1. The Maldives

4. Kazakhstan
The land of immense landscapes, mountains, and lakes, Kazakhstan is often one of the countries you wouldn’t expect to be on a list of countries to visit.
But this country boasts something for every traveller, from the picturesque Kaindy lake to the Ile-Alatau national park to bizarre, yet beautiful architecture in Nur Sultan.Â
5. Iran
One of the most misunderstood countries in the world, Iran wouldn’t be the first place you would think of as a holiday destination. But once you indulge in the hospitality and delicious foodstuff you will soon realise why this is a must-visit for everyone.

6. Comoros
Between Madagascar and the coast of Mozambique is the volcanic archipelago of Comoros.
Like the Maldives, Comoros is known for its seclusion from the rest of the world, pristine beaches, and clear waters – but also its incredible volcanic lakes and marine parks.Â

Facing the Gulf of Aden, snorkelling is a must-do here with a huge chance of seeing whales and sharks in the winter months.
9. Kosovo
Receiving independence in 2008, Kosovo is one of the newest countries to visit yet there is still plenty to do in the centre of the Balkans.

10. Uzbekistan
The former Soviet Republic of Uzbekistan makes an appearance on the list and for good reason.
The region is famous for its blue tiles mosques, mausoleums, and allusions to the Silk Road trade route cities of Bukhara, Khiva, and Samarkand which have huge madrasas covered with intricately designed tile work, mosaics, and Arabic calligraphy.
