Bohemian Travel Destinations To Add To Your Bucket List 🌏

 There’s something about the bohemian way of life that calls to the free-spirited traveller—the allure of hidden beaches, vibrant markets, and slow, soulful living in places that seem to exist outside of time. Whether you’re craving adventure, culture, or simply a place to reconnect with yourself, here are some must-visit destinations that embody the true essence of bohemian wanderlust.

Ubud,Bali

1. Ubud, Bali – The Heart of Spiritual and Artistic Expression

Bali is a place that stays with you long after you leave. It has long been a haven for travellers seeking both adventure and inner peace, and Ubud is at the centre of it all. Wake up to misty rice terraces, explore artisan markets overflowing with handcrafted treasures, and lose yourself in the scent of incense drifting from hidden temples. It’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself. Spend your days wandering through jungle retreats, soaking in traditional Balinese craftsmanship, or indulging in holistic wellness at one of the many yoga studios and healing centres.

Boho Must-Do: Visit the Tegalalang Rice Terraces at sunrise, find inspiration in Ubud’s art markets, and experience a traditional Balinese sound healing session.

2. Essaouira, Morocco – A Coastal Haven for the Free-Spirited

Unlike the hustle of Marrakech, Essaouira offers a slower pace with its whitewashed buildings, winding medinas, and stunning Atlantic coastline. It’s long been a magnet for artists, musicians, and wanderers drawn to its relaxed energy. The scent of spices fills the air as you meander through markets, and the rhythmic sounds of Gnawa music drift through the streets.

Boho Must-Do: Ride horseback along the beach at sunset, shop for handcrafted jewellery in the medina, and sip mint tea while watching the waves crash against the old city walls.

Tulum,Mexico

3. Tulum, Mexico – Where Ancient Ruins Meet Boho Beach Bliss

Tulum has become synonymous with barefoot luxury, eco-conscious travel, and dreamy beachside living. Set against the backdrop of Mayan ruins and turquoise waters, this is the ultimate destination for those who love a mix of history, spirituality, and laid-back vibes. Here, the jungle whispers secrets, the ocean glows in turquoise hues, and life moves in rhythm with the waves. It’s a place where barefoot luxury and ancient energy intertwine—where you can wake up to the sound of the sea, spend the afternoon exploring Mayan ruins, and close the day with a mezcal cocktail as the sky turns gold.

For those seeking something deeper, Tulum offers more than just beauty. You can sit with a shaman on the beach for a soul-nourishing ceremony, flow through sunset yoga with the ocean breeze as your soundtrack, or savour a long, lazy lunch at a jungle hideaway where time feels like it doesn’t exist. It’s a place for renewal, creativity, and indulgence in life’s simplest pleasures.

Boho Must-Do: See a shaman for a beachfront ceremony, sip a smoky mezcal cocktail as the sun melts into the horizon, and embrace the magic of Tulum’s soul-stirring energy.

California, USA

4. Big Sur & Beyond, California – Wild Beauty with a Touch of Luxury

There’s something untamed about Big Sur—the way the cliffs rise above the crashing Pacific, the scent of redwoods lingering in the air, and the endless winding roads that make you feel like you’re chasing the horizon. It’s a place for dreamers and wanderers, where creativity flows as freely as the ocean breeze. But California isn’t just about rugged landscapes—it’s also about indulging in life’s finer pleasures. Picture this: sipping craft cocktails under a blanket of stars, long, leisurely boozy lunches at The Home restaurant, and treasure-hunting for the perfect pair of worn-in cowboy boots on Melrose. Whether you're soaking in the wild beauty of Big Sur or exploring hidden gems in Los Angeles, California is a place where laid-back bohemian vibes meet effortless luxury.

Boho Must-Do: Take in the breathtaking views from Griffith Observatory, enjoy a slow, sun-soaked lunch (and a few cocktails) at The Home restaurant, shop for vintage finds and cowboy boots on Melrose, and take a dreamy coastal road trip along the Pacific Coast Highway.

5. Goa, India – The Ultimate Hippie Hideaway

Once the heart of the 60s hippie movement, Goa still holds a magnetic pull for free spirits seeking sun, sea, and soulful experiences. With its blend of Portuguese heritage, lush jungles, and stunning beaches, it’s the perfect place to unwind. Whether you’re meditating by the ocean, dancing under the stars at a beachside festival, or exploring colourful spice markets, Goa offers a taste of pure bohemian bliss.

Boho Must-Do: Take a yoga class at sunrise, explore the flea markets of Anjuna, and stay in a beach hut for the full boho experience.

Santorini, Greece

6. Santorini, Greece – A Cycladic Dream of White and Blue

While Santorini may be famous for its honeymoon appeal, it also offers a bohemian escape for those who seek deeper beauty beyond the picture-perfect postcards. The island’s charm lies in its artistic spirit, dramatic cliffs, and endless Aegean views. Hidden beaches and lesser-known villages like Pyrgos and Megalochori provide a quieter, more authentic experience for those looking to escape the crowds.

Boho Must-Do: Wander through Oia’s cobbled streets at dawn, soak in the healing waters of the volcanic hot springs, and find a secret cove to watch the sun dip into the sea.

Where Will Your Wanderlust Take You Next?

For the modern bohemian soul, travel isn’t just about seeing new places—it’s about feeling them, experiencing their energy, and carrying a piece of them with you wherever you go. These destinations are more than just beautiful locations; they’re places where you can lose yourself, find yourself, and be inspired by the world around you.

For me, these experiences don’t just stay in my memories—they find their way into my jewellery collections. Every collection I create is infused with the essence of my travels, capturing the feelings of discovery, connection, and the energy of new places. It’s about carrying a piece of those moments with you, wherever you go.
