Bali, Indonesia

Bali’s rice terraces cascade down volcanic slopes, Hindu temples wrap in jungle, and Tanah Lot sunsets secure its spot despite overtourism. With 6 million annual visitors, it draws 40% more tourists than #2 Santorini, yet its 1.5 million hectares of green space keep it serene. The island’s 20,000 temples, including Uluwatu’s 70-meter cliffs, make it cheaper than the typical rival in Southeast Asia.
