#1 - Bora Bora, Tahiti 

Jump into the terquoise lagoon, right from your hut.

Tahiti is the place to be if you are truly in need of some serious R&R. Up till only recently Tahiti's resorts boasted no communications of any kind - rooms didn't even have TVs. These are still around if that's what you'd like, but resorts now are totally 21st Century with all the 5 star amenities you could possibly crave, right at your finger tips. Stay in Bora Bora and see some of the sites made immortal by 1940's movie icons such as Humphrey Bogart. The Island of Bora Bora is simply the most beautiful island in the world. Does it get better than staying in one of these over the water huts, jump in whenever you like. Who needs TV in paradise? I don't!

surffab says:

Mauritius is great, I have been there some years ago.

JohnsInk says:

Bora Bora or Mykonos Island look the most appealing to me.

linkcity says:

I can't wait to get out to Bora Bora.

None of these, I rather go to....

Evelyn_Saenz says:

I couldn't decide. Each one intrigues me. I guess I will have to go on a world tour.

Englishguy says:

The Isle of Skye sounds good to me, too! But probably somewhere in Wales would be my pick. It may not be that exotic for me (since I live in England) but I love so many things about that country. :)

nickupton says:

The Isle of Skye.

However, I usually take my annual vacation in Dartford, Kent. It seems that Kent is more popular than Bora Bora right now!

Broadstairs, Kent, England :) My favorite vacation place! But you selected nice and appealing places for your lens.
