We're going to give you ideas for every type of trip (and budget): from getaways just 1 hour away by plane, to expensive and far-away trips (to beggars' sake...), passing through countries full of medieval castles and others where car routes await you through national parks, canyons and sequoia forests.

7 Best Travel Destinations for Unique Stays in 2025

1. Scotland

With its rolling green hills, medieval castles and mysterious lochs, Scotland is a mind-blowing mix of history and natural beauty that captivates everyone who sets foot there. And what about Edinburgh ? It's one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, with its imposing hilltop castle and the charming old town's cobbled streets.

However, if there is a Scottish place that we want to explore, it is the Highlands, known for their impressive landscapes, full of mountains, lakes and valleys. We have clearly marked on the map Ben Nevis , Eilean Donan Castle , which stands on an island in Loch Duich and is one of the most photographed in Scotland and, of course, Loch Ness , yes, the one with the monster Nessie.

Will 2025 be the year that brings us to Scotland? We hope so!

2. Laos, the best rural destination for 2025

We continue with the best destinations of 2025 with Laos , a small country located in the heart of Southeast Asia . It is perfect for those looking to explore natural landscapes, ancient temples and a culture that preserves its traditions .

You can't miss Luang Prabang , a city declared a World Heritage Site , famous for its Buddhist temples, night market and the impressive Kuang Si waterfalls .

Also not to be missed is Muang Ngoi Neua in the north, a peaceful sleepy village on the banks of the Nam Ou , ideal for unwinding in a calm and natural environment. To the south, the 1000 Islands offer a haven that is still little explored, where travellers can enjoy a serene landscape, sail along the Mekong and explore small islands with local communities.

Take advantage of the fact that Laos is not yet on the radar of most travelers and enjoy its authenticity without the crowds of other Southeast Asian destinations. This is the perfect time to experience an untouched Laos , in its purest and most peaceful version .

3. West Coast of the United States

And from an almost unknown corner to one of the great classics for road trip lovers : the West Coast of the United States.

It is perfect for those seeking adventure, breathtaking landscapes and the possibility of discovering both cosmopolitan cities , such as Los Angeles , San Francisco or Las Vegas , as well as otherworldly natural landscapes... Yosemite , Death Valley , the Grand Canyon or Arches are just some of the stops that you can explore, although the truth is that there are options for all tastes.

If you prefer a more original trip , we recommend you travel the area from San Francisco to Seattle (or vice versa): you will pass by incredible places such as Crater Lake and you will be able to discover every inch of Oregon , one of the most beautiful states in the country.

Whether you go in 2025 or whenever, the West Coast is a sure thing : for us it is one of the best (and most complete) trips there is.

4. Naples and the Amalfi Coast

You don't have to go far to enjoy an unforgettable holiday... just a couple of hours from Spain, we have Naples and the Amalfi Coast , two amazing destinations.

Naples is synonymous with history, passion and flavour . Few Italian cities are as authentic and genuine and you will soon feel at home. After exploring every corner and stuffing yourself with the best pizza in the world , it is time to discover another side of Campania: the Amalfi Coast.

Here it's all about glamour and luxury , with cliff- top villages and breathtaking views. Positano , with its pastel-coloured houses and steep streets, is probably the most famous, but Amalfi , with its majestic cathedral and charming alleys, also has plenty to offer. Plus, Ravello is a must-see destination for history and art lovers, with its stunning villas and panoramic views over the sea.

Got time to spare? Consider a visit to Capri.

5. Namibia, a great destination for 2025

We continue with the best destinations to travel to in 2025 with a country that really catches our attention: Namibia.

This jewel of Southern Africa is a paradise for nature lovers and adventurers . Its desert landscapes , such as those of Sossusvlei , with its imposing red dunes, seem to come from another planet. In addition, the wildlife that inhabits the Etosha National Park will allow you to observe animals in their natural habitat: elephants, lions, rhinos, giraffes and much more.

You can also get close to the Himba ethnic group , who still maintain their traditions, offering a fascinating cultural experience.

As we said, Namibia, with its surreal landscapes and incredible biodiversity , promises to be one of the most surprising and authentic destinations of 2025.

6. Bosnia and Herzegovina

If you are looking for an exotic but not too distant destination for 2025, Bosnia and Herzegovina is an excellent choice. It is one of our favourites in the Balkans and although it is still little explored , it has all the ingredients to delight visitors: rich cultural heritage , impressive natural landscapes , authentic atmosphere , hospitality and very rich gastronomy .

We love Sarajevo , the capital, famous for its mix of Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian and Slavic influences, with its famous Baščaršija Bazaar and the historic Latin Bridge. Don't miss the Vijećnica , the former town hall that now houses a museum, or the colorful mosques that dot the city.

Another must-see city is Mostar , one of the symbols of the Balkan War , with its famous bridge over the Neretva River. You can also explore the incredible Kravica Waterfall , a natural paradise perfect for a hike or a refreshing swim.

7. Greenland, an original destination to travel to in 2025

However, if you want to escape to one of the last (almost) untouched corners of the planet, Greenland is the destination that cannot be missing from your list for 2025.

The first tourist flights to Nuuk International Airport, the capital of Greenland, have recently been inaugurated . Okay, it's not a cheap trip, but if Santa Claus is generous, you might be able to manage 😉

This vast territory, with its impressive polar landscape , offers spectacular fjords , giant glaciers and the opportunity to float among icebergs on boat trips or see the incredible natural phenomenon of the Northern Lights .
