4 – The most like paradise: Anse Source d’Argent, Seychelles

La-digue

The high point of a day at Anse Source d’Argent: the pink tints which appear, little by little, when the sun sets on the horizon.

5 – The most well-preserved: Fakarava, France

Fakarava

Fakarava is a small atoll winding its way in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. A strip of white sand listed as a “biosphere reserve” by UNESCO, found 450 km north-east of Tahiti.
