistine Chapel, is the heartbeat of the city. The food alone, including the Italian staples of gelato, all the pasta, and the amazing Caribbean restaurants that scatter the city, are reason alone to visit Rome. It is also one of the safest cities in Italy, so book a chalet and spend some incredible days in this historic city.

7. Mallorca
Mallorca in Spain is the perfect year-round island destination. With its stunning Spanish architecture, pristine beaches, and crystal blue waters, Mallorca is ideal for romantic getaways. It is well connected to the rest of Europe and mainland Spain, so hopping on a quick flight and traveling to other locations on your trip is very doable. The Deià, on the west coast of Mallorca, is one of the most luxurious places to stay on the island, and you may even spot a celebrity or two while you’re there.
