While the United States has the most cities (six) in the top 50, achieving a top ranking is perhaps more impressive for smaller countries like Thailand and Greece, which respectively have four and three cities in the list.
As far as the top five go, spa experiences, access to healthy food and green spaces are some of the factors that propel these cities forward.
Australia is the only continent that is not featured in the list.
