Few sights are as welcoming as a row of empty lounge chairs lined up along the beach, backs reclined like an open invitation. As humans, we are drawn to water. Thousands of years of evolution and the bond still holds strong. Perhaps that’s why beach vacations are such a beloved staple, a quintessential human experience that cannot be ignored.
Still open for debate, however, is where makes the best beach vacation. Island or coast, quiet seclusion or a buzzing boardwalk, endless sand or a private hidden cove. Luckily, there is no shortage of choices. Famous beaches in Waikiki and Cancun are fringed with grand hotels and opulent resorts, the Caribbean islands host intimate retreats of cheerful, brightly-coloured cottages, while the shores of the Mediterranean are home to sumptuous seaside villas with Old World charm.
There are four essential ingredients to any great beach vacation: sun, water, sand and luxury accommodations. A place where the service and food, rooms and amenities enhance the already perfect location. Whether you lean toward the old-school luxury of the Breakers in Palm Beach, the exclusive private-island retreat of Gili Lankanfushi in the Maldives, or the relaxed intimacy of St. Lucia’s Anse Chastanet - with SELECT Hotels & Resorts, finding your paradise has never been easier. The beach is beckoning, don’t wait.
