Beach Holiday Experiences for Travel You Feel

Travel is about far more than just the destinations you visit. It’s about the feelings it evokes within you, giving you an inspiring new perspective on the world. It’s the excitement of setting out into landscapes that ignite your curiosity.

It’s the sense of accomplishment when you try something new, achieving things you only dreamt of. The nostalgia of revisiting places that are forever etched in your memory. Embrace the freedom that travel brings.

Let us show you travel you feel.

 

Leave the everyday behind and embrace tranquillity as you feel the warm sand between your toes and the calming sound of waves as they lap the shore. From pink-hued sand in Crete to the rustic and relaxed vibes of Punta Mita in Mexico, below are our favourite beaches from across the globe.

Verdura, Sicily

Italy

Why the beach is epic: Boasting nearly 2km of private coastline, this stretch of private beach sits within the Verdura Resort, leading to calm blue waters perfect for a swim or range of water sports. The Water Sports Club offers a wide range of activities to try along with qualified instructors, and a PADI scuba diving centre. Take a break at the beach restaurant offering fresh seafood for both lunch and dinner.

Con Dao

Vietnam

Why the beach is epic: An island oasis waits for you just a short flight from the bustling streets of Saigon in the Con Dao Archipelago, an area of outstanding natural beauty steeped in history. It is best known for its stunning sandy beaches, coral reefs, and marine life, surrounded by lush jungle-clad mountains leading to crystal-clear seas. Aside from its paradise shores, you will also have the chance to explore its fascinating culture and history.

Puerto Viejo

Costa Rica

Why the beach is epic: Coconut palms languorously lean over the stunning beaches of the Caribbean coast around Puerto Viejo and Playa Cocles, where flashes of colour dot the horizon as surfers catch a wave and miles of golden sands merge into lush lowland rainforest. Horse ride along the beach, join the surfers in the warm waters, or simply sit back and watch the waves tumbling onto the beach.

Carlisle Bay

Antigua

Why the beach is epic: A horseshoe bay with the hotel hugging the curve of the beach; plus, there is a host of water sports and other activities that make the most of the turquoise waters and golden sands. Carlisle Bay looks out to the west so you will also have a front-row seat for some stunning sunsets. This is the quintessential Caribbean beach retreat that should be at the top of anyone’s bucket list.

Eagles Palace Beach

Halkidiki, Greece

Why the beach is epic: Shallow clear waters, gently lapping over soft white sands, stunning views and climate, that is why you can only but relax on this Blue Flag beach, one of the most beautiful in Halkidiki and home to our Scott Dunn Explorers Kids Club. Perfect for babies and toddlers to paddle and to top it all off bar service on the beach couldn't be easier - you just press a button on your umbrella table.

Anse Lazio

Praslin, Seychelles

Why the beach is epic: Imagine the whitest, powder soft sand in one of the most Jaw droppingly stunning locations on earth; imagine the Granitic cliffs of the Seychelles descending into the Indian Ocean with a thin sliver of sand that slopes gently into the water. The Seychelles wins on sustainability too, limiting visitor numbers and giving over nearly half of its land mass to conservation means that this is one of the most untouched, cared for and naturally beautiful places on earth.

Punta Mita

Mexico

Why the beach is epic: Plunge into paradise as you indulge in the perfect soft sugary sands and warm waters of Punta Mita surrounded by unrefined natural beauty and Mexico’s enchanting local culture. The impressive rainforest mountains decorate the backdrop, leading to manicured golf courses with ocean vistas, vibrant beach clubs and miles of beautiful beach. Take time to explore the hidden beach at the Marietas Islands, home to pristine natural beauty and utterly gorgeous paradise vistas.

COMO Maalifushi

Maldives

Why the beach is epic: In a destination that is not short of incredible beaches, COMO Maalifushi really raises the bar. Located in the south of the Maldives, and the only resort in the Thaa atoll, Maalifushi is the classic desert island experience. With world beating service and accommodation, the platinum white sands, and incredible diving available on site, Maalifushi has to be near the top of any serious beach junkies bucket list.

Soliman Bay

Mexico

Why the beach is epic: Powdery sand, glassy waters, coral reef right out front for epic snorkelling and you can walk out for miles. It’s also isolated from the Tulum madness and has a very laidback vibe. You are also just a short walk from a great local seafood restaurant for catch of the day informal dining. In short, heaven.

Benguerra Island

Mozambique

Why the beach is epic: An idyllic private white sandy beach on an unspoilt island within a Marine National Park. Deserted beaches of pure white sand that extend for miles, fantastic diving, and only accessible by helicopter. Azura has also recently launched the Peri-Peri Beach Club, a trendy beach-front bar which offers a range of activities including an ocean facing swimming pool, personal grills where guests can sizzle their own seafood and on selected nights an open-air cinema.

Pansea Beach

Thailand

Why the beach is epic: Pansea Beach is Phuket’s hidden gem. Only easily accessible from the two properties nearby, it has the look and feel of a private beach. Located on Phuket’s west coast, the wide golden sands are lapped by the gentle turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea. For those looking for a quiet spot to relax, enjoy the sunsets and fabulous snorkelling, Pansea Beach will not disappoint.

Elafonisi Beach

Crete, Greece

Why the beach is epic: Not only does it have amazingly clear turquoise water, but also pink sand! Think of Caribbean waters and that is what you will find here at Elafonisi Beach: shallow, warm lagoons and unbelievably clear water where you can easily while away the day. This is a beach to dream about and certainly a must visit whilst you are in Crete.

Summer Days in the South of France

France

Golden beaches, lavender breezes and timeless villages—experience the magic of a French summer. Lose yourself in the sun-drenched charm of the South of France, where each moment feels like a scene from a postcard. Wander through cobblestone streets lined with markets bursting with local produce. Sip rosé in vineyards that stretch as far as the eye can see and explore medieval villages perched atop hills. Tour Riviera gems like Eze and Monaco and relax on some of the Mediterranean’s finest beaches. From the vibrant Riviera to the peaceful Provençal countryside, summer here isn’t just a season—it’s a feeling of warmth, elegance and nostalgia you’ll carry with you long after the journey ends.
