Beach holidays are the epitome of relaxation for countless people around the world. Our trip ideas will get you thinking beyond Spain and the Greek Islands for your next beach destination.
Head to Africa, which is renowned for its incredible beaches, strung out along the length of its Indian Ocean coastline from Kenya to Mozambique, as well as on idyllic tropical islands such as Seychelles, Mauritius and Zanzibar. In South and Central America, some of the best beaches are found in Brazil, with renowned spots like Copacabana and Ipanema Beaches in Rio de Janeiro. Further up the coast, Jericoacoara Beach features tropical paradise vibes. In Costa Rica, dreamy beaches abound, like the palm-lined sands of Manuel Antonio National Park. Southeast Asia too offers sublime stretches of sand, notably in Thailand and the Philippines. Thailand's coastline is dotted with postcard-perfect beaches, like those on the island of Phuket and the shoreline of Krabi. The Philippines is an archipelago boasting over 7,000 islands, many edged by white sand and swaying palms, such as Boracay, Palawan, and Siargao Islands.
Whether you prefer an action-packed beach vacation or just relaxing on the sand, destinations across Africa, South and Central America, and Southeast Asia have options. From surf breaks to seafood shacks to luxury resorts, beach holidays in these regions check all the boxes.
