natural attraction

Instinctive draw toward

Natural attraction is a pull toward something or someone that feels instinctive rather than learned or forced.

The phrase often describes romantic or sexual chemistry: There was an immediate natural attraction between them.

It can also refer to scenic locations that draw visitors—waterfalls, canyons, hot springs: The cave system is the region's most popular natural attraction.
