Pink Granite Coast, Brittany, France The unique colour of these rocks – a range of rosy tones from amber to coral, offset by the crystalline teal of the ocean – is created by an exceptionally rare natural combination of quartz and feldspar. The Pink Granite Coast, with its enchanting palette and amazing formations, runs along more than six miles (10km) of coastline in Brittany.

Zhangye National Geopark, Gansu Province, China The rainbow-hued mountains in Zhangye National Geopark look just like an artist's paint palette. Part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this stunning formation was created by natural erosion, when layers of sand, silt, iron and minerals blended together to create a kaleidoscope of colours. The incredible park appears to have been decorated by Mother Nature herself.

Dubrovnik, Croatia Dubrovnik’s 13th-century old town looks more like an oversized sculpture than a city. From its apricot and honey-hued rooftops to its wide, marble roads, it’s almost too pretty to be true. Thick, immaculately preserved stone walls encompassing the old town are lined with walkways that give clear views in every direction, from hillsides with hotels and houses to the Adriatic Sea.

Angkor Wat, Siem Reap, Cambodia Cambodia's famous lost jungle city is among the most incredible and largest archaeological sites on Earth. The majestic temples and monuments of Angkor were built between the 9th and 14th centuries, when the Khmer civilisation was at the height of its power. The largest and most famous temple in the sprawling complex is the majestic Angkor Wat

Lhasa, Tibet The Holy City, the Place of the Gods, the centre of Tibetan Buddhism – Lhasa has a lot to live up to. But it would be hard not to be moved by the first sight of Potala Palace or the fervour of pilgrims walking the Barkhor circuit around the Jokhang temple in winding, incense-scented alleys. Perhaps it’s the altitude, but Lhasa seems to have something magical about it.

Horseshoe Bay Beach, Bermuda A beach with pink sand sounds pretty dreamy – and, combined with turquoise sea and bright blue skies, it’s easy on the eye too. Bermuda is known for its unique, rose-hued stretches of sand, created by millions of pieces of crushed coral and shells. The wide sweep of Horseshoe Bay is one of the best, with pale pink-gold sand hemmed in by rocky headlands. Explore the bay’s caves by paddleboard or head to a beach bar and watch the sunset while sipping a rum swizzle.

Paradise Bay, Antarctica If ever there was a place with beauty amid the bleakness, it’s this stark landscape at the end of the world. Near the tip of the Antarctic Peninsula, Paradise Bay is rimmed by snowy mountains, with glaciers towering over the steel-blue sea. In this icy dreamland, humans are far outnumbered by penguins, seals and – if you’re lucky to spot them – pods of orcas hunting their dinner.

Acropolis of Athens, Athens, Greece It's almost impossible to take your eyes off the rocky outcrop that looms above the sprawl of Athens and has dominated the city for millennia. The arresting ancient mound has several incredible classical ruins, but the Parthenon on its highest reaches is its most iconic structure. The classical temple, a symbol of the origins of democracy, was built in the 5th century BC and dedicated to the goddess Athena.

Antelope Canyon, Arizona, USA The valleys of Antelope Canyon in Arizona were created over thousands of years by flash flooding, which eroded the sandstone pathways and shaped the distinctive curves you see today. What many don't know is that it's actually two separate slot canyons – Upper Antelope Canyon, or The Crack, and Lower Antelope Canyon, or The Corkscrew – but both make for a mesmerising sight.

Arashiyama Bamboo Grove, Kyoto, Japan Arashiyama Bamboo Grove is one of Kyoto's most enchanting spots and it's easy to see why. The lush green stalks of bamboo rise tall, filtering the light from above and creating a magical atmosphere down below. Part of the Arashiyama district on the western outskirts of Kyoto, it's a nationally designated Historic Site and Place of Scenic Beauty alongside the Moon Crossing Bridge, Tenryu-ji temple and the hamlet of Kiyotaki.

Moai, Easter Island, Chile Far-flung Easter Island – one of the most remote inhabited islands on Earth – is a remarkable place, made even more so by its mysterious moai. These giant stone-carved heads and torsos stand stoically on sites around the volcanic island. It's widely thought, but not known for certain, that they were carved by the Rapa Nui people between the 11th and 14th centuries.

Salar de Uyuni, Potosí, Bolivia Stretching across an immense 4,086 square miles (10,583sq km), Salar De Uyuni is the world’s largest salt flat – and a breathtaking natural mirror. The surface becomes reflective when water floods the plain, making it look as though everything is suspended in the clouds. The dream-like spot is located in Potosí, southwest Bolivia, near the crest of the Andes

Giant's Causeway, County Antrim, Northern Ireland, UK It's hardly surprising that this surreal rock formation on the coast of Antrim in Northern Ireland is steeped in magical legends. The curious, near-perfect hexagonal columns are a marvel of nature. According to folklore, the causeway was built by Irish giant Finn McCool so he could cross over to Scotland to confront his rival Benandonner. However, scientists would have it that the basalt 'steps' were caused by intense volcanic activity some 50 to 60 million years ago.

Munnar, Kerala, India High in the Western Ghats, this hill station and former resort for the upper echelons of the British Raj looks out over lush plantations and mist-covered hilltops. It's dotted by tea estates, which were originally established by the Scottish, and there are plenty of up-to-no-good elephants, which are often spotted (or heard) crashing through the greenery. The region is also famous for the elusive neelakurinji flowers, which only bloom every 12 years. The next event is due to happen in 2030.

Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, Hunan Province, China It's not surprising the subtropical forests, deep ravines and towering sandstone buttes of Zhangjiajie National Forest Park served as the inspiration for the film Avatar. The place most definitely resembles a lost world. This ethereal spot is part of the vast UNESCO World Heritage Site of Wulingyuan Scenic and Historic Interest Area in central China’s Hunan Province, and is home to rare species such as the ginkgo tree as well as unusual primates and birds.

Whitsundays, Queensland, Australia A mesmerising swirl of bright white silica sand and striking azure waters located in the heart of the Great Barrier Reef, the Whitsundays certainly look like paradise on Earth. It’s not hard to see why the 4.3-mile-long (7km) Whitehaven Beach, captured from above in this stunning shot, has been showered with awards and typically attracts visitors from all over the world.

Iguazu Falls, Argentina and Brazil When one waterfall just isn’t enough, there’s Iguazu Falls – the world’s largest waterfall system that certainly makes for one of the most awe-inspiring sights. The chain of cascades, which encompasses more than 270 waterfalls and covers 1.7 miles (2.7km), straddles the border of Brazil and Argentina, and flows in a staircase formation. Its setting, in the heart of a national park thick with rainforest, is equally beguiling.

Galápagos Islands, Ecuador The Galápagos is an isolated group of islands 605 miles (974km) off the west coast of Ecuador. Famous for being the place that inspired naturalist Charles Darwin’s work On the Origin of the Species, the diversity of wildlife here is mind-blowing. The Galápagos is home to over 300 different reptile species and birds such as the blue-footed booby, with 50% of the world’s breeding pairs living here.
