You Won’t Believe Where Jamaica Is Ranked on the List of Most Beautiful Countries

Jamaica has been ranked Number 35 on a list of the 50 Most Beautiful Countries in the world by the website, money.co.uk.

Acknowledging that “beauty” means different things to different people, the website compiled a list of the 50 “most beautiful” countries in the world and ranked them according to an analysis of the number of “natural wonders” at each location, such as coral reefs, volcanoes, glaciers, tropical rainforests, and others.

Listed as the Number 1 Most Beautiful Country in the world is Indonesia, which was cited for its over 17,000 islands and 31,000 square miles of coral reefs within easy access from the country’s province of Bali, said Sal Haqqi, the personal finance editor at money.co.uk. Other natural features that resulted in its top-of-the-list status are the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Komodo National Park; the tropical forests of Sumatra; and Kalimantan, the location of a nature reserve for orangutans. Listed in last place is Sweden at Number 50.
