There are many beautiful places to visit in the world, whether you like history, nature or culture, but when we talk about heavenly destinations surely it involves more nature than anything else.
Sea, sand, green, silence, natural noises, everything that collaborates to create moments of peace that take us away from the stress of everyday life. So what do you think of this list? heavenly destinations?
Koh Samui
It is a beautiful island on the east coast of thailand, located in the Chumphon archipelago. It has a total area of 228.7 square kilometers and It is the second largest Thai island after the well-known Phuket.
Obviously, it is very touristy but that does not detract from its charm and its place among the paradisiacal destinations on our list today. Until the '70s of the 15th century, it did not have much development, in fact there were not even roads and joining the two ends of the island, about XNUMX kilometers, was arduous and involved walking through land and jungle.
Things changed with tourism, when not! But in addition, the island has a small production of rubber and coconuts and this has helped to generate prosperity, in addition to many changes in the natural environment and local culture.
The central part of the island is of jungle and there are mountains, being the highest the Khao Pom with 635 meters. Today there is a road that runs through the island, the 4169, making about 51 kilometers in a circular way. The capital is on the west coast and is Nathon. Here are the two main docks.
The climate is tropical and the maximum average temperature throughout the year is 28 ºC. Hot and humid, although relatively drier than the rest of Thailand. How do you get there? By plane, by Bangkok Airways, Thai Airways and Firefly Airlines. Too there is ferry service and to move around inside the island there is a bus and taxis.
Regarding accommodation there are resorts of all kinds, with almost 18 thousand rooms. Tourism comes mainly from Thailand, England and Germany.
Mozambique
Africa has many tourist pearls and Mozambique is one of them. It is southeast of the continent, on the shores of the Indian Ocean. It has mountains, coastal swamps, rivers, lakes, and beaches. There are 12 ecoregions: there are wooded savannahs, shady forests, mangroves, salt marshes, coastal savannahs, jungles...
The political instability of the continent in general, and of Mozambique in particular, have meant that it is not a well-known country from a tourist point of view. Or that a good part of its flora and fauna are not as well known or appreciated.
The truth is that it has beautiful beaches and wonderful islands in the sea. The civil war scared away tourism from neighboring countries and sowed doubts and reticence in the arrival of tourists from the rest of the world. Although from the '90s to today there are more visitors, Mozambqiue remains somewhat unexplored. The magnet is ecotourism And I believe that if you do a Google search about the tourist attractions in Mozambique, you will undoubtedly want to go.
The most publicized tourist destinations are the Bazaruto and Benguerra islands, Cabo Delgado, Gaza province, Inhambane, Bilene and Xai Xai. In terms of accommodation, there are all-inclusive hotels, Bed & Breakfasts, luxury camps and rental houses... Well, the photos are eloquent.
Zanzibar
This island is known as the island of spices. It is a semi-autonomous region of Tanzania. It is made up of numerous islands that are on the Indian Ocean, about 25 to 50 kilometers from the mainland, and is made up of several islands. Two of these islands are the largest, Unguja, which is often called directly Zanzibar, and Pemba.
The capital city of Zanzibar in Unguja is the capital and Stone Town, its historic center, is a World Heritage Site. The past tells us about the Portuguese colonization in the XNUMXth century, but later the Arabs would arrive, so this historic center has many traces and a great history.
There is a Portuguese port, a sultan's palace, gardens, merchants' houses, Turkish baths and in the surrounding area numerous historic plantations where cloves, vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon and other spices are still grown.
Zanzibar's coastline offers some of the best beaches in the world and according to your preferences, sand or surf, you have to choose the coast. On the east coast, the waves break over coral reefs and there are sandbanks that form lagoons where the presence of colorful fish is the norm. To the north there are white sand beaches and calm waters. On the west coast is Stone Town and at low tide you see the slave caves on the Mangapwani beaches.
Must visit the Chole Island Marine Park, right in front of the old town, and also the Snake Islands, the old prison and the cemetery. On the south coast is the Menai Bay Conservation Area, a special area that protects turtles and endangered species. There is also the Jozani Forest, with their red jumpsuits.
The best time to visit Zanzibar is between June and October or between December and February.
Bali
Who would not include Bali in a list of paradisiacal destinations? Is a beautiful island that is in Indonesia, with rice fields, mountains, coral reefs and beautiful beaches. How to get to Bali? By plane, there is an airport, and once on the island you can rent a scooter, a car or travel by bus.
High season includes July and August, Easter and the end-of-year holidays, but the best time to visit Bali is April, May, June and September, just before the peak. It is still dry season, there is less humidity and the prices are lower. In addition, they are also good months for water sports and the most popular attractions such as marine parks, temples and others are much less crowded.
If it is your first trip to Bali you can do this tour: Sanur, Jimbaran or Nusa Dua. It is easy to get there and the atmosphere is cool. Then you can add Ubud to discover the local culture and some very beautiful natural sites that are in the north of Bali. And you can also jump to the tropical and calmer style Lembongan and Ceningan Islands. Finally, a bit of shopping and going out in Kuta, Legian, Seminyak or Canggu.

Maldives
This charming island country on the indian It is a 100% paradisiacal destination. It is composed of some 1200 islands, although only just over 200 are inhabited, and its capital is Malé. its climate is tropical wet and although it was a Portuguese, Dutch and British colony, it has been independent since the 60s.
Maldives has experienced a great tourist boom since the arrival and discovery of the Italians. Fearing that they would be invaded and that their culture and environment would be modified, the government ordered a feasibility study to be carried out and based on that they drew up a very successful management model.
The tourist pearls of the Maldives lie precisely in its nature, in the color and clarity of its waters, its aquatic fauna that makes it a premium diving and snorkeling destination, the quality of its hotel infrastructure and that charming being away from the world.
