Destinations of the Day
Aruba
  • Resident population: 103,065 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, water sports, casinos
  • 11,639 TripAdvisor reviews of 119 accommodations, 143 attractions and 125 restaurants
A beach-lover's paradise, this Caribbean island's interior boasts desert, but the coasts are filled with picture-perfect, powdery white sand and tranquil sapphire waters.
Maui, Hawaii
  • Resident population: 117,644 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, hiking, water sports
  • 32,269 TripAdvisor reviews of 735 accommodations, 272 attractions and 535 restaurants
If watching the sunrise from atop a 10,000-foot volcano, swimming under waterfalls, hiking through craters and luxuriating on white-, red- and even black-sand beaches sounds like paradise, then Maui awaits.
Corfu, Greece
  • Resident population: 109,512 Annual visitors: 1,000,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, archaeological sites, architecture
  • 7,859 TripAdvisor reviews of 748 accommodations, 25 attractions and 53 restaurants
Corfu refers to both the island and to its main town. Villages of whitewashed houses confetti the sunny isle, two to 15 miles off the Albanian coast.
Benidorm, Spain
  • Resident population: 66,902 Annual visitors: 2,457,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, nightlife, theme parks
  • 9,794 TripAdvisor reviews of 301 accommodations, 16 attractions and 186 restaurants
Bask on four miles of golden beaches, hit the Mediterranean Sea on water skis or stroll along Benidorm's promenade and revel in its seaside charms; it's a true Spanish beauty of the Costa Blanca.
Acapulco, Mexico
  • Resident population: 616,394 Annual visitors: 5,000,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, water sports, nightlife
  • 3,957 TripAdvisor reviews of 207 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.
