Beach holidays

Sun, sea and sand are still the classic holiday combination, and luxury beach holidays come in all shapes and sizes, from intimate private islands to all-inclusive spa resorts with stunning ocean views, spectacular water sports and tempting mind-and-body treatments on offer.

The Maldives, Mauritius and the Seychelles are scene-stealers when it comes to white sand beaches, crystal-clear seas and luxury villa relaxation, while a safari beach holiday in Tanzania combines wildlife-watching in the Serengeti and the cultural sites of Zanzibar with island diving and snorkelling.

Favourite destinations in the Caribbean for water sports coupled with a bit of beach time include Barbados, Antigua, St Lucia and the ultra-exclusive private beaches of Mustique. The islands of the Mediterranean and the Adriatic, Thailand and Vietnam or coastlines of Mexico and Costa Rica, Australia and New Zealand all offer amazing holidays in the sun with a rich variety of activities on offer alongside pure relaxation.

Our beach holiday specialists have unrivalled knowledge of the world‘s best coastline attractions and resorts to help you pick your perfect stay all year round, whether you‘re looking to make the sun and sand your primary focus or simply want to combine a beach break with a cultural or other experience.
