Across Germany, with a direct line to tomorrow’s trends, the 50 local experts know ahead of everyone else which dream destinations are gaining attention – long before they appear on the radar of the general public. One thing is certain: In 2025, the focus will be on destinations considered hidden gems for discerning explorers – for the most fascinating places in the world reveal themselves to those who are ready to embrace them. From the icy glaciers of Patagonia to the pristine depths of Raja Ampat, a world unfolds that captivates nature lovers.
RAJA AMPAT
When oceans meet in Indonesia
The Raja Ampat archipelago, at the junction of the Pacific and Indian Oceans, is renowned for its pristine nature and exceptional biodiversity. Island hopping takes you through more than 1000 islands, each with its own untouched beauty. In the lagoons of Wayag, you can dive or snorkel in the Equatorial waters – known as the first documented breeding ground for manta rays in Southeast Asia. Diving around Cape Kri, which holds the world record for the most species spotted in a 90-minute dive, is a highlight. Nature enthusiasts can explore cave paintings in the caves of Kabui Bay and hike up Mount Pindito for a spectacular view. Away from the underwater world, whale watching in Kawe and the equatorial starry sky await.
On board the exclusive expedition yacht Aqua Blu, a converted British naval ship by Aqua Expeditions, or the Amandira, a traditional expedition sailing boat from the renowned Aman hotel chain, you’ll be surrounded by the pristine beauty of Raja Ampat.
PATAGONIA
The untamed beauty of the south
Endless expanses, rugged peaks, and nature that moves in its primal form – Patagonia fascinates with a scenery that is both dramatic and poetic. The Torres del Paine National Park rises with its jagged granite towers over deep blue lakes, while the southern ice fields with mighty glaciers dominate the horizon. In the wind-swept steppe, guanacos roam the barren landscape, while condors majestically glide over the Andean ridges.
Off the beaten path, Patagonia reveals a world of contrasts: remote fishing villages, traditional Chilean estates (Estancias), and luxurious lodges that captivate with stylish seclusion and exclusive nature experiences.
Guided expeditions in the Torres del Paine National Park, ice trekking on the glaciers of the Campos de Hielo Norte, or horseback rides with Patagonian gauchos offer an immersive experience of Patagonia's intensity. In the evenings, a fire crackles in a secluded lodge, while the vastness of the landscape reveals a rare silence. Here, true luxury lies in the untouched – a journey to the origins of nature that remains in memory.
Three extraordinary hideaways complete the experience: &Beyond EcoCamp Patagonia offers sustainable glamping in the wilderness – ideal for outdoor fans who want to experience adventure and nature at its purest without sacrificing comfort. Awasi Patagonia (Relais & Châteaux) focuses on privacy of the highest order with 14 exclusive villas, bespoke luxury experiences, and excellent gourmet cuisine – perfect for couples and individualists. Tierra Patagonia combines stylish design with a wellness focus and a spectacular natural backdrop, where luxurious relaxation and breathtaking views become one.
MADAGASCAR
A paradise for explorers
Around 80% of Madagascar’s native animal and plant species are endemic – including the elusive lemurs and the mysterious fossa. Discoveries beyond the ordinary: The Lemur Trekking experience offers an up-close encounter with the unique wildlife. The underwater world dazzles with diving experiences featuring whale sharks, mantas, and turtles. Snorkelling around the islands reveals unparalleled beauty. Away from the well-trodden paths, lemurs like the rare golden-crowned sifaka can be spotted – a paradise for nature photographers.
The monumental baobabs and surreal rock formations of Tsingy Rouge offer extraordinary experiences, while birdwatching along the coast reveals more than 40,000 pairs of the sooty tern nesting – a fascinating natural spectacle from May to September.
Madagascar’s diversity is made uniquely tangible: Miavana by Time + Tide offers secluded high-end luxury on a private island. With private helicopter access, expansive villas, and unique experiences, the paradisiacal accommodation delights honeymooners and VIPs alike. Casual elegance defines Constance Tsarabanjina, where barefoot luxury, all-inclusive comfort, and top-tier water sports combine: no dress code, no televisions – here, a laid-back atmosphere and relaxation are the focus. At Tsara Komba, sustainable eco-luxury merges with boutique charm, regional cuisine with deep-rooted Malagasy culture – providing a retreat for conscious and nature-loving travellers.
