TOP 5 MOST PHOTOGRAPHED LAKES

With all the coast lines chocker block why not turn your attention to some of the most beautiful Lakes. there are more than 117 million lakes on Earth. While we didn't sift through them all, we did tackle quite a large list in order to bring you our Top 5 most stunning, awe-inspiring, picture-perfect puddles of water our planet has to offer.

Lake tahoe

Lake Tahoe, California, USA

Lake Tahoe is one of America’s great destinations—an outdoor adventure paradise backed by the Sierra Nevadas that’s beautiful in every season. During the summer, visitors flock to its turquoise waters and sandy beaches for sailing and kayaking or tackle the Tahoe Rim Trail for views of the basin. When winter hits, the area’s lauded ski resorts kick into high gear. Base yourself at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe for access to its private beach, fleet of boats, cabin-like rooms, and heated outdoor pool.

Lake Como

Lake Como, Italy

With its sprawling villas, Riva-lined marinas, and romantic promenades, this glamorous Italian playground continues to seduce today’s biggest stars. At Villa d’Este, a 16th-century old-world palace loved for its fountain-filled formal gardens and floating pool, you can rent the hotel boat for a cruise across the lake. Is your taste a bit more modern? Head to Torno and check in at Il Sereno Lago di Como, a contemporary showstopper designed by Patricia Urquiola.

Crater Lake, Oregon

Lake Crater, Oregon, USA

America's deepest lake is also one of its most peculiar. Its famously clear blue water pooled here after Mount Mazama erupted more than six thousand years ago, leaving behind a cavernous caldera. At one end sits Crater Lake Lodge, where you can enjoy breakfast with a view before a ranger-led boat tour that touches on the park's geology.

Loch Ness

Loch Ness, Scotland

UK’s famous Loch Ness known as the home of the legendary Loch Ness monster (Nessie to friends and family), this lake is visited by so many people who are eager to get a glimpse of the legendary monster that it contributes a whopping £40.7m to the local economy each year, according to studies.

Dead Sea

Dead Sea, Jordan

The saltiest spot on Earth is a swimmer’s favourite thanks to its natural buoyancy, but as the lake continues to recede at an astonishing rate, we're reminded not only of its beauty but of its importance as the sole feeder of the Jordan River as well as a major centre for health research. While it's still here, it's worth a pilgrimage. After soaking in the salty, cobalt-blue waters, tour the ancient fortress of Masada before resting your feet at the Kempinski Hotel Ishtar Dead Sea, a romantic resort 1,400 feet below sea level.
