#2 British Virgin Islands
The British Virgin Islands are a collection of 60 unspoiled islands that pack the best of the Caribbean into one convenient destination. Shhh. They like to think of them as nature’s little secrets.

#4 Playa del Carmen, Mexico
You’re going to love Playa del Carmen… everyone does. It’s a beautiful, quiet vacation paradise 45 minutes down the coast from the crowded and overgrown Cancun Mexico. Playa del Carmen is known mainly for white sand beaches, turquoise waters and a laid back vibe. Not too long ago it was a fishing village, that has now become the #1 destination in Mexico.
