It’s all beachy, baby
Sun + sand = holidaying 101. Find us someone who doesn’t love the feel of sun on their face… we’ll wait. Think warm weather, sweeping beaches and plenty of nearby food and drink options. Fill your days reading your fave book, catching those rays and getting up close and personal with the local beach bar. We’re talking everywhere from the Caribbean to the Canary Islands, the Maldives to Sri Lanka – you can find plenty of picks here from all over the world. Bag a beachfront stay with private sunloungers or something closer to town that’s still a short stroll from the sand. The style of your stay is up to you, but you can trust that everywhere on this page is about pure beach.
