A stunning holiday destination with low crime and cheap beer has been ranked the happiest in the world.
In these troubled times of out of control climate change, and rising energy bills, a trip away somewhere happy is something most people would love.
According to research by tourism operator Club Med, the world’s happiest holiday destination is Bali in Indonesia, the Express reports.
The company's research weighed up factors including crime, safety and pollution, as well as the price of a drink.
The average cost of a beer is £2.45 in Bali while the country also has a huge range of spas and wellness centres.
It’s the perfect holiday destination for Brits who want to get out and enjoy a stunning natural environment, with many high-rated beaches and acres of incredible scenery.
One of Bali’s best-rated beaches on Tripadvisor is Kelingking beach, a cove sheltered by cliffs.
A visitor wrote: “This is a beautiful spot! Great for photos and popular on Instagram.”
Another said: “This is the best part of Bali without a doubt. Your trip to Bali is incomplete if you don’t visit this beach.
“Park your bike, walk until you find a viewpoint and your mind will be blown with the views. Beautiful place.”
The second happiest destination in the world was Las Vegas, which was one of the best ranked destinations for LGBTQ+ tourists and is the perfect place for an adventure.
It might be the world’s top gambling holiday spot but Las Vegas also has plenty to offer nature-loving tourists.
Visitors can explore the nearby desert landscape or take a helicopter ride to admire the region’s scenery. In fact, one writer explored the lesser-known side of Nevada to help you find the best bucket-list worthy experiences.
