Imagine the soft murmur of the ocean, the rustle of leaves in a breeze that seems to pause time itself. In a world that never stops, some places invite you to press pause and do nothing at all. These hidden sanctuaries offer more than just a break—they promise the kind of transformation only found in stillness.
Whether it’s the quiet hum of nature or the chance to simply watch the sky change, these destinations offer a rare opportunity to disconnect and rediscover what it means to truly relax. Ready for a reset? The journey to the perfect “do nothing” vacation starts here.
1. Tuscany, Italy
It’s one of those places where you feel the pace of life slow down the moment you leave the motorway and drop into a quiet village. Think cypress‑lined roads, vineyards glowing amber in the evening sun, a stone farmhouse you might rent for a week with a glass of Chianti by your side. The scenery almost demands you do nothing: just sit, watch, breathe.
It also has real numbers behind the dreamy image. In 2024, the region recorded over 46.8 million overnight stays and around 15.1 million arrivals, with more than 26.6 million of the overnight stays by foreign visitors. That tells you the region is very much visited—but with so many villages and countryside to spread out into, you can still find pockets of calm if you go off the beaten path. A recent piece points out that growth is driven by non‑European tourists (up +17.5% from 2023 to 2024) so things are shifting.
Key Practical Info
- Peak / Off‑peak seasons & weather – June to August is high season: hot (30 °C+ in places), crowded. Shoulder seasons (April‑May, September) are golden for fewer people + still good weather.
- Best ways to reach & explore – Fly into Florence (FLR) or Pisa (PSA) or even Bologna, then rent a car for countryside freedom. Public transport works for towns, but car gives those “quiet village” options.
- Ideal duration – 5–7 days is good if you want to really slow down. Maybe 10 if you cover several towns and countryside.
- Must‑try local experiences – Stay in an agriturismo, visit a vineyard for a slow tasting, lunch in a hill‑town while people‑watching, evening walk under cypress trees.
- Budget considerations – Countryside stays cost less than the major tourist towns; eating local osterias is more affordable than trendier city spots. Avoid luxury resorts if your goal is simple peace.
- Cultural etiquette tips – Italians appreciate small courtesies: learn a few words (“buongiorno”, “grazie”), dress neatly when going into churches or historic towns.
- Photography opportunities – Golden‑hour shots of vineyards, cypress silhouettes, hill‑town rooftops. If you wake early you’ll catch misty valleys that feel like a painting.
- Balance tip – Choose one popular site (say Florence for an afternoon) then spend the rest in a small village where you do nothing.
2. Provence (region of France)
That word often brings up images of lavender fields, terracotta roofs and sunlight that just lingers. For a do‑nothing break, it’s hard to beat. The rhythm is slower than some other French regions. You know that moment when you’re sitting at a café, no rush, sun on your face? This is it.
In terms of data, France had a record year in 2024 for international tourism over 100 million international visitors, generating around €71 billion in revenue (+12% year‑on‑year) per the French ministry. While those numbers are country‑wide, the region of Provence‑Alpes‑Côte d’Azur (which includes Provence) is one of France’s leading tourism zones. For our JOMO trip that means: yes, popular—but still big enough that you can find quiet corners and slow lanes.
Key Practical Info
- Peak / Off‑peak seasons & weather – Summer is busy. Shoulder seasons (May‑June, September) give you warm days (25–28 °C) with fewer tourists. Late spring sees wildflowers; autumn brings vineyard harvest energy.
- Best ways to reach & explore – Fly into Marseille or Nice, then rent a car or use regional trains/buses to small towns. Driving gives best freedom.
- Ideal duration – 4–6 days sufficient if you pick one base village/area and don’t rush.
- Must‑try local experiences – Sip a chilled rosé at sunset, wander a Sunday market in a hill‑village, cycle or drive a lavender route (if in season), slow lunch with local produce and conversation.
- Budget considerations – Cost varies widely: coastal glam is expensive, inland villages less so. You can splurge one night and keep the rest modest for balance.
- Cultural etiquette tips – The French value politeness: greet with “Bonjour” then “Merci”. In small towns you’ll stand out if you pop in late without greeting.
- Photography opportunities – Lavender fields (if seasonal), vineyard rows, village rooftops, golden light on limestone hills. Aim for sunrise/early morning for emptier scenes.
- Balance tip – Maybe pick one busier coastal day if you feel like it, but return happily to your quiet base each evening.
3. Lake Bled, Slovenia
Lake Bled in Slovenia. If you haven’t heard of it (or heard of it but haven’t been), think of a small glacial lake with a fairy‑tale church on an island, a hilltop castle overlooking it, and mountains gently rising behind. The kind of place you could sit on a lakeside bench and let time tick by.
In 2024, the municipality recorded 481,035 tourist arrivals (an increase of ~8.9% over 2023) and about 1,150,582 overnight stays, up ~6.3% over 2023. Slovenia as a country welcomed 6.58 million visitors in 2024, up 6.3% year‑on‑year, generating 16.85 million overnight stays. What I love about this is: Lake Bled is popular but small enough that you won’t feel swallowed by crowd—especially if you pick times and spots wisely.
Key Practical Info
- Peak / Off‑peak seasons & weather – Summer (June–August) sees most visitors, daily highs ~23 °C. Shoulder seasons (April–May, September–October) are cooler but quieter and lovely.
- Best ways to reach & explore – Fly to Ljubljana (about 35‑40 min drive), then drive or bus to Bled. Once there, lake‑edge walks are 6 km and very manageable; for quietness stay on far side of lake from main hotels.
- Ideal duration – 3–4 days gives you time to relax, wander, take one day trip if you like.
- Must‑try local experiences – Row to the island church, have the traditional Bled cream cake at a lake‑edge café, sunset walk, perhaps a spa moment with mountain view.
- Budget considerations – Slovenia is more affordable than many Western‑European spots; guesthouses in Bled offer good value if booked ahead.
- Cultural etiquette tips – Slovenians appreciate quiet respect for nature. If you hike, stay on marked trails. Speaking a few words (“Dober dan” = good day) goes a long way.
- Photography opportunities – Sunrise or early morning for mist over the water, church on lake, castle above. Evening reflections. Choose vantage points on west side of lake.
- Balance tip – You might pick one morning boat ride or castle visit, then the rest of the time simply sit by the lake, read, watch ducks, and relax.
4. Faroe Islands (Denmark)
The Faroe Islands. A rugged archipelago of 18 islands in the North Atlantic, part of the Kingdom of Denmark, with about 54,000 inhabitants and low population density (~39 people per km²) as of 2024.you go there to slow down, to be among wind‑shaped hills, remote valleys, tiny villages perched above the sea. You’re not trying to tick 30 museums.
the islands received ~130,000 visitors in 2023, and sustain efforts to control growth and environmental impact. The fact that they’re actively managing tourism (closing some popular sites for maintenance weekends, for instance) tells you this is a place that values calm and authenticity. So if you choose this for your JOMO vacation, you’re opting for solitude, nature and reflection.
Key Practical Info
- Peak / Off‑peak seasons & weather – Main visitor season is May‑September when weather is milder (but still changeable). Even then, expect sudden wind, rain, fog. Stay flexible.
- Best ways to reach & explore – Fly into the main airport (Vágar) then rent a car (tunnels connect islands) or use bus/ferries. Driving gives more flexibility and access to quiet spots.
- Ideal duration – 5–7 days gives you time to explore multiple islands without rushing.
- Must‑try local experiences – Walk to a remote viewpoint, stay in a small village guesthouse, try Faroese lamb or fish in a simple tavern, watch for Atlantic light & sea cliffs.
- Budget considerations – The Faroes are not ultra‑cheap: remote logistics add cost, but you save by staying outside major tourist hubs and cooking some meals.
- Cultural etiquette tips – Respect local nature and sheep (they’re everywhere). Driving single‑track roads requires caution. Also ask permission before photographing people in villages.
- Photography opportunities – Dramatic cliffs, sea stacks, grassy hills meeting sea, turf‑roof houses, the light after rain. Early morning/late evening bring vibrant skies.
- Balance tip – You might schedule one more “active” outing (hike a known trail) but schedule the rest of your days unplanned: wander, sit, watch, rest.
5. Scottish Highlands, Scotland
the Scottish Highlands. If you’ve ever wanted a place where you can feel wildness, solitude, and stretch out in nature while still being comfortable, this is it. The Highlands combine sweeping landscapes—lochs, hills, forests—with charming villages, sometimes a whisky distillery nearby, and enough infrastructure for a relaxed trip. You can be alone on a road for 15 minutes and then pop into a small café for soup and tea.
in 2024 the Highlands region recorded 1.79 million overnight tourism visits and an overnight tourism spend of £756 million. Nationally, Scotland in 2023 had 4 million international visits, 34.4 million nights and spend of £3,593 million. So the Highlands are a major part of the “quiet luxury” of nature tourism in the UK, but because of size and geography you’ll still find serenity.
Key Practical Info
- Peak / Off‑peak seasons & weather – Summer offers longer daylight, but also more visitors. Spring (April–May) and autumn (September) are brilliant for quieter stays, changing colours, crisp air. Rain and wind are always possible—pack layers.
- Best ways to reach & explore – Fly into Inverness or Glasgow, rent a car to explore. Some train/bus routes exist but car gives best freedom for remote spots. Single‑track roads are common—go slow.
- Ideal duration – 4–6 days minimum; 7–10 days if you want to explore more remote areas or island extensions.
- Must‑try local experiences – Walk a loch‑side trail, visit a whisky distillery (or just drink one while looking at hills), stay in a cottage, drive a scenic route, maybe spot red deer at dawn.
- Budget considerations – Accommodation outside major towns tends to be more affordable. Self‑catering helps. Driving adds cost (fuel, rental) but shares if in group.
- Cultural etiquette tips – Respect the “right to roam” but stick to paths where advised. In small pubs respect local traditions. Simple greeting and a smile go far.
- Photography opportunities – Early morning lochs reflecting hills, mist in valleys, twilight after rain, remote cottages, dramatic skies. Look for foreground interest (a fence, wildflower) and expansive background.
- Balance tip – You might pick a “destination” day (castle, village) but most days plan nothing: leave the itinerary blank and sit with whatever unfolds.
6. Aoraki/Mount Cook Region, New Zealand
If you’re seeking silence so deep that it feels like nature’s embrace, Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park is where you’ll find it. This isn’t just about towering peaks and alpine lakes (though you’ll get plenty of that), it’s about immersing yourself in one of the world’s most tranquil environments.
While famous for the mighty Mount Cook, it’s the Mackenzie Basin that steals the show for a “do-nothing” trip. You can settle into a cozy lodge or even a remote glamping site, surrounded by the majestic Southern Alps, and simply watch the sky change hues throughout the day. The isolation of this place is what gives it its magic—it’s so vast and quiet that even the most seasoned travelers are often caught off guard by how profoundly relaxing it can be.
Key Practical Info
- Peak / Off-peak seasons & weather – Best in the summer months (December‑February), with temperatures around 20°C. However, the cooler seasons (May–October) offer solitude without the summer crowds, but expect snow.
- Best ways to reach & explore – Fly into Christchurch, then take a scenic road trip (4–5 hours). You’ll need a car to get to the more remote spots.
- Ideal duration – 4 days will suffice for some peaceful stargazing, hikes, and just soaking in the views.
- Must-try local experiences – Visit the Church of the Good Shepherd at sunrise, take a glacier-viewing flight, enjoy a night sky that’s part of the Aoraki Mackenzie International Dark Sky Reserve.
- Budget considerations – Options range from budget camping to luxury lodges. The more remote you go, the fewer amenities, but the peace and views are worth it.
- Cultural etiquette tips – Respect Māori traditions and their deep connection to the land, especially around sacred sites like Aoraki (Mount Cook).
- Photography opportunities – Try capturing the Milky Way against the snowy peaks or an early morning reflection in the crystal-clear Lake Pukaki.
7. Koh Kood, Thailand
Sometimes, the less explored places are the ones that truly let you breathe, and Koh Kood is one of those islands. It’s Thailand’s fourth-largest island, but it often feels like a secret waiting to be discovered. There are no bustling markets here, no loud party scenes—just soft sand, swaying palms, and the gentle hum of the waves.
Koh Kood is slow life defined. Spend your days drifting between beaches and jungle trails or simply lounging in a hammock under the shade of coconut trees. The magic of Koh Kood is in its simplicity—stay in a rustic bungalow by the beach and watch the world go by. The island’s low-key vibe offers that elusive JOMO feeling, where you’re not doing anything, but somehow everything feels deeply fulfilling.
Key Practical Info
- Peak / Off-peak seasons & weather – The best time to visit is between November and March, when it’s dry and pleasant (around 28°C). The rainy season (June–October) means fewer tourists, but you’ll get some rain.

- Ideal duration – 5–7 days allows you to unwind properly, disconnect from the world, and explore some quiet beaches.
- Must-try local experiences – Snorkel in crystal-clear waters, visit Ao Noi Beach for its peaceful charm, enjoy freshly caught seafood by the beach, and take a boat trip to nearby Koh Mak.
- Budget considerations – Koh Kood is more affordable than its tourist-heavy counterparts like Phuket. You can find bungalow-style stays for a reasonable price, though luxury resorts are available.
- Cultural etiquette tips – Like most Thai locations, dress modestly when visiting temples, and always greet with a wai (a slight bow with hands pressed together).
- Photography opportunities – The emerald waters, secluded beaches, and golden sunsets over the ocean are just waiting for you to snap the perfect shot.
8. Comporta, Portugal
Comporta may not be on every tourist’s radar, but that’s exactly what makes it perfect for those seeking a JOMO experience. It’s a beach town for those who crave peace, and it sits on the Alentejo Coast, a region known for its undeveloped, pristine beaches. It’s a place where you can lose yourself in golden sand dunes, or walk along untouched shores, and find nothing but the sound of the waves breaking against the shore.
while Comporta is primarily known for its tranquil coastline, it’s also become a haven for the culturally curious. The town’s local cork factories, art galleries, and stylish, eco-friendly villas provide a relaxed, but elevated, vacation experience. Take a day to explore the vineyards or visit the Comporta village market for a dose of local life. It’s unassuming yet surprisingly vibrant in its quiet elegance.
Key Practical Info

- Budget considerations – Comporta has a range of options, from stylish boutique hotels to luxury beach resorts. Staying in a villa or an eco-lodge can be affordable if you book early.
- Cultural etiquette tips – Portugal is friendly, and a small gift of wine or local food is a great gesture if invited into someone’s home.
- Photography opportunities – Capture wide-angle shots of the endless coastline, dramatic sunsets, or rustic village life.
9. Tofino, British Columbia, Canada
For a more rugged yet soul-soothing experience, Tofino on Vancouver Island offers the ultimate solitude. This small town on the west coast of Canada is nestled between the Pacific Ocean and lush temperate rainforests, offering a rare combination of coastal adventure and ultimate relaxation.
One of the most underappreciated aspects of Tofino? The wild, weather-driven rhythm of the area. Even when it rains (which it often does), it’s not a hindrance—it’s part of the experience. The mist rolling off the ocean, the sound of waves crashing against the shore, and the fog that wraps around towering trees create an atmosphere of quiet awe that feels like it belongs in another world. Just don’t expect a “busy” town here—this is a place where you’re invited to slow down.

While Bali gets all the attention, Lombok offers something more serene and less explored. Known for its stunning beaches and the iconic Mount Rinjani, Lombok feels like a quiet cousin to its busy neighbor. It’s perfect for those who want to kick back without the crowd.
On top of the beaches, Lombok’s charm lies in its under-the-radar feel. Go to Senggigi Beach for gorgeous sunsets, explore Gili Islands for world-class snorkeling and diving, or take a simple motorbike ride to secluded spots where you can stay in beachfront bungalows and hardly see another soul. Lombok offers something for everyone: the adventurer, the seeker of peace, and even the one who wants to do absolutely nothing.

Luang Prabang is a sleepy town that moves at its own pace.

It’s the kind of place where you can lose track of time just walking along quiet streets, past monks collecting alms in the early morning mist.
Stay in a riverside guesthouse where you can watch both the Mekong River and the Nam Khan River meet. It’s tranquil, and the views during sunset are magical, a perfect end to a relaxed day. Wander through the Night Market, but avoid the crowds by going in the early evening when it’s still calm.

It’s popular with Indian travelers, but international tourists haven’t overrun it yet.
