The 17 Most Beautiful National Parks in the World, From Yellowstone to the Serengeti

 

For travelers, having a list of designated wonders is also an easy way to know exactly where (and how) to see some of the world’s most incredible forces of nature. That could mean rafting under waterfalls in Argentina, ballooning over fairy chimneys in Türkiye, ice caving in Iceland, or hiking for three days to reach a wildflower-filled valley in India.


There are many thousands of national parks around the world, so the trickiest part is narrowing down the list—but these 17, spanning six continents and encompassing an extraordinary range of scenery, are a good place to start.

Hotel Spotlight

◆San Diego, California◆

Pendry San Diego

 

California-cool meets Big Bear coziness here, with light, airy rooms warmed up by charming blue plaid chairs, thick wooden furniture, and floral wallpapers in various coastal shades. Despite the Pendry San Diego's prime location for Padres fans or first-time visitors looking to be in the mix, the flagship Pendry makes it hard to leave with delicious on-site restaurants and a lounge chair–ringed pool. There are four main dining experiences on-site, and genuinely, all are worth a visit. If you only have time for one dinner, though, make it at Lionfish, where fresh sushi abounds alongside splashy, made-to-be-Instagrammed dishes that are actually worth the hype. This is the kind of hotel you can come back to for a nightcap and find a crowded bar welcoming you in. In the day, decompress with time by the pool or a trip to the spa, where you can book a facial, massage, sound bath, or IV treatment.
