Located on the edge of the awe-inspiring Sahara Desert, Nefta is where the magic of Star Wars becomes a tangible reality. Renowned as the backdrop for iconic scenes in the film series, Nefta's otherworldly landscapes transport visitors to a galaxy far, far away. Beyond its cinematic allure, Nefta enchants with its mesmerising scenery, from rolling dunes that stretch as far as the eye can see to palm-fringed oases. The ancient town is steeped in history, with its labyrinthine medina, adorned with vibrant blue and white facades, and the iconic Mosque of Sidi Bouhlel, which stands as a testament to the region's spiritual heritage.

Puukohola Heiau is a stunning stone structure visible from the road. Located north of Kohala Coast's resorts, the National Historic Site is home to one of the largest restored heiau (temples) in Hawaii. Heiau were sacred places of worship for Native Hawaiians, and Puukohola Heiau itself was built to fulfill a historic prophecy.

Around an hour outside Málaga, this cliffside path takes you through narrow walkways, deep gorges, and a high suspension bridge at the end. It’s about 8 km one-way and takes a few hours, depending on your pace. It used to be known as dangerous, but it’s now rebuilt and safe, with handrails and a clear path the whole way. You’ll need to book ahead, and there’s a shuttle at the end that takes you back to where you started. The views are what people come for — steep rock faces, bright blue water, and huge open skies.
