Coming in with an unspoilt score of 13.15 is the country famed for natural glacial beauty, hot spring lagoons, and the natural wonder known as the Northern Lights. True dark skies, rugged wilderness, (and the fact that 60% of the population lives in just one town) have secured first place for this northernmost beauty.
For 2nd place – we go all the way to the other side of the world – Australia!

With huge expanses of deserts, beaches, and turquoise seas to explore, it is no wonder that Oz comes in with an unspoilt score of 10.90! Whether you are delving deep into “the bush” or going on a road trip along the coast, this is a destination of a lifetime where you could go for days without being bothered by another person!
3rd place goes to Ireland!

The emerald isle is home to stormy seas, unblemished coastlines dominated by cliffs, and of course acre after acre of bucolic countryside. The close proximity to the UK and unspoilt score of 8.6 makes Ireland the ideal destination for a truly relaxing mini break.
In 4th we have Cyprus!
