World’s Best Places to Visit for 2025

Maui

Whether you’re driving along the Road to Hana, enjoying a bird’s-eye view of Maui’s lush coastline on a helicopter tour, snorkeling with sea turtles or simply relaxing on white or black sand beaches, you’ll find that this Hawaiian island is unlike any other tropical destination. Don’t miss a chance to visit Haleakalā National Park, which is home to one of the world’s largest dormant volcanic craters and boasts surreal sunrises. You should also attend a traditional lūʻau for a dose of local culture and a taste of Hawaiian specialties like poi, poke and kālua pig.
