5) Sumba, Indonesia

This off-the-beaten-path gem is, surprisingly, only an hour’s flight from Bali’s major tourist destination. It has thus far avoided the madness of Eat-Pray-Love visitors that flood its more well-known neighbor.
However, Sumba may not be off the beaten path for much longer. The travel business is beginning to develop due to the presence of a small number of pioneers in hospitality and social activists who care about the island.
The good news is that this growth has resulted in greater prosperity for a very impoverished and underserved community. The danger is that the rich Sumbanese culture will be destroyed by tourism. Fortunately, you can visit this up-and-coming island with an appreciation of the local way of life while staying mindful and respectful.
