Top 10 Travel Destinations for Late 2025:

Where to Go Before Everyone Else Does

If you’ve been dreaming of a trip that feels fresh, unforgettable, and just a little ahead of the curve—you’re not alone. As a travel agent, one of the questions I hear most is:

“Where’s the next place to go—before it gets too crowded (or expensive)?”

Great news: I’ve got the answers.

Here are 10 trending destinations for late 2025 that are capturing attention for all the right reasons—beauty, culture, value, and unique experiences. Whether you're planning a romantic escape, a family adventure, or a solo reboot, there’s something here for you.


1. Slovenia 🇸🇮

Think: fairytale castles, Alpine lakes, and farm-to-table cuisine. Slovenia is Europe’s best-kept secret—with the charm of Switzerland at a fraction of the price.

Why go now: It’s rising on the eco-tourism radar but still under the mainstream radar.


2. Japan (Beyond Tokyo) 🇯🇵

Yes, Tokyo is iconic—but Japan’s lesser-known gems like Kanazawa, Naoshima Island, and the Nakasendo Trail offer immersive, crowd-free experiences.

Why go now: Japan is expanding tourism infrastructure post-Olympics, and fall foliage season is breathtaking.


3. Colombia 🇨🇴

Colombia has shaken off old reputations and stepped into its new identity: colorful cities, Caribbean beaches, and lush coffee regions.

Why go now: It’s affordable, full of flavor, and quickly becoming South America’s rising star.


4. Portugal’s Alentejo Region 🇵🇹

Move over, Algarve. Alentejo is rustic, romantic, and overflowing with vineyards, medieval towns, and golden landscapes.

Why go now: Portugal is hot—Alentejo offers a quieter, more authentic experience just before the masses arrive.


5. Thailand (The Islands Are Back) 🇹🇭

Tourism is bouncing back, and Thailand’s islands are ready for you. Koh Lipe, Koh Yao Noi, and even a quieter Phuket are ideal for late 2025.

Why go now: Budget-friendly luxury + epic scenery = win.


6. Croatia (Off-Season Magic) 🇭🇷

The Dalmatian Coast in September or October is warm, less crowded, and still stunning.

Why go now: You'll get Mediterranean bliss without the summer stampede.


7. South Africa (Wine + Wildlife) 🇿🇦

Cape Town, the Winelands, and a safari? Yes, please. South Africa is ideal for those craving culture, cuisine, and connection to nature.

Why go now: Shoulder season travel offers great value and incredible wildlife sightings.


8. Turkey’s Turquoise Coast 🇹🇷

This stretch of Mediterranean paradise offers sailing, ruins, and small-town charm.

Why go now: Prices are still relatively low, and fall weather is ideal.


9. Canada’s Maritime Provinces 🇨🇦

Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island deliver lighthouses, lobster, and jaw-dropping coastline.

Why go now: Perfect for a coastal road trip without international flight fatigue.


10. Italy’s Puglia Region 🇮🇹

Whitewashed towns, olive groves, and Adriatic beaches. Puglia is soulful, slow, and oh-so photogenic.

Why go now: Still under-the-radar compared to Tuscany or Amalfi—get in before it’s the next "must."
