The 333 gorgeous tropical islands that make up Fiji, in the heart of the South Pacific, offer an abundance of palm tree-lined white sandy beaches, deep blue waters and colourful soft coral reefs containing more than 1500 species of fish. With a landscape of thick greenery teeming with wildlife, the archipelago is heaven for hikers and birdwatchers and a leader in eco-tourism – but one that offers exciting nightlife as well as plenty of tranquillity. Much of the population lives on the two largest islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, and it’s on these two that most of Fiji’s best accommodation can be found. It varies from inexpensive hostels to the most luxurious resorts… even the option to book a whole island for yourself.

It’s time to don some practical clothing, slip on your hiking boots, and prep some mid-trek snacks – Yosemite National Park is calling. One of the most spectacular areas of natural beauty in the entire US of A, Yosemite has everything from glaciers and waterfalls to vast lakes and eerie giant sequoia groves. Whether you’re a nature-mad adventurer or simply a curious explorer, the California park is an essential bucket list stop. When visiting Yosemite, there are quite a few options for accommodation, from glamorous hotels and cozy cabins to back-to-basics camping.

As the seasons change, we all get that itch to escape the city's hustle and bustle. Thoughts of piers, fairgrounds, cosy country pubs, magnificent seafood, and endless shopping sprees fill our heads.

Often considered less cosmopolitan than Berlin and much more chilled than Hamburg, some would (unjustly) disregard Munich as a worthwhile destination. How wrong they are!

In other words, thoroughly worth a visit (or a few). If you’re after an affordable place to stay while you're here, an Airbnb should stand you in better stead than a hotel or B&B. And lucky for you, we’ve done the traipsing already. Check out our faves from the amongst the best Airbnbs Munich has to offer.
