From tiny fjord villages to bougainvillea-covered alleys, the world's most beautiful villages of 2025 have just been announced, including one in Vietnam.

Boats glide gently across Lake Hallstatt, incense curls through jungle temples in Bali, and waterfalls roar into the Atlantic, the most beautiful villages of 2025 are quiet but captivating. To explore this peaceful picture, Unforgettable Travel Company, a company that organizes trips far beyond the usual tourist routes, has selected the 50 most beautiful villages in the world for 2025.

Here are the top 10 and the villages in Vietnam on the list, according to Forbes:

1.Bibury, England

Nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds, Bibury spreads out like a watercolour dream – where glossy oil-painted houses line Arlington Row; moss-covered roofs whisper the story of 14th-century weavers. The River Coln flows gently here – weaving through golden buttercups and forget-me-nots, while plump ducks swim leisurely under willows... PHOTO: GETTY

2.Hallstatt, Austria

Nestled between green peaks and sparkling Lake Hallstatt, this Austrian village is like a fairytale mirror image – where centuries-old wooden houses cling to steep slopes and boxy balconies are filled with crimson geraniums. PHOTO: GETTY

3.Reine, Norway

Nestled under jagged peaks and bathed in Arctic light, Reine resembles a scattering of rubies on slate. Crimson fishermen’s huts perch along the shores of the bay, as melting snow weaves through purple lupines and silvery seaweed. PHOTO: GETTY

4.Giethoorn, Netherlands

Gliding through the underground waterways of Overijssel, Giethoorn sparkles like a well-kept secret of the Dutch lowlands. Thatched cottages line narrow canals, their reflections swaying in a gentle whisper – arched bridges connect the pretty village, and vibrant gardens spread geraniums and lavender along the cobblestone streets.

5.Gásadalur, Faroe Islands

Perched on the edge of Vágar Island, Gásadalur clings to the cliffs like a vague legend, where turf-roofed houses dot the glacial valley – framed by the towering silhouette of Árnafjall – the highest peak on Vágar Island (722 metres) and known as “eagle mountain”. PHOTO: GETTY

6.Oia, Greece

Situated on the northern tip of Santorini, Oia cascades like a waterfall with mirror-like infinity pools, bougainvillea-covered balconies, and white cliffside houses – carved into the caldera like sugar cubes – overlooking the Aegean Sea. Below, Ammoudi Bay glows with lantern-lit taverns serving fresh octopus and squid by the lapping waves under the moonlight... PHOTO: GETTY

7. Bourtange, Netherlands

Shaped like a star and stitched into the marshy plains of Groningen, Bourtange radiates symmetry and fairytale charm. Here, brick ramparts and grass-covered bastions radiate from the fortress’s centre, where 17th-century cannons stand in tulip-filled courtyards and the smell of fresh stroopwafel wafts from the cosy cafe.

8.Kotor, Montenegro

Kotor emerges from a swirl of stone and darkness – its medieval heart throbbing through its maze of alleyways, where bells toll from centuries-old chapels. Climb the trail to San Giovanni – a ruined hilltop citadel that once protected the city from Ottoman sieges – with views stretching out like legend across the water. PHOTO: GETTY

9.Shirakawa-go, Japan

Shrouded in alpine silence, Shirakawa-go appears like something out of a fairy tale – steep thatched roofs rise up forested slopes built to shelter from heavy snow. Smoke billows from irori fireplaces hidden inside centuries-old farmhouses... PHOTO: GETTY

10.Batad, Philippines

Spread out like a lush green arena, Batad’s 2,000-year-old rice terraces rise in perfect symmetry, carved into the steep folds of the Cordillera mountains. Stone-paved paths wind past handwoven Ifugao huts, where elders in feathered headdresses pound rice and chant hymns. PHOTO: GETTY

20.Cam Thanh, Vietnam

Nestled between mangrove forests and tidal rivers, Cam Thanh, Hoi An (now part of Da Nang ) hums with river life. Bamboo basket boats glide gently through the Bay Mau coconut forest - where boatmen cast their nets under the swaying leaves. Meanwhile, on the shore, cooking classes are bustling - buffaloes leisurely stroll by houses. Many tourists cycle past shrimp ponds and lotus ponds, but as the sun sets, the Thu Bon River glows copper, and the village exudes a warm breath. PHOTO: GETTY
