Nature-focused travel is on the rise as travelers look to escape the stresses of everyday life. For those looking to embark on a nature adventure, here is a list of destinations and resorts around the world offering outdoor activities and stunning landscapes.

Sitting in the green hills of Carmel Valley, The Quail offers lush grounds and a nature-centric atmosphere perfect for sightseeing, outdoor walks and fresh air. Guests can catch a glimpse of the resort’s seasonal flora and fauna throughout their stay or during a self-guided birdwatching tour. The resort is also located near Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, offering a variety of hiking trails for all levels of experience and 17 Mile Drive, a scenic road in Pebble Beach with ocean views and the popular attraction The Lone Cypress. Set out on the ultimate adventure with an off-roading trip with Land Rover Experience Driving School. Travelers ride with a qualified instructor as they make steep descents down a two-track rail, climb piles of logs and navigate tight turns.

Just off the southwest coast of Vietnam, Regent Phu Quoc offers jungle and ocean adventures immersing travelers into the destination’s natural environments. Spend the day soaking up the sun on the blue waters while body boarding, dinghy sailing, kayaking, windsurfing or stand-up paddle boarding. Travelers who would rather stay on land can go on an afternoon trek through Tien Son Hilltop and the lush jungles of northwest Phu Quoc island to conquer a set of steep wooden ladders. Or get a birds-eye view of the turquoise sea and green jungle while riding Hon Thom Phu Quoc Cable Car, the longest in the world. For the ultimate luxury excursion, book a ride on the resort’s private catamaran, Serenity.

New Regent Bali Canggu offers the perfect escape for outdoor adventurers who prefer beaches over mountains. The property sits near an unrivaled beach where guests can ride the waves of Pantai Batu Boloong during a surf lesson from the certified instructors at Rip Curl School of Surf. Travelers can also stay on shore and check out the Private Cart Tour in Jatiluwih, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The tour is led by local guides who take travelers through the stunning terraced rice paddies, explain the deep-rooted cultural legacy and educate travelers on the intricacies of the age-old Suubak irrigation system.

Sep 17, 2026High-Spirited Hong Kong: The Dynamic Hub Embraces Its Maritime History and Culture
It was known as the “Kai Tak heart attack” — the thrilling, terrifying final approach into Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport. Airliners were required to bank sharply at the last moment, dodging hills and apartment blocks to line up with a runway jutting out into Kowloon Bay. The airport is long gone, but international visitors are arriving at Kai Tak again, albeit more sedately. Their cruise ships dock smoothly at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, a modern gateway designed by Sir Norman Foster.
