Bora Bora, never been anywhere quite like it.

There's a long back road on the Greek island of Simi that I visited a few years ago and it made such an impression on me that I have never forgotten it!.... It is just a baron road with nothing but some very large cactus' periodically as you walk along it, I suppose it is like you would expect a back road in Mexico to be but the peace that I felt walking along that road was almost touchable....... a wonderful walk......

Crossing the Arctic Circle on the Hurtigruten Ferry, with the sun would rise after 9am and set just after 3pm, but was more like a permanent sunset, the waters calm and the quiet deafening. Harsh landscape made beautiful by the snow. Stunning.

The views from Anacapri are stunningly beautiful and the Grand Canyon is breath-taking.

Ring of Kerry in Éire. Absolutely beautiful. The Japanese countryside in the mountains is stunning. There are some magnificent beaches in Australia, and being out in the 'bush' at night is amazing for the night sky alone. It's just incredible.

Closer to home, the Peak District and Cornwall are two of my favourite places to go. Stunning.

Various islands in Fiji about 25 years ago when it was still off the beaten trail for a lot of tourists. Stunning unspoilt beaches.

Also Borneo 10 years ago.

But we love the UK dearly.
The most heartening experience has always been people.
We've seen some totally amazing iconic sights but we've always been heartened and humbled by good people in every country we visited.

It's Politicians, Clerics and Military that bugger it all up for the rest of us.

Philippines, more specifically Palawan or Boracay, some of the cleanest beaches in Philippines, and it looks just like a postcard, blue translucent water that you can see all the fish swimming etc, yellow clean sand, blue sky's, and there was only ever 2/3 people that I could see at any one time, you pretty much had the place to yourself. Taking a boat to the different islands was dirt cheap too.

Koh Samui in Thailand, it's absolutely gorgeous.

At home I would say the Lake District.

That's on our list of things we need to do!

I was in Chernobyl, one of the most amazing places. It was last May, our guide told us this time of year is probably the best. It's not too cold, nor is it too hot. During our two days there's we came across absolutely nobody else, which was awesome. Had the entire city to explore by ourselves. We had Ecotestgroup Geiger counter to measure the radiation level around 'cause there were many dangerous places.

Sadly not, was only there a few hours on a cruise ship visit, but aim to go back and explore more the old town and do the climb...a smaller version of Dubrovnik but so much nicer.

edit @ your edit:

wales is stunning, it`s one of my favourite places, shame it`s so far.

i spent a while in the laurghane area this summer, i`ll definitely be going back there, i quite fancy doing the coastal path too.

Lyford Key, Bahamas. Tiny cove, utterly deserted apart from us and so beautiful it made me cry with happiness just to be there

Gower Peninsula.

But I'd also suggest the below.

Walk between Bolt Tail and Start Point, south Devon. Stunning scenery. You won't regret it. Go to Hope Cove, walk up to Bolt Tail. On the way to Bolt Head you'll pass Soar Mill Cove, where the Herzogin Cecilie was wrecked on the Ham Stone and later towed into Starehole Bay at the entrance of Salcombe Harbour, where the remains of the wreck can be seen to this day at low (spring) tide.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herzogin_Cecilie

When you pass Bolt Head, you'll see Starehole Bay, Sharpitor, South Sands, North Sands, the Poundstone (rock, marked by a beacon, which is also part of the leading lights into Salcombe Harbour), Blackstone (marked by a beacon), the Wolf Rock (marked by a green buoy), Sunny Cove, Millbay Beach, Telegraph Beach (there is an underwater cable there marked by a white triangle), Smalls Cove and Fisherman's Cove.

Cross Salcombe Harbour via the ferry. Maybe have a quick cows in the Ferry Inn. Salcombe lifeboat is moored nearby in the entrance to Batson Creek. It's the Baltic Exchange 3, a Tamar class.

On the way you'll see the beaches above. When you get to Limebury Point, there's a cave there, but access to it from land is difficult. Then on the way to Prawle Point, you'll see Gara Sands, Venericks Cove, Elender cove. Between Prawle Point and Start Point youl'll see Lannacombe Beach and Mattiscombe Sands. At Start Point (lighthouse) (*) you can go further towards Dartmouth on the coast path. You'll see Hallsands (a village destroyed by the sea), Beesands, Torcross/Slapton sands, where there is Slapton Lea (a nature reserve) and the Start Bay Inn. The pub is run by the Stubbs family and they catch some of their own food.

(*) The light has three different coloured light beacons for navigation past the Skerries Bank off Torcross.

This type of scenery was right on my doorstep for the best part of 21 years.
