Discover Enchanting Travels’ exciting alternatives to the world’s most popular destinations.
Discovery is one of the greatest joys of travel. The opportunity to find new corners of the world sparks the same sense of wonder you feel in the places you love. Maybe you’ve fallen in love with the charm of Italy’s coast or the cultural rhythm of Japan…but what if there’s a new place that embodies the same magic in a completely different way?
At Enchanting Travels, our experts delight in crafting trips that exceed expectations and reveal destinations that feel both familiar and new. If you love one of the world’s greatest classics and are wondering what’s next, these inspiring alternatives offer a new way to fall in love with travel all over again.
If you like Japan, you will love South Korea
Japan’s harmony of cutting-edge innovation and deep-rooted tradition has long captivated travelers. On the other side of the sea (just over a hundred miles away) South Korea offers a similarly great balance with its rhythm and distinct character. Stroll across Seoul’s sparkling skyline, enter serene temples, and ride high-speed trains through the stunning countryside. In spring, the country is filled with color as cherry blossoms fill the cities and parks in a sight as unforgettable as Japan’s.
From street markets to fine dining, its culinary scene is as bold and refined as its neighbour, and its creative culture – from K-pop to fashion – is shaping trends around the world. For travelers drawn to Japan’s elegance and energy, South Korea promises a fresh take on East Asian allure that combines modern and ancient.
If you love Italy, you will love Croatia
It’s hard to resist Italian romance, but on the other side of the Adriatic Sea, Croatia offers a Mediterranean getaway that feels both familiar and wonderfully new. Historic cities like Dubrovnik and Split are alive with culture, and their cobblestone streets lead to sunny terraces overlooking the sea. Along the Dalmatian Coast, dramatic cliffs, island-filled vistas and turquoise waters evoke the Amalfi Coast and invite days of exciting exploration. With cuisine that offers a taste of Italian influence while retaining its own coastal identity, Croatia delivers La bella vita With a new twist: sophisticated, comfortable and effortlessly beautiful.
If you love Tanzania, you will love Kenya
For travelers who dream of wildlife – sunrise safaris, golden plains, the call of exotic wildlife – Kenya is every bit as enchanting as its southern neighbour. Here, the Big Five roam the Masai Mara, and unique experiences like breakfast with giraffes at the aptly named Giraffe Manor add unforgettable touches. When it’s time to relax, Kenya’s Indian Ocean coast promises white-sand beaches and turquoise waters that rival Zanzibar. The result? A safari and sea adventure combining iconic wildlife, vibrant culture and coastal serenity.
If you love Australia, you will love South Africa
Australia’s vast landscapes, vibrant cities and spirit of adventure have sparked the imagination of travelers from around the world for years. However, South Africa offers the same exciting diversity with its own distinct spirit (and shorter flights from the US and Europe as an added bonus). From Cape Town’s stunning Table Mountain to the rolling vineyards of the Winelands and the wildlife of Kruger National Park, it’s a country that invites exploration at every turn.
You can go surfing or hiking one day, and sipping world-class wine the next. Animal lovers can encounter everything from lions to penguins, and for the truly daring, they can even cage dive with great white sharks. With its mix of untamed nature and sophisticated urban living, South Africa is a destination that matches Australia’s energy while offering its own unique character.
