These Are The 10 Best Countries In The World In 2025, New Zealand Ranked First

JAKARTA - Not long ago, New Zealand was officially named the best country in the world by 2025.

This treatment was carried out by the 2025 Telegraph Travel Awards, as quoted from Time Out, on Sunday, July 20, 2025.

New Zealand managed to occupy the first anniversary as the best country after being defeated by South Africa in 2023. New Zealand won this victory after more than 20 thousand Telegraph readers voted about the country.

New Zealand is considered superior because it presents a landscape of countries that are really cinematic. The peaks of the mountain are tall and covered in snow, as well as a bumpy green wine garden, all creating a background like being on another world.

Then in this country there are also famous hiking trails, such as Milford Track, Tongariro Crossing, and Routeburn Track. Not only offering climber paths, but it also offers attractions that spur adrenaline such as bungee-jumping, parachuting, jet-boating, and much more.

In addition to its natural beauty, New Zealand has also consistently been raised to be one of the best places for quality of life, security, and progress. Its coastal environment is a great place to observe wildlife and is known to have excellent sources of seafood.

Not only that, New Zealand is also proud of indigenous culture, with the New Zealand Maori community and the Haka Maori tradition. It embeds in the country's national identity.
