The world's greatest places have been unveiled by TIME magazine and three Aussie spots made the top 100. To compile the 2024 list, TIME solicited nominations of places - including hotels, cruises, restaurants, attractions, museums, parks, and more - from its international network of correspondents and contributors, as well as through an application process. Last year's list featured 50 cities, this year there are 100 establishments that stand out to visit and stay at.

Fashion designer Jamie Blakey and hotelier Julia Ashwood are the masterminds behind Sun Ranch , a luminous former cattle ranch they've regenerated with 15,000 new endemic trees and plants. It has been welcoming guests since November 2023. "A choose-your-own-adventure spirit pervades," according to TIME editors.
Another of the world's greatest places can be found in Tasmania. The wukalina walk is a three-night, four-day Aboriginal owned and operated guided walk. It covers wukalina (Mount William National Park) and larapuna (Bay of Fires) in northeastern Tasmania.
