No. I am sorry there is no where in this world that we can find peace, love, happiness an harmony. The reason is that simple.
Happiness existed in heaven which was also known for its peace, harmony and properity. But that time has come and gone.It is like the day which follows the night and night the day.So heaven is the day and now we are in total darkness in the bowels of the night.
What do you expect to see in darkness? People take advantage of the deep night to commit crime and other devilish activities. Spiritually, we wander around in search of God from churches to churches, temples to temples and mosques to mosques all to no avail not to mention the numerous pilgrimages we undertake.
More importantly, you yourself are an embodiment of peace, love and harmony and indeed peace is a garland around your neck. This is because you are a soul and the soul is an embodiment of peace, love and harmony.
So, you need not go about in search of peace anywhere in this world because this is hell and the jungle of thorns where peace is none existent except pain, hardship, sorrow and death.
The good news, however, is that because destruction is just ahead it will pave the way for the eventual establishment of heaven for peace, happiness, comfort, harmony and prosperity to reign once again.

Yes, within yourself. It's the key to all peace, love and harmony, the decisions of every soul makes or breaks the beauty and goodness of the human world.
Most Holy Books are as written authorities and so often is overlooked the fact that humans must choose to be peaceful in order to have peace. You can find this in Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity as religions, and many, many other religions and philosophies as well. The very concept that peace is within you has been mocked, but in almost every established religion it is so; the soul does not have peace sometimes because of the choices of other souls, but very often a person lacks in peace for the sake of their own wrongdoing. The kingdom of Heaven is within you, the truth is within you, and last but not the very least, God is within you! What is so maddening about this very thing is that it is so simple it is ridiculous - it is much easier said than done.

Ah, what a WONDERFUL idea!
But Christianity teaches me that is dangerous. The Bible speaks of one-world governments, and false peace.
(I say this only because you've posted your question in R&S.)
Often, I fantasize about that perfect place you mention.
Realistically, though, I have found being happy with God, and within myself, is the only place to be truly happy.
P.S. I did go to Abaco, Bahamas once. That's the closest thing to peace I've EVER seen. I snorkeled at Mermaid Reef. I cried as I watched God's underwater BEAUTY. I thanked God for letting me see all the multi-colored fish, the blue-lipped parrot fish, the lobster, sea turtle, etc., etc., etc.
Now THAT is the time I felt closest to God...

I believe like the Buddhists, you can transform the mind into constant happiness. So, every place could be with peace love and harmony....
But if that doesn't work, a nice cabin in the alps!!!

No, the world is not perfect nor are we humans. But if you look hard enough I am sure you will find a place that is almost close to what u described. :) Don't give up hope. Be optimistic lol.
