Vaadhoo Island
Vaadhoo Island, also known as the “Sea of Stars,” is located in the Raa Atoll of the Maldives. This destination stands out not only for its natural beauty and pristine beaches but also for its rare bioluminescent phytoplankton. At night, countless microscopic organisms light up the shoreline with glowing neon-blue waves, creating the surreal illusion of a starry sky reflected on the ocean.
This enchanting phenomenon has earned Vaadhoo the reputation of being one of the most romantic resorts in the world. The brightest displays usually occur in October and November, while the rest of the year, the island resembles its neighboring paradises — with white sandy beaches, inviting turquoise waters, crystal-clear seas, and vibrant coral reefs perfect for snorkeling and diving.
However, daytime swimming is not recommended during bioluminescent periods due to the potent toxins released by these glowing microorganisms.😇 0 reply

Lake Baikal
The ancient Siberian Lake Baikal overwhelms with its grandeur, beauty, and vast open spaces. Recognized as the deepest lake in the world, it has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its unique ecosystem. The stunning natural landscapes of Baikal can be enjoyed year-round—the climate in this region of Eastern Siberia is mild enough for exciting trips and outdoor walks. One of the most popular tourist destinations is the village of Listvyanka, from where many excursions depart to the area’s most remarkable sights. Among the top attractions are the Barguzin and Chivyrku Bays, the Shaman Rock, the Holy Nose Peninsula, Olkhon Island, and the waters of the Small Sea. For lovers of active recreation, there are horseback rides, skiing, lake cruises, and hikes along the Great Baikal Trail (GBT)—a network of ecological paths that offer breathtaking views of this unique region. 0 reply
