Bostineaux Obliette is especially nifty. You can get there via the basement of the Chateau in Sandy!
Seriously though, there are many, many zones worth checking out for their beauty alone. You should just pull up FFXIAtlas, and explore as much as you can! :D
Oh, and don't actually go to the Obliette alone and at your level. You'll die horribly.

I always liked taking the ferry on Carpenter's Landing.

If you can get to the Alzadaal Undersea Ruins, I think it has a very Star Wars-esque feel. Plus, it is fun to watch the fishies swim and the octupus crawl along the mystical barrier :)
FWIW I think our LS will hold all of our meetings there from now on. I just don't think that zone can be beat in terms of beauty.

Lufaise Meadows/Misareaux Coast and the Promy zones are good if you have access. If not then Purgonorgo Isle off Bibiki Bay is nice.

I've never done that before. I should go there.

Upper level of Heaven's Tower; moody music and lighting.

I especially enjoy the guest mog house in Windurst. It's so fancy!

Pretty much all the CoP zones look fantastic.
A really cool zone. (if you can get there alive) is hall of the gods. I go there whenever I just feel like sitting somewhere. In terms of most-favorite zones....
1. Lufaise Meadows (variety of mobs)
2. Hall of the Gods (no mobs)
3. Oldton Movalpolis (moderately leveled mobs
4. Ro'maeve (dangerous to all levels)
5. Sanctuary of Zitah (moderate leveled mobs)
6. Ronfaure (safe)
7. Arrapeggo Reef (will aggro regardless of level)
8. Castle Zhavl (dangerous)
9. Mhaura
10. Aydeewa Subterrain (will aggro regardless of level)
There's many more that I could list, but to me, these 10 are the most amazing places to visit, from my experience.

Mhurron is right. I like Oldton Movalpolos. Funny music and dumb gobs/mobs.

In addition to the above list, I'm personally fond of:
Dragon's Aery (extremely high aggro rate, even to 75) has a very pretty pond guarded by a Demonic Rose.
Kazham (love the sparkly flowers at night).
The Manaclipper ride through Maliyakaleya Reef has some really stunning coral reefs.
Last but definitely not least...
By FAR the coolest zone in the game is Empyreal Paradox, which is the final battle arena for the Chains of Promathia storyline. I believe anyone who has completed Chains of Promathia will agree with me on this.

I still need to go to Lufaise and get the shot of the city ruins.
Also, I really like the tunnel in Tu'lia, right when you zone in. The translucent bridge is really cool.
Just to reiterate, Alzadaal is awesome. I stood in the room with the Runic Portal and watched the window for like 20 minutes one time. People who say the graphics suck in this game are nuts.

Climb the mountain in Attowha Chasm - the view is wonderful.

Yeah, it's pretty sweet. Let me know what ya think.
Watching wyvern's fly in Lufaise Meadows (sp) is sweet too, and seeing Tavnaiza (sp) in the distance too.

Actually did that yesterday, that was really cool. I know climbing the mountain can be a pain, but i thought it was pretty neat.

And since coordinates are useless without a map http://www.ffxi-atlas.com/maps/lufaise_meadows/general/

Thanks, for some reason I assumed it was the south coast, no wonder I couldn't find it. I'll go take a look up there next time I'm bored.

My favourite place in the game is the beach at Buburimu Peninsula, near Mhaura.
Particularly during the sunset, it's a beautiful scene.
I also love the basement of Heaven's Tower.
