Australia named world's most relaxing destination in 2025 index, beating Canada and Iceland.

Australia has been named the world's most relaxing destination in BookRetreats' 2025 Global Relaxation Index, scoring 73.8 out of 100. The index evaluates factors like crowd density, peacefulness, noise and light pollution, traffic, protected areas, and wellness activities. With only 3.4 people per square kilometer, Australia's low population density and abundant nature contribute to its top ranking. Canada and Iceland follow in second and third place, while traditionally relaxing European destinations like Italy and Mauritius are now considered stressful due to overcrowding.
