Europe in terms of humanities as they are good at preservation and restoration, and they kinda screwed the rest of the world over during colonisation so they basically win by default.
Asia in terms of nature because it's by far the largest and nature is all about being huge.

Being huge helps, but biome diversity, landscape diversity, low population density and short history of civilization are also very important. Tokyo may have been beautiful wilderness at one point, but it certainly isn't anymore. Just as Europe is good at preservation and restoration of human history, North America, South America and Oceania are good at preserving natural scenery.
Why doesn't Australia/Oceania have more votes? I mean New Zealand is included in that and New Zealand is beautiful... Not too mention the South Pacific Islands which are tropical paradises and Australia is cool-looking sometimes. I'm just shocked there's only 9 votes in the poll. I always viewed this portion of the world to be very diverse and lots of islands... I love islands.
Here are the continents by the length of their coastline:
1) North America (295,300 km)
2) Asia (230,300 km)
3) Oceania (71,200 km)
4) South America (32,700 km)
5) Europe (32,000 km)
6) Africa (26,000 km)
7) Antarctica (18,000 km)
In other words, North America has more kilometers of coastline than Asia, South America and Africa or Europe, combined. It also has more coastline than Oceania, South America, Europe, Africa, Antarctica and half of Asia, combined.
Especially in terms of beaches, outside of the Algarve in Portugal, Europe's beaches just don't look as inviting as other parts of the world.
I'm sorry but there are stunning beaches in Europe from top to bottom, there is thousands and thousands of miles of beaches in Europe why do you think that only the Algarve has beautiful beaches?

Asia's population is concentrated in East, SE, and South Asia. A large chunk of it has very few inhabitants, such as Russia, Tibet, Central Asia etc.
And I think the biome diversity and landscape diversity are both extremely high in Asia, quite possibly higher than all the other 6 continents.

True, Russia has an enourmous amount of tundra and taiga, but it is generally flatter and less interesting than the taiga, tundra and other polar biomes of North America.
The amount of wilderness between Asia, North America, South America and Africa is pretty comparable.
If you look at more detailed Last of the Wild maps, you will see that North America has 15/16 terrestrial biomes intact, Asia has 13/16, South America has 12/16, Africa has 10/16, Oceania has 9/16 and Europe has 6/16.
mh...it´s really hard to say....probably it is Europe, I´d say - not because of I live here but because it´s diverse enough.
