Every beach has its own pace and personality — long, smooth sweeps of golden sand with brilliant blue waves, palm-shaded coves where you can go all day without seeing another soul, white-sand stretches that are just a short swim from a coral reef.
Our specialists have hand-picked a worldwide selection of coastal retreats, from private islands in the Seychelles and polished resorts in Dubai to a secluded villa in Thailand. Here, you’ll find the best options they’ve discovered over decades of looking — the places they escape to when they need to take a deep breath and just relax.
Many of the hotels and beaches they’ve chosen are far from everyone and everything — tranquil retreats where you can enjoy your beach stay in privacy and seclusion. Whether you’re looking for an over-water villa with ample opportunities to snorkel, a secluded cottage with butler service or a boutique hotel near a turtle nesting site, our specialists can suggest the best beach vacation to suit you.
