Thandwe, Myanmar

Still relatively untouched by tourism, this beach area is filled with quaint fishing vessels, local handicrafts (weaving and clay pottery being the most popular), and pagodas and monasteries. Nearby islands of Zalat Htone, known for its black-sand beaches, and Pearl Island are an essential part of any trip to this gem of a nation.

 

 

 

 

 

Oman

This Persian Gulf nation is complete with pristine beaches, lush green oases, breath-taking mountain springs, and a true glimpse into centuries-old Arabian culture. Architecture buffs will love the 500 castles, forts, and historic buildings spread out over this rich country perched on the south-eastern tip of the Arabian Peninsula.

 

 

 

 

 

The Maldives

Derived from the Sanskrit words mala (garland) and dvipa (island), the Maldives is a double chain of 26 atolls. Male, the country’s capital city, features historic sites such as Hukuru Miskiiy, a mosque built in 1656, and Muleeaage, an early-20th-century palace.

 

 

 

 

 

The Seychelles

Although it comprises 115 islands, the Seychelles has the smallest population of any African nation. That, of course, means miles and miles of pristine, nearly deserted beaches. Its charming capital city, Victoria, located on the island of Mahé, is lined with art galleries, a stunning botanic garden, fascinating temples, and a vibrant market.
