The 24 Most Beautiful Island Beaches in the World

The globe is dotted with millions of beautiful destinations worth seeing (well, that's more of a ballpark estimate). And while it might be near impossible to visit all the world's wonders in this lifetime, it's worth narrowing down a travel bucket list to dream about and strive for. And even that's easier said than done since there are so many buzzy destinations to consider, ranging from quiet beachside hideaways to historic Medieval cities, modern meccas, and outdoor adventure parks.
To help you come up with your own travel bucket list, we curated a collection of the 24 most visually arresting places on the planet, though they look like otherworldly settings. Some of these may be in your own backyard, while others are far away, but each is worth traveling to or at least worth replacing your current screensavers (to make it happen, we recommend printing these out and hanging them near your desk as daily motivation).
