Wish List No. 10: Seaside Apartment with Stunning Ocean Views (Kotor, Montenegro)
Saved on wish lists: 52,964 times
Guests love lounging on the private seaside terrace soaking up the sun. The breathtaking views of Kotor’s two beautiful islands are all in sight, which is why Conde Nast Traveler named this apartment one of Europe’s most popular stays on booking platforms.

Wish List No. 9: Cozy and Charming Palace (Marrakech, Morocco)
Saved on wish lists: 59,838 times
According to guests, the photos of this traditional Moroccan courtyard villa (Riad) are lovely, but “not enough to convey the beauty you feel when stepping into each room.” On your way to the rooftop for mint tea, you’ll walk through an arcade adorned with beautiful tiles.

Wish List No. 8: Home in the Wilderness (Yucca Valley, California, USA)
Saved on wish lists: 63,669 times
This modern desert retreat features floor-to-ceiling glass walls — don’t forget your binoculars. There’s no Wi-Fi here, but you might spot some bouncy rabbits in the evening.

Wish List No. 7: Eco Bamboo Hut Amidst Rice Fields (Ubud, Indonesia)
Saved on wish lists: 65,644 times
Staying in this small bamboo hut, guests are only separated from nature by a mosquito net. But anything thicker would block the view of fireflies twinkling above the rice fields at night.
