Destinations of the Day
Maldives
  • Resident population: 396,334 Annual visitors: 676,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beach resorts, water sports, coral reefs
  • 11,498 TripAdvisor reviews of 171 accommodations, 16 attractions and 55 restaurants
A cluster of idyllic atolls in the Indian Ocean, about 200 of the Maldives' 1200 islets are inhabited. Another 100 are private resort islands.
Paphos, Cyprus
  • Resident population: 27,000 (est.)
  • Major features: historic buildings, beaches
  • 9,308 TripAdvisor reviews of 410 accommodations, 21 attractions and 79 restaurants
Paphos, the capital of western Cyprus, has some serious historical clout. Site of the vast fourth-century BC Tombs of the Kings, set high on a cliff above the sparkling sea, as well as a dramatic Byzantine castle and fine mosaics, it's also known as the birthplace of the goddess Aphrodite.
Miami Beach, Florida
  • Resident population: 87,925 Annual visitors: 10,000,000 (est.)
  • Major features: nightlife, beaches, shopping, art museums
  • 26,401 TripAdvisor reviews of 363 accommodations, 71 attractions and 403 restaurants
South Beach, or SoBe, is Miami Beach's buzziest bit. The vibrant area, with its pastel-hued buildings, hip nightclubs, trendy shops and see-and-be-seen restaurants, attracts socialites and their satellites year-round.
Acapulco, Mexico
  • Resident population: 616,394 Annual visitors: 5,000,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, water sports, nightlife
  • 4,033 TripAdvisor reviews of 285 accommodations, 68 attractions and 134 restaurants
Mountain views, raucous nightlife and a C-shaped bay with a plethora of beaches make Acapulco a more upscale, yet reasonably priced, escape than its spring-break cousin, Cancun.
Cancun, Mexico
  • Resident population: 526,701 Annual visitors: 3,074,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, nightlife, jungle tours, swimming with dolphins, water sports
  • 53,778 TripAdvisor reviews of 257 accommodations, 96 attractions and 204 restaurants
The name Cancun means "golden snakes," but you won't find any venom in this sun-kissed Yucatan paradise. The most popular destination in Mexico, Cancun beckons with stunning aqua-blue waters and white-sand beaches.
