It's hard to believe you can actually stay in this historic villa in southern Italy's countryside. Float along among the trees in this expansive pool, then take a leisurely afternoon nap inside the cool, stone-walled bedrooms (there are three, two with doubles and one with a queen, and three bathrooms). There's a solarium and garden to check out, too, plus a cheery yellow lounge in a shaded part of the backyard.

This stunning two-bedroom villa in La Punta has a pool with an indoor-outdoor design you need to see to believe. It has a slanted roof that allows guests to enjoy the gardens, sunsets, and picturesque pool area whether they're inside or outside. It's a five minute walk to the beach, restaurants, bars, and local coffeeshops. Plus, it's only a 20-minute taxi ride from the Puerto Escondido airport so it's conveniently located for travelers.

Ah, the elusive Northern Lights. So many factors are at play when it comes to seeing the technicolor phenomenon—location, time of year, weather conditions—but it's hard to lose with an excursion to Finnish Lapland. The Arctic area is one of the planet's best for lights viewing, especially if you get to sleep in an igloo hotel at Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort or mobile Aurora Bubble Sled. Up your viewing chances by planning a trip between December and March.

Going on safari in Africa is a no-brainer when it comes to seeking adventure, but where exactly do you start? Botswana's Okavango Delta is a must for first-timers and experienced safari-goers alike, thanks to its wealth of wildlife and topographical diversity. Hop on a mokoro canoe for the best, most intimate look at the roaming elephants, antelope, and cheetahs, among others. Stay at Xigera Safari Lodge, one of the most anticipated recent openings on the continent. You can expect 12 new elevated suites, a baobab tree house for sleeping under the stars, and tons of measures to make the property as eco-friendly as possible.

Mount Everest looms large, known around the world by hikers and non-hikers alike. But this is one behemoth that is best left to truly experienced travelers. According to alpinist Adrian Ballinger, who attempted the climb in 2016, “You need to climb at least three 20,000 peaks, one 23,000 peak, and one 26,000 peak before considering Everest.” But hey, if you're one of the lucky few who has the experience, time, and funds needed to reach Everest's summit, then by all means, do it. This year's climbing season (March to May) has already ended, but you'll need that extra year to prepare anyway.
