12. French Polynesia

This South Pacific set of islands is a French overseas country with picturesque lagoons, and white-and-pink-sand beaches. Tahiti is the largest destination, an island with high mountains and breathtaking waterfalls. Other key locales include Bora Bora and the twin islands of Raiatea, the first Polynesian-inhabited islands. In July, the entire country joins together for the Heiva festival celebrating Polynesian culture, with dance competitions, canoe racing, and ceremonial performances.
