Discover Asia

This far-flung destination, which is located miles from civilization in the Indian Ocean, is made up of about 1,200 islands that provide an idyllic atmosphere that's pretty much paradise. The islands of the Maldives feature lush tropical landscapes, unparalleled white sand beaches, crystal-clear ocean waters and coral reefs that prompt extensive exploration. The best way to experience this slice of paradise? In one of its many overwater bungalows, of course!

There's no dilly-dallying here – Tokyo is as fast-paced as cities come (it's one of the largest cities in the world, after all). With millions upon millions of residents to its name, Tokyo features flashing lights and insanely crowded streets that novice visitors may have a hard time keeping up with. But travelers should accept the challenge and enjoy Tokyo's exhilarating energy and unrivaled shopping scene, not to mention its delicious, fresh sushi.

Bali's natural beauty is so profound, travelers have been known to refer to the Indonesian destination as "heaven on Earth." Here, lush rainforests, picturesque mountains, sweeping valleys and scenic beaches all sit side by side. You'll also find a handful of serene temples – including Uluwatu and Tanah Lot temples – and you can't miss out on a trip to Ubud, Bali's cultural capital and home of the region's famous rice terraces.
