Monday morning is our favourite time to daydream about a far away paradise…with crystal clear waters teaming with fish, underwater worlds to discover, and sandy beaches to laze around on after all the adventure… ahhh perfection! Here are 8 Little Nuggets of Paradise to start daydreaming about:
Kudahuvadhoo, Central Province, Maldives
…try saying that after a few tropical cocktails! The Maldives is renowned for its idyllic beaches and clear waters – and Kudahuvadhoo is no exception. You can find this mini island nation paradise southwest of Sri Lanka and India, roughly 1000 km from the Asian continent.
El Nido, Philippines
El Nido is located on Palawan Island in the Philippines. It’s pretty famous for its gorgeous beaches, with coral reefs and access to the Bacuit archipelago.

Playa Cala Xarraca, Sant Joan de Labritja, Spain

Take the ferry over to this mini paradise and indulge in the beauty of the nature here.
Nam Co, China
The mountain lake of Namtso or Lake Nam can be found in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. This salt lake sits at an elevation of 4178 m and is the largest in the region.
