Dubai, United Arab Emirates
  • Resident population: 1,422,000 Annual visitors: 6,120,000 (est.)
  • Major features: shopping, historic sites, beaches, nightlife, golf courses
  • 16,634 TripAdvisor reviews of 495 accommodations, 73 attractions and 383 restaurants
With its ultramodern skyline, it's easy to forget that Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates, was once a small town of Bedouin traders.

  • Resident population: 183,126 (est.)
  • Major features: beaches, nightlife, boating, shopping
  • 14,335 TripAdvisor reviews of 214 accommodations, 92 attractions and 602 restaurants
This canal-laced city is a far cry from its spring break party image of the past. Following renovation and renewal, upscale stores and restaurants have replaced fast-food stands and T-shirt shops.
Key West, Florida
  • Resident population: 22,364 (est.)
  • Major features: water sports, beaches
  • 25,161 TripAdvisor reviews of 678 accommodations, 156 attractions and 216 restaurants
Where else are Ernest Hemingway and Jimmy Buffett equally revered? Key West is a sunny, fun destination with enough sights to keep you busy when you're not snorkeling, parasailing or catching some rays.
Dominican Republic
  • Resident population: 9,650,054 Annual visitors: 3,980,000 (est.)
  • Major features: beach resorts, ecotourism

  • Major features: historic buildings, beaches
  • 9,309 TripAdvisor reviews of 411 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.
