Top Picks' Most Wanted 2025

Each year, Kaoonta Picks shines a spotlight on the destinations, restaurants, hotels, spa, and experiences that captured travelers’ loves—chosen from recommendation over the past 12 months. These honors aren’t decided in a boardroom—they’re chosen by you, real adventurers with real stories to share.

The 2025 Kaoonta Picks celebrate all that we discovered together past year—the secret spots we stumbled upon, the dishes that delighted us, and those unforgettable moments when we embraced new adventures.

We’ll be displaying popularity by category throughout the year, so keep your eyes peeled for the next set of crowd favorites.
