Fiji | COMO Laucala Island
If your travel advisor asks, “Would you like another country with that?” the answer is yes. It’s a great opportunity to discover more while you’re in a new region. Once you’ve taken a long-haul flight, adding a few days in a nearby destination is one of the smartest (and most exciting) ways to elevate your trip. Not to mention, the stories you’ll tell when you come home are so much more exotic.

Imagine strolling the alleys and bridges of Venice. Sipping a Bellini in Harry’s Bar (where it was invented), admiring the beauty of the Doge Palace on an early access tour, and zipping between islands on the local “bus” – the vaporetto ferries. After a few days wrapped in Venetian charm, hop a short flight to northern Croatia.
Here, lakes and forests spill into vineyard country, a fresh change of scenery. Spending time in the beach towns of Krk Island with views of the deep blue Adriatic, Roman ruins, and 15th-century architecture makes it more than just a pretty place to fly and flop.

Is Oceania calling? Come for New Zealand’s cinematic landscapes; volcanoes, fjords, vineyards, and coastal wonders, then drift into the romantic cultural destinations of Fiji or French Polynesia for clear waters and sandy beaches (white or black sand, your choice!). Cruise through the islands, swim in crystalline lagoons, and explore quiet cultural villages.

Venture to the end of the world. Discover the rugged peaks, jaw-dropping lakes, and wind-whipped glaciers of Patagonia, which are easily seen even to non-hikers on driving and boat tours. From there, a short flight to Chile’s Rapa Nui/Easter Island to gape at one of the world’s greatest mysteries: the monolithic moai statues. How great would the selfies be?
Or consider this perfect duo: Sri Lanka and the Maldives. Spend your days surfing its legendary breaks, searching for wildlife in lush national parks, and soaking in the island’s colonial heritage. Then trade adventure for tranquility with the “I-can’t-believe-this-is-my-life” opulence of an overwater bungalow in the Maldives.
