Niue

Niue is a tiny independent nation on a very remote Pacific island. It is located in the middle of Samoa, Tonga, and the Cook Islands, and its name translates as "behold the coconut". This is not a destination for luxury travelers, but for those who aren't afraid to put on their hiking boots and go exploring! Because it's so beautiful, you can also rent a car or motorcycle to get to the best caves and snorkeling spots. Despite its remoteness, there are motels, guesthouses, cottages, and restaurants in the area. The Namukulu Cottages & Spa and the Scenic Matavai Resort Niue are both recommended accommodations on the western coast.

Make a trip to this tiny island to unwind and reconnect with nature. Because of Niue's small size and remote location, you will rarely see other tourists while exploring its limestone caves and natural pools. Furthermore, Niue offers a plethora of opportunities for both land and water-based adventures. Scuba dive, hike to jaw-dropping rock formations, or spend an evening stargazing are all options (the island is a designated International Dark Sky Sanctuary). Niue is also one of the few places in the world where you can swim with wild humpback whales, so plan your trip to coincide with the whales' annual migration, which takes place from July to October.
