CARIBBEAN
St. Lucia & Puerto Rico
from left: St. Lucia panorama; the Ritz-Carlton
San Juan; Fort in Old San Juan.
FROM lush mountains to the rainforest and coral reefs offshore, lovely St Lucia is a
gorgeous, geographically diverse island. Meanwhile, lively Puerto Rico boasts historic San
Juan and fabulous activities including watersports and rainforest zip-lining.
St. Lucia
Activity abounds in Castries, where
the cruise port is located. Marigot is
set amongst towering palms that surround a pretty inlet.
The “soul” of this island is in charming Soufriere, nestled beneath the
Piton Mountains. In Vieux Fort, at
the southern tip of the island, the
Caribbean meets the Atlantic — an
ideal spot for windsurfing.
Rodney Bay has the largest collection
of restaurants, shops and nightlife.
Experience “the Jump,” a popular
street party held on Friday nights in
lively Rodney Bay Village.
Capella Marigot Bay Resort & Marina, St. Lucia –
On the gorgeous bay, amidst lush greenery; in-room
hot tub; courtesy shuttle to Anse Cochon Beach.
Caribe Hilton, San Juan – High-rise hotel set on an
exclusive peninsula, amidst 17 acres of lush tropical
gardens, with direct access to the beach.
InterContinental, San Juan – Bask on the twomile-long beach or in the spacious lagoon-style pool
with waterfalls, swim-up bar and secluded gardens.
W Retreat & Spa, Vieques Island – All the style of
the W brand, and directly on the beach, on a low
cliff, with views of the Atlantic and Culebra Island.
Puerto Rico
US dollars are the currency here,
and those who like the excitement
of gambling will not be disappointed
in San Juan. Wander the historic
cobbled streets and enjoy fabulous
music in cool back-street bars.
Dorado is a golfer’s paradise, and
Fajardo, between the El Yunque
foothills and the sea, provides easy
access to diving and kayaking in bioluminescent bays. Vieques, famed
for its bioluminescent bay, also has
terrific dining, wild horses and pristine
beaches.

MEXICO
The Yucatan
from left: snorkeling in Xcarat; nothing beats
cocktails on the beach; Cancun shoreline.
MEXICO’S Yucatan coast is one of the world’s premier beach getaways. Cancun offers
non-stop sun, fun, dining and watersports — something for everyone. Offshore, Cozumel is
an island where water-lovers go for some of the Caribbean’s best snorkeling and diving.
Cancun
Cancun’s long stretches of white sand
are the star attraction here—with
dinner cruises, archaeological tours,
snorkeling and diving, plus excursions
to the nearby pyramids. Take advantage of our numerous and varied
sightseeing tours and activities here.
Cozumel
Cozumel is too resilient, too proud
to be just another cruise ship destination. So, beyond the tourist area,
you’ll discover quiet cool and genuine
authenticity. While diving and snorkeling are the main draws, the pleasant
town square is a nice place to spend
the afternoon, and the coastal road
leads to Mayan ruins and captivating
scenery along the unforgettable windswept shore.
Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancun – Exceptional
facilities and architecture blend with the landscape;
offers a magnificent view of the Nichupte Lagoon.
InterContinental Presidente, Cozumel – This
lovely resort occupies a top location for snorkeling
and diving experiences—and beautiful sunsets.
Le Blanc Cancun – Excellent service and amazing
restaurants have earned this property a very high
rating on TripAdvisor.®
Moon Palace, Cancun – Features include a large
pool; Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course; luxurious
spa; and the Noir nightclub.
Isla Mujeres
Impressive coral reefs make this small
island, so close to Cuba it’s become
a jumping off point for travelers, a
popular place for snorkeling and scuba
diving. And fresh seafood, cooked in
traditional Yucatan-style, plus Mexican,
Italian, Caribbean, Mediterranean,
Hebrew, French, Thai, Cuban, and
Maya restaurants keep it interesting.

Combine beach + city
Delight clients by mixing it up: combine a trip to Cancun with a cultural

MEXICO
Playa del Carmen & the Pacific Coast
from left: the beach at Playa del Carmen;
sunbathers’ heaven; Puerto Vallarta.
EASILY reached from Cancun airport, Playa del Carmen is a trendy place with long,
luscious beaches. On the Pacific coast, Acapulco offers its famous cliffs plus many
varied beaches, and Puerto Vallarta has superlative beaches for swimming and sports.
Playa del Carmen
One of the trendiest spots on the
Yucatan Peninsula, Playa offers clean
beaches, decorated with super-fit
European sun worshipers. It also offers
easy access to the ruins at Tulum, and
nearby Cozumel and Coba, enabling
you to round out a beach vacation with
culture and heritage.
Acapulco
Acapulco’s soaring cliffs curling into a
series of wide bays, and intimate coves
fringed with pearl beaches, made it
Mexico’s first party town for tourists in
the 50s and 60s—lured by celebrities
and daredevil cliff divers. It remains
gorgeous, with romantic cliffside
restaurants, a 17th-century fort, worldclass botanical garden, and a charming
shady plaza in the old town.
Fiesta Americana Villas Acapulco – Set above
Condesa Beach, this family-friendly resort sits among
huge boulders; staircases lead down to the soft sand.
Occidental Grand Nuevo Vallarta, Puerto Vallarta
– Set on one of the prettiest beaches in the Riviera
Nayarit, near restaurants and shopping; all-inclusive.
St. Regis Punta Mita Resort, Puerto Vallarta –
St. Regis Butler Service, spa treatments, two golf
courses, and 3 pools, including a 2-level family pool.
Grand Hyatt Playa del Carmen Resort – On a long
stretch of beautiful white sand beach and turquoise
water, in La Quinta Avenida, near shops and dining.
Puerto Vallarta
Puerto Vallarta, the gay beach capital,
is also one of the most sophisticated
towns. Curling around the sparkling
blue Bay of Flags, and backed by lush
palm-covered mountains, its dazzling
sandy beaches, quirky shops, stylish
restaurants and picturesque cobbled
streets satisfy daily. Or, venture out on
day-cruises, horseback rides, diving
trips and day tours – returning for a late
dinner or a night in one of many sizzling
clubs.

FLORIDA
Miami Beach
from left: South Beach; swaying palms
on the Atlantic; historic district.
FROM the Deco facades and lush neon of its iconic architecture, to its vibrant beach life
and party scenes, Miami has become synonymous with ocean-side chic—thanks to South
Beach’s one-of-a-kind style, with its walk- or bike-everywhere ease.
Sunshine & Style
Converge in Miami Beach
South Beach, also known as ‘SoBe,’ is
known well for its exuberant Art Deco
architecture. Only in South Beach does
this smooth Modernist style take on a
particular hybrid of pastel palette and
sleek curves, buttresses and contours,
meant to evoke early 20th-century train
and ocean travel.
South Beach, THE reason to choose
Miami as a vacation destination, offers
an eclectic mix of world-class boutiques, galleries and stores. It’s also a
culinary hot spot for everything from
gourmet to casual, beachside cuisine.
At night, SoBe comes alive with beautiful people, ready for a world-class
evening out—wearing fab clothes and
mile-high stilettos.
Called the American Riviera, Miami
also offers miles of white sand
beaches. The clear blue water and
beaches are a must-see, and even
the locals claim the beauty here
never gets old. Anyone needing a
break from the sun will find the many
museums, shops or historic buildings
in the area highly rewarding, too. And
a simple, no-cost stroll down Lincoln
Road provides some of the best people-watching in all of Miami.

Eden Roc – This alluring oceanfront escape on
Millionaire’s Row has long attracted Hollywood stars;
offers four distinctive pools and oceanfront dining.
Fontainebleau Miami Beach – Iconic architecture
updated for the 21st century, with four towers
around a spectacular pool area; kids’ club available.
Grand Beach Surfside – Oceanfront; see sweeping
views of the ocean and Palm Garden on entering the
lobby; espresso & gelato bar.
Loews Miami Beach – Named a Top 10 Beach
Resort for Families by Parents magazine; offers Sobe
Kids’ Camp & state-of-the-art poolside cabanas.

More Atlantic Coast Beaches
from left: relax to the sound of Atlantic surf;
transport by pedi-cab in Fort Lauderdale; family fun.
THE Atlantic and the Gulf compete for beach vacationers. The bustling cities on the Atlantic
coast hum with excitement, nightlife and bustle, while the ocean itself provides the sights
and sounds that sea-seekers love. These Atlantic beaches are perennial winners.
Cocoa Beach
On Florida’s Space Coast, Cocoa
is a classic sun-and-fun, wind and
watersports destination, with great
sightseeing. Kennedy Space Center
and Port Canaveral (second busiest
cruise port in the US) are nearby.
Check out space history or relax
before or after a cruise on this barrier
beach with a boardwalk, reached by a
vintage bridge spanning the sparkling
Intracoastal Waterway.
Daytona Beach
The birthplace of NASCAR racing,
Daytona is famous for its wide,
hard-packed white sandy beaches.
It’s a mecca for revheads and spring
breakers, drawing a good-time crowd.
But it also hosts nesting sea turtles (in
season) and provides some cultural
attractions.
Pelican Grand Beach Resort, Fort Lauderdale –
Old-style elegance and service; 100% non-smoking;
beachfront dining; veranda with rockers; private beach.
Marriott Harbor Beach Resort, Ft. Lauderdale
– Exclusive, beachside luxury hotel with gorgeous
ocean views and a grand staircase with a waterfall.
Hyatt Regency Pier 66, Fort Lauderdale – On the
Intracoastal waterway, 3 blocks from the beach;
renowned for its dazzling waterfront views.
Shores Resort & Spa, Daytona Beach – Oceanside
deck with pools and jacuzzi; tiki bar; beachside fire
cauldrons; AAA Four-Diamond restaurant.
Fort Lauderdale
Once ground zero for raucous spring
breaks, Fort Lauderdale now draws a
more mature and sophisticated crowd:
martinis versus tequila shots, jazz and
techno versus rock. But, there’s still
plenty of sizzling nightlife in area bars
and nightclubs. Beautiful beaches,
lovely, Venice-like waterways, and an
international yachting scene gild each
day with summer style.

FLORIDA
Gulf Coast & the Keys
from left: kick back; kayaking the Keys;
breathtaking beauty.
THE calm waters of the Gulf are perfectly suited to families and travelers looking for a quieter
getaway, while the Keys offer kaleidoscopic diversity under the sea in Key Largo, or on land
in Key West where a sunny dispositions and some eccentricity is part of the entertainment.
Gulf Coast Beaches
In addition to a beautiful beach fronting the Gulf, Clearwater holds the
Guinness Book record for the most
consecutive days of sunshine in a given
year: 361. Just 20 minutes from downtown St. Petersburg, St. Pete Beach is
a 30-mile-long stretch of sun-bleached
towns and azure water. Book rooms far
in advance, then settle in to the idyllic
rhythm of life here.
Cape Coral boasts over 400 miles of
waterways—more miles of canals than
any other city in the world. There’s also
an expansive water park, seven golf
courses and beautiful beaches nearby.
Fort Myers takes pride in having been
Thomas Edison’s winter home and
laboratory, but Fort Myers beach, with
its beautiful expanse of white sand is
the draw, earning rave reviews for its
cleanliness and wild birds—pelicans
and cormorants—in addition to sun
and surf.
Casa Marina Waldorf Astoria, Key West –
Charming, quiet oasis on the largest private beach in
Key West, in walking distance of lively Duval Street.
Hilton Clearwater – Oceanfront location on 10
acres of private beach; just a two-minute walk from
the marina, for great fishing or dolphin watching.
Pink Shell Beach Resort, Fort Myers – Beachfront
resort with marina and Kids Camp; near Bowditch
Point Park and Matanzas Pass Preserve.
Southernmost on the Beach, Key West – Lovely
architectural style and ocean views; in a quiet part of
historic Old Town; named a top hotel for romance.
The Florida Keys
Key Largo can seem underwhelming
at first, because the main sights are
under water—lots of marine life, accessible from the biggest concentration of
dive sites on the keys. Choose this destination for snorkeling and diving ops.
Romantic Key West is a bit eccentric,
in a good way. Enjoy literary festivals,
Caribbean villas and art galleries—plus
hard-partying frat boys and nutty
citizens. The sunsets are epic, and
night-blooming moonflowers.

HAWAII
Maui & Kauai
from left: stunning Maui beach; Kauai’s amazing
jungle landscape; whale watching on Maui.
WITH miles and miles of beaches open to all, warm Polynesian culture, and many flights
making it easy to get there, Hawaii is a top destination for sun and surf worshippers. Maui
and Kauai rank among the world’s most gorgeous, most dreamed-of travel destinations.
Maui
Laid-back Maui has something for
every swimmer, surfer and beachcomber, plus flightseeing, ziplining,
mountain biking, kayaking, hiking,
windsurfing, paddle-boarding and
more.
Visit or stay in timelessly rural Hana,
at the end of Hawaii’s most famous
drive. Opt for lively, historic Lahaina
or the flash of Kaanapali. Or, choose
Kapalua, sacred to native Hawaiians,
for its beaches, and posh serenity.
Wailea’s golden-sand beaches are
the stuff of dreams, with phenomenal
swimming, snorkeling, sunbathing,
tidy golf courses and swank resorts.
The Fairmont Kea Lani Maui – Luxurious oceanfront resort on 22 acres of sunny Wailea; kids will
love the 140-foot waterslide and Kids’ Club.
Outrigger Kiahuna Plantation, Kauai – Relax amid
30 acres of exotic gardens and lawns at this lush
beachfront resort; across from Kiahuna Golf Course.
Aston Kaanapali Shores, Maui – Offers two pools,
lighted tennis courts, fitness center, complimentary
scuba lessons, kids’ camp, hula lessons and more.
Royal Lahaina, Maui – On 27 acres of tropical gardens fronting an perfect stretch of Kaanapali Beach,
rated one of the world’s most beautiful beaches.
Kauai
This island is blessed with incredibly
lush landscapes, dramatic cliffs and
canyons, plus golden sand beaches.
Enjoy diving, swimming, paddling
or riding world-class waves in deepblue bays. Watch sea turtles, wild
dolphins and whales, and contemplate
endless Pacific horizons. Families, paddle-boarders and the less adventurous
will like Lihue’s welcoming beach and
calm waves.
Sunnier, drier Poipu, is a favorite for
families, and has gorgeous hidden
beaches to discover. Princeville, a
resort as protected as a film set –
which it sometimes actually is— is a
highly convenient place to headquarter
for exploring Kauai’s wonders.

HAWAII
Honolulu & the Big Island
from left: The Big Island’s Waimea beach;
learning to surf; experience the Aloha spirit.
WITH fine dining and nightlife, plus famous beaches and historic sites, Honolulu offers a
quintessential Hawaiian experience. On the Big Island, incredibly diverse terrain ranges
from rainforest to an active volcano within a few hours’ drive.
Honolulu
Honolulu, on the island of Oahu, is a
boisterous Polynesian capital, where
power brokers wear aloha shirts and
palm trees wave.
Oahu offers dining, sightseeing and
thrill-of-a-lifetime adventure: surf
the North Shore’s giant waves, hike
knife-edged cliffs, dive into Hanauma
Bay, windsurf or kayak to uninhabited
islands—and still be back in Waikiki
for sunset drinks. Like Honolulu-born
President Obama, Oahu is proud of its
multicultural heritage. “The country,”
with two-lane roads and all-natural
beaches where sea turtles bask, is a
short drive from the city.
Courtyard Marriott King Kamehameha, the Big
Island – Beachside in historic Kona, this landmark hotel
is home to the Ironman Triathlon; daily walking tours.
Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki, Honolulu –
Unique property with gardens, waterfalls, exotic
wildlife, sculpture and views of Diamond Head.
The Kahala, Honolulu – In a prestigious, secluded
area; lovely gardens and a lagoon that is home to
dolphins and sea turtles; plus Diamond Head views.
Outrigger Reef on the Beach, Honolulu – Decor
features masterworks of Polynesian art; offers evenings of slack-key guitar and vow-renewal ceremony.
The Big Island
See lava flowing to the ocean next
to black rock cliffs as the wind howls
overhead on the Big Island, and you’ll
feel like you’re witnessing creation.
Eight of the world’s 13 climate zones
exist here: Martian-like lava deserts,
emerald jungle, paradise valleys, black-,
white- and even green-sand beaches,
snowcapped mountains, coral forests,
plus an enchanting population of locals.
Discover Kailua in the Kona district.
It’s a great base to enjoy the beaches,
snorkeling, water sports and ancient
Hawaiian sites. Or stay at a resort on
Waikoloa Beach. Located on the
South Kohala coast, it’s home to fascinating cultural and geologic features of
the ancient Hawaiian culture, including
aquaculture fishponds and petroglyphs.

SOUTH AMERICA
Brazilian Beaches
from left: Rio’s breathtaking cityscape;
secluded cove; quiet beach in Buzios.
BIKINIS and beaches are Brazil’s favorite symbols. The beaches of Rio are as worldrenowned as their samba-inflected soundtrack, “Girl From Ipanema.” However, go a bit
further afield, and there’s a lot more to love about South America’s best coastline.
Rio de Janeiro
Whether you stay at Ipanema,
Copacabana or secluded Praia
Vermelha, chances are you’ll visit all
of them during your stay. Peoplewatching is sublime here, as is the
music. Unique options for oceanside
dining and drinking make for exceptional nightlife.
Rio offers lush mountains as well as
golden beaches. Head for the heights
to see the splendid views from Sugar
Loaf or on Corcovado. Hike in the
Tijuca rainforest, sail across Baía de
Guanabara, or try hang-gliding in the
stunning urban landscapes here.
Caesar Park Rio de Janeiro Ipanema – This luxurious, stylish hotel faces famous Ipanema Beach, in a
privileged area of Rio.
Porto Bay Rio Internacional, Rio de Janeiro – Right
on Copacabana beach, for the best of both worlds:
the sensational city and a breathtaking views.
Windsor Atlantica, Rio de Janeiro – Offers bright
sophisticated decor; rooms are elegantly styled in
warm natural hues, and most have ocean views.
Windsor Miramar, Rio de Janeiro – Enjoy the rooftop terrace with infinity pool and bar, and the new
gourmet restaurant, serving an inventive menu.
Buzios
Beautiful Buzios, a simple fishing
village ‘discovered’ by Brigitte Bardot
in the 60s, sits on a jutting peninsula
scalloped by beaches. Now an upscale
seaside resort with boutiques, fine
restaurants, villas, bars and posh pousadas, it retains its picturesque charm.
Other Beaches
In Natal, Ponta Negra is a striking
location, overlooked by fantastic
dunes, with steady surf and some
lively nightlife. The older part of Natal
is on a peninsula, flanked to the west
by the Rio Potengi, and to the east by
Atlantic beaches and reefs. Isolated
Fortaleza is a magnet for tourists—for
its beaches, atmosphere, nightlife, plus
easy escapes to spectacular spots with
rolling dunes and picturesque villages.

SPAIN
Costa del Sol, Ibiza & Mallorca
from left: Costa del Sol; the Ibiza shoreline;
village near Malaga.
THE Costa del Sol’s long, splendid beaches consist of three primary areas —
Malaga, Marbella and Torremolinos. The sunny Mediterranean islands of Mallorca and Ibiza
are also two highly popular and interesting beach destinations.
The Costa del Sol
A briskly modern city, Malaga has
an atmospheric port swagger and a
charming old center surrounded by
balconied buildings, narrow streets,
and some of the best tapas bars in the
province of Andalucia.
Sheltered by the Sierra Blanca
Mountains, Marbella is the region’s
classiest, and most expensive resort.
The attractive old town reveals its
Moorish legacy. Arab kings, plus the
rich and famous, own homes here.
Spain’s first gay bar opened in
Torremolinos in 1962, and in 2011
the town, Costa del Sol’s gay capital,
was the venue for the first annual Expo
Gays symposium.
MS Maestranza Malaga – Near iconic La
Malagueta Beach, featuring decor that pays tribute
to Picasso, with furniture styled from his Paris period.
Riu Palace Bonanza Playa, Mallorca — Relaxed
atmosphere, comfort, and personal service combine
with a fine observation point overlooking the sea.
Puente Romano Beach Resort, Marbella – Guest
rooms are in villas set throughout lush gardens (with
400 species of plant life) cascading down to the sea.
Guadalmina Spa & Golf, Marbella – Enjoy views of
the sea, gardens and golf club; rooms are equipped
with a terrace; offers private beach and kids’ club.
Ibiza
Ibiza’s legendary nightlife draws the
cream of Europe’s DJs, making this
island ground zero for club goers. But
there’s more than sun-kissed beaches.
Immerse yourself in the island’s rich
heritage at Ibiza City’s Dalt Vila—a
UNESCO World Heritage site.
Mallorca
Bone-white beaches, cliffs, and sapphire seas in the west, or pine-flecked
bays, turquoise waters and breezes for
windsurfers and sailors in the north, are
the draw here. The laid-back groove
is sensuous. Enjoy sunset strolls and
seafood at open-air restaurants.
22
Culture + Beach
Pair a stay in Malaga City — known for its Pompidou Museum and art district — with a
stay on Ibiza or Mallorca. Ibiza’s coast is studded with more than 50 sandy beaches and
crystal-clear water. Mallorca is also ringed by dozens of beaches with azure water.

EUROPE
Sunny Portugal
from left: shoreline of Madeira Island,
Albufeira seascape; fishing village in the Algarve.
THE Iberian Peninsula offers up European beaches with fine year-round climate.
The picturesque Algarve region is great for families, couples, party crowds, and golf-lovers.
Mountainous Madeira Island is ideal for nature lovers and couples.
The Algarve, Albufeira &
Lagos
A former fishing village, Albufeira is
now a center of English and German
tourism, with good links to lovely,
popular beaches to the west. And it’s
the gateway to the charming Algarve,
where cobblestone streets are lined
with fine dining, bars, cafes, shopping
and nightlife leading straight to sandy
and welcoming beaches.
Lagos is the Algarve’s holiday fun
center, with fabulous beaches, backed
by stunning, terracotta-tinged cliffs.
(Definitely book a sea grotto cruise
here). With 16th-century walls enclosing the old town’s pretty, cobbled
streets and picturesque plazas and
churches, Lagos offers high-quality
dining, plus pulsing nightlife.
Epic Sana Algarve, Albufeira – In a privileged spot
overlooking the beach; inspired by the surrounding
pine forest, green hues dominate the decor.
Sao Rafael Suite, Albufeira – Set beachfront, not far
from vibrant Albufeira, this modern hotel pampers
guests; the spacious rooms have large verandas. Alto Lido, Madeira – On the outskirts of beautiful
Funchal, in a setting ablaze with colorful flowers and
plants; free bus to Funchal daily.
Pestana Carlton Madeira – Mountain backdrop,
huge outdoor swimming pools, direct access to the
ocean and just a 10-minute walk to the city center.
Madeira Island
Known as the “floating garden of the
Atlantic,” Madeira has breathtaking
beauty, a delicious climate and a
riotous array of flora. Funchal offers
watersports, cafes and fine dining,
and much more.
Discover the Laurisilva forest, a
UNESCO nature site; experience
the gondola lift (Funchal Passenger
Ropeway) to climb to the suburb of
Monte; and explore the renowned
Botanical Gardens. Be sure, too, to
sample the legendary Madeira wine
and learn its fascinating history.
24
Combine the Algarve with...
Enjoy some R&R at the beach, then head to Lisbon and on to Coimbra
for a complete Portuguese experience. Seville in Spain also pairs well
with a stay in the Algarve.

ITALY
The Amalfi Coast & more
from left: Italy’s stunning shoreline;
the Amalfi Coast; Faraglioni rocks off Capri.
ITALY’S beaches span the coastline so you can combine sun and city easily. Visit bustling
Naples, and historic Pompeii, and then luxuriate on the Amalfi Coast. Get immersed in
Tuscan lifestyle at Viareggio, a fishing village turned seaside resort. The choices are endless.
The Amalfi Coast
Tiny, sun-filled Amalfi is Italy’s most
popular getaway. Capri, a legendary
island, with a craggy coastline dotted with picturesque coves, offers
delicious Mediterranean swimming.
Positano is the coast’s most picturesque town, with its cliff-clinging
buildings and wisteria-draped hotels.
Santa Margherita Ligure
Along with Portofino, this destination
is the place to go for picture-perfect
seaside promenades, million-dollar
yachts, and sublime seafood.
Luna Convento, Amalfi – Boasting an amazing
outdoor pool directly on top of rocks overlooking the
sea, this hotel is a former monastery.
Principe di Piemonte, Viareggio – This prestigious
1920s-era seafront hotel is a member of Small
Luxury Hotels of the World.
Excelsior Parco, Capri – Formerly a Roman villa, as
is testified by the ancient column of alabaster at the
hotel entrance; free shuttle to port or town center.
Conca d’Oro, Positano – Beautiful cliffside
setting, facing the sea, near Spiaggia Grande and
La Gavitella; some rooms have balconies.
Agrigento
Here you’ll find Sicily’s most impressive Greek ruins, the UNESCO-listed
Valley of the Temples—the best-preserved Doric temples outside Greece.
Lively, medieval Via Atenea in the town
center is lined with smart shops, trattorias and bars.
Viareggio
This popular Tuscan sun-and-sand
resort is known for its flamboyant
Mardi Gras Carnevale and a seafront
that recalls the town’s 1920s and ‘30s
glamorous origins.
Venice Lido
The Lido became a fashionable seaside
resort around the late 19th century.
Today it’s fun to hire a beach chair and
umbrella to savor the beach scene and
pretend to be an Edwardian.

GREEK ISLANDS
Santorini
from left: the coast of Santorini; quintessential
white-washed buildings; the Aegean.
RESTING in the middle of the indigo Aegean, spooning a vast crater, the enchanting island
of Santorini is no secret and draws many visitors during most of the year, so our selection
of special beach locations will help you advise clients.
The Beaches of Santorini
Akrotiri, one of Santorini’s alluring
red beaches, also offers a fascinating
Minoan site, with a volcanic history,
and beautiful friezes to view.
Fira Town, the island capital, is a
vibrant locale, its caldera edge layered
with hotels, cave apartments, infinity pools, posh restaurants, plus an
archaeology and prehistory museum.
North of Fira lies Oia, a magical mustsee, Cycladic village, its dwellings
nestled in niches hewn into the volcanic rock.
Whitewashed, sapphire-domed
Imerovigli, adjacent to Oia, offers
Skaros, a 13th-century Venetian palace
to explore, and an array of simple but
decadent local delicacies to try.
Kamari Beach features Santorini’s
largest stretch of powdery black sand,
and most developed resort area—
with numerous hotels, restaurants,
beachside bars, shops and watersport
rentals.
Picturesque Perivolos features
another expansive beachfront with
numerous tavernas, pubs and restaurants serving fresh fish and local
delicacies. Well- organized, it provides

GREEK ISLANDS
Crete & Mykonos
from left: Mykonos beach; Mykonos
waterfront; seaside dining in Crete.
WARM water and whitewashed buildings make these beautiful, historic Greek islands top
beach destinations. Stylish Mykonos is romantic and full of nightlife. And in Crete, rugged
mountains, endless beaches, charming villages and historic sites create a rich experience.
These volcanic islands, beautiful and
historic, make for a great combination
of doing nothing but relaxing and getting immersed in ancient history.
Crete
A magical quilt of splendid beaches,
ancient treasures, urbane cities and
dreamy villages, where locals share a
generous spirit—Crete might be the
definitive Greek experience. Simply
plant footprints on a sandy beach
like Elounda, visited by Leonardo di
Caprio and Lady Gaga, and laid back
Georgioupolis with its inviting town
square. Here, one can trek through
Europe’s longest gorge or cycle thru
orchards on Lasithi Plateau.
Heraklion, the capital, has dazzling
sightseeing including the Minoan
Palace of Knossos. Tavernas everywhere serve farm-fresh and organic
cuisine, excellent local wine, and fiery
shots of raki.
Myconian Imperial, Mykonos – On unspoiled Elia
beach in a quiet, romantic spot; offers spa treatments and evening shuttlebus to Mykonos Town.
Mykonos Princess Hotel, Mykonos Town – Mix
sun-kissed days, an azure sea, spa-like surroundings
and gastronomic pleasures for a dreamy experience.
Mykonos Bay Hotel, Mykonos Town – Directly on
Megali Ammos Beach and in walking distance of the
action and nightlife in the center of town.
Pilot Beach Resort, Crete – On a lovely, sandy
beach on the Bay of Almyros, near the picturesque
fishing village of Georgioupolis.
Mykonos
Appealing to all, Mykonos is the
glamour island of the Cyclades—
with all types of traveler thronging
through the authentic inner maze of
Mykonos Town. Famous for its iconic
ancient windmills, this town is also
the jumping-off point for the splendid
archaeological site of nearby Delos.
Platis Gialos, a gently curved long
beach, offers water sports, many
restaurants and bars; while Elia, on the
southern coast, is one of the most pristine sandy beaches in the Greek isles.

Perfect Combination
Start with historic Athens and combine with an island for a getaway
mixing city, beach, and cultural experiences.

EUROPE
Croatia, Cyprus & Malta
from left: the Maltese coast; local power;
a popular beach in Dubrovnik.
ONCE relatively unknown, visited mainly by European yachts and super-savvy travelers,
these Mediterranean nations are quickly ascending to the ranks of top destinations, sparked
by interest from cruise travelers and fans of the Mediterranean lifestyle.
Croatia
Dubrovnik, the “Pearl of the Adriatic,”
boasts intact medieval walls, Baroque
architecture, UNESCO World Heritage
status, and dozens of beaches— for a
rare opportunity to enjoy both urbane
culture and idyllic seaside life. The
Dalmatian Coast beaches are stunning,
with beautiful scenery.
Cyprus
Cyprus straddles both Greek and
Turkish cultures. Beaches here range
from the wild and windswept to the
family-friendly and packed. Find all
water sports, from scuba diving to
kite- or windsurfing, here.
Lanarca has a lively coastal promenade where locals and visitors come
for a morning coffee, the beach,
and sunset. Still known to many as
Limossal, Lemesos is picturesque;
perfect for sun seekers and in easy
striking distance of historical sites.
Sentido Sandy Beach, Larnaca, Crete – On the
seafront, with its own sandy beach and beautiful
gardens; near shops, tavernas and nightlife.
Amathus Beach, Limassol, Cyprus – On a sandy
beach near the site of the “Kingdom of Amathus,”
amidst spacious grounds; offers a sunbathing lawn.
Preluna Hotel & Spa, Sliema, Malta – Right on
Sliema’s seafront; with three restaurants, spa, private
beach, and spectacular rooftop lounge open all day.
InterContinental, St. Julians, Malta – Just 200
meters from the sandy beach of St. George’s Bay,
with its own private beach.
Malta
The tiny island republic of Malta has
beaches for everyone, and traversing
the coast can be done in a day.
St. Julian’s, above the capital, is a cool
European party town, its Paceville district, full of bars, nightclubs, pubs and
restaurants, and active, social beaches.
Sliema, an upper-class enclave, has
a more exclusive feel, with elegant
backstreets and a stepped waterfront
promenade.

MEDITERRANEAN
Turkey’s Beaches
from left: Duden Waterfall; Bodrum Harbor,
rocky shoreline near Antalya.
ANTALYA, on Turkey’s southern coast, is a Mediterranean resort town with wide beaches
and mountain backdrops. Further up the coast, Bodrum is on the site of an ancient city. On
the Aegean side, Kusadasi has memorable beaches is near the amazing ruins of Ephesus.
Antalya
Site on the Gulf of Antalya, the largest
city on the west coast is classically
beautiful and stylishly modern. The
old city district of Kaleiçi offers atmospheric accommodations in finely
restored Ottoman houses. Just outside
the central city is Antalya Museum, a
comprehensive collection of artifacts
dating from the Stone and Bronze Age
to Byzantium.
Kusadasi
Kusadasi, gateway to historic Ephesus
and Turkey’s busiest cruise port, can’t
compete with Bodrum for ambiance,
but the Irish pubs and discos create a
memorably festive atmosphere. With
good hotels and restaurants, a bazaar
and two quieter old quarters, it’s an
ideal way to mix your visit to Ephesus
with nightlife and sea views.
Barut Lara, Antalya – This beachfront hotel has
eight different restaurants, spa with Turkish bath,
plus indoor and outdoor pools with water slides.
Titanic Beach Lara, Antalya – Enjoy the four pools,
spa, fitness center, watersports, kids’ club, and even
a water park with slides and playground.
Kempinski Hotel Barbaros Bay, Bodrum – Set on
a secluded bay, this hotel cascades from atop a cliff
to the private beach; stunning pool; kids’ club.
Le Bleu Hotel & Resort, Kusadasi – Faces the
Aegean; guests enjoy large outdoor pools, tennis
and a spa with sauna and Turkish bath.
Bodrum
Although more than a million tourists
flock to its beaches, boutique hotels
and clubs each summer, Bodrum‘s
elegance, from its crowning castle and
glittering marina to flower-filled cafes
and white-plastered backstreets, holds.
Once a simple fishing, Bodrum now
features paradisiacal beaches and glittering summertime opulence. An arty
identity since the 1940’s has preserved
Bodrum’s Aegean character— bluetrimmed whitewashed houses, ancient
ruins and Ottoman mosques.

MIDDLE EAST
Dubai & Jordan
from left: iconic Burj Al Arab pierces the Dubai
skyline; exotic view; the Palm Jumeirah Islands.
THESE locales are among the unexpected, yet rewarding, choices for sun seekers. Dubai
offers the sheen of the new, and a multicultural mélange hard to find outside of London or
New York. Jordan’s coast provides the joy of discovery and the unique Dead Sea experience.
Dubai’s Jumeirah Beach
When the United Arab Emirates was
formed, Dubai’s sheikh turned his slice
of the kingdom into an economic powerhouse. The white sands of Jumeirah
Beach stretch south to meet Palm
Jumeirah—an artificial archipelago in
the shape of a palm tree. In Dubai, one
has the unique opportunity to enjoy a
natural or a man-made beach!
At Jumeirah Beach, savor spectacular
harbor views, wide sandy beaches,
world-class ultra-luxurious hotels with
private beaches, and deluxe shopping
in a fascinating atmosphere.
Movenpick Resort & Residences, Al Aqaba –
Adjacent to the archaeological site of the ancient city
of Ayla, with a pedestrian market leading to beach.
Jordan Valley Marriott Resort, Dead Sea –
This outstanding resort boasts a spa and three large
pools. From the private beach, float in the Dead Sea.
Ritz-Carlton Dubai – Mediterranean-style beach
resort providing renowned Arabian hospitality in an
exclusive setting, adjacent to Emirates Golf Club.
Atlantis the Palm, Dubai – This colossal resort on
Palm Jumeirah Island has a private beach, underwater
aquarium, water park, plus swimming with dolphins.
Jordan
Aqaba, located on the clear waters
of the Red Sea, has an infectious ‘on
vacation’ vibe and relaxed small-town
atmosphere. It’s a sociable stopover en
route to the diving and snorkeling sites
to the south, and Jordan’s sightseeing
destinations.
The Dead Sea is as much a reason to
visit Jordan as Petra. This extraordinary
body of intense blue water, smooth on
windless days and whitecap-ruffled on
windy ones, lies 1300 feet below sea
level. ‘Swimming’ is a misnomer, since
extreme buoyancy makes it difficult to
move through the water.
While here, enjoy a spa treatment
(Dead Sea salt is famously good for
the skin), watch the sunset across the
water, and toast the rising night lights
of Jerusalem, perched high above
the West Bank.

AFRICA
Mauritius, the Seychelles & more
from left: Mauritius; Seychelles shoreline;
stunning view of South Africa’s coastline.
MAURITIUS is a world-in-one-island slice of paradise. Say “the Seychelles,” and many men
recall the Cheryl Tieg’s Sports Illustrated bathing suit issue. Durban’s beaches are among
South Africa’s best. And Zanzibar is synonymous with the allure of the word “island.”
Mauritius
Couples and honeymooners love the
perfect beaches, turquoise warm
water and romantic sunsets here. Belle
Mare offers powdery sand and many
activities if one needs a break from
beaching, including golf, a water park,
hiking, watersports and deep sea fishing. Bel Ombre’s long, unbroken sands
are protected by a coral reef.
The Seychelles
Quiet and romantic, with brilliant white
sand, lush landscapes and coral seas,
these islands lure beach-lovers yearround. Lined with unspoiled beaches,
Mahe Island is the arrival point.
Praslin, always on Top 10 beach lists,
also has a championship golf course.
La Digue, the smallest of the islands,
has secluded beaches with sculpted
granite boulders.
Southern Sun Elangeni & Maharani, Durban
– Right on the spectacular beachfront, near the
boardwalk and many other local attractions.
Four Seasons, Seychelles – Enjoy a private sanctuary in the unique tree-house villas with private plunge
pool. Take in lovely ocean views from the onsite spa.
Constance Le Prince Maurice, Mauritius – Set on 60
acres of unspoiled land and gardens, nestled against
a powder-white sand beach and sheltered bay.
Essque Zalu Zanziba, Zanzibar – An ideal getaway
on the bay, with calm water year-round. In town,
enjoy historic and exotic cafes, restaurants and bars.
Durban, South Africa
On the Indian Ocean, Durban offers
golden beaches, a variety of restaurants
and fun nightlife. Popular pastimes
include body-boarding, surfing and

ASIA
Thailand’s Phuket Island
from left: the Andaman Sea; the resort life is
the good life; local fishing boat in Phuket.
PHUKET is the island in the Andaman Sea that put Thailand on the map for beach holidays.
Once a magnet for entrepreneurs, it was a colorful blend of influences from Arabia, China,
India and Portugal — and it still is today.
Nightlife and great beaches bind global
tourists together on Phuket. We feature select beaches here, but you’ll find
more Phuket beaches and hotels at
right, and more still on our website.
Karon Beach
Hat Karon is glamorous and a bit
louche. Head north for more beautiful
beaches, culminating at the northern
edge, with turquoise glass-like water,
good local food, and lovely Karon Park.
Fronting all is a fine stretch of sand.
Kata Beach
Kata attracts all ages with its shopping,
surfing, lively beach, plus terrific dayspas, food and yoga. Hat Kata Yai on
the north end, and secluded Hat Kata
Noi on the south, offer soft golden
sand and attract a bohemian crowd.
Le Meridien Phuket Beach Resort, Karon Beach
– This terraced 7-story hotel has a Thai sala-roofed
lobby, creating a spectacular entrance.
The Senses Resort, Patong Beach – Entire resort
overlooks Patong Bay; guests take a free shuttle
down to the secluded beach.
Amari Phuket, Patong Beach – Stroll the acres of
lush tropical gardens at this beachfront resort-hotel.
Grand Mercure Phuket Patong Beach – Cool decor
and dining, and just a short walk to town or beach.
Patong Beach
With a broad, white-sand beach and
magnificent crescent bay, Patong is
a free-for-all, highly entertaining and
refreshingly unique. Diving and spa
options abound, plus upscale dining,
street-side fish grills, campy cabaret, dusty antique shops and one of
Thailand’s coolest shopping malls.

Port Douglas & the Great Barrier Reef
from left: Port Douglas beach; the Great
Barrier Reef — up close and from above.
A MERE hour’s drive from airport-adjacent Cairns, Port Douglas a is a beach lover’s dream
come true. Beautiful scenery and easy access to UNESCO World Heritage Sites—the Great
Barrier Reef and the rainforest of Daintree and Cape Tribulation—offer much to visitors.
Port Douglas & Environs
From humble origins as a sleepy
1960’s fishing village, Port Douglas is
now a sophisticated alternative to more
touristy Cairns, and a base for experiencing the Great Barrier Reef.
Four Mile Beach, a strip of palmfringed, white sand; picturesque
Dickson Inlet and Reef Marina; plus
resorts, wining, dining, and shopping,
are key attractions.
The amazing Great Barrier Reef
stretches nearly 1500 miles along
Australia’s northeastern coast. Larger
than Switzerland, Holland and the
United Kingdom combined, the Reef
is visible from outer space, and is the
world’s largest living organism,
a place of remarkable natural beauty
and biodiversity.
Choose from our many dive, snorkel, cruise or glass-bottom boat
sightseeing options to enable your
clients to experience this unmatched
phenomenon.
44
Freestyle Resort – Surrounded by lush tropical gardens, with lovely over-hanging roofs and verandas;
just a short walk to the beach or shopping and cafes.
Paradise Links Resort – Only 500m from beautiful
Four Mile Beach, set in lush tropical gardens and
boasting spectacular golf course views.
Sheraton Mirage Port Douglas Resort – The
perfect base from which to explore the Great Barrier
Reef, Daintree Rainforest and Mossman Gorge.
Thala Beach Nature Reserve – Fully eco-accredited
for ecotourism, situated on 145 acres of forest and
spectacular beach with secluded coves.

Gold Coast & Other Beaches
from left: ultimate beach day;
relax now and party tonight; surf’s up.
STRETCHING from Rainbow Bay to South Stradbroke Island, the Gold Coast is a place
of glittering highrises built around superb beaches, including the world-renowned
“Surfers Paradise.” The region offers other stunning beaches as well.
Gold Coast
With 300 sunny days a year, this is
a beach lover’s ultimate. Choose
Four Mile Beach for tropical style
and sophistication. Surfer’s Paradise
for sizzling nightlife. Or there’s chic
Broadbeach, charming Burleigh Heads,
and laid-back Coolangala.
Hamilton Island
A resort paradise, where roads are
plied by golf buggies; hills paths offer
magnificent sea views; and white
beaches buzz with water-sports action.
Catseye Beach fronts the resort area,
and offers stand-up paddle boards,
kayaks, windsurfers, catamarans, jet
skis and other equipment for hire.
Jupiters Resort & Casino, Gold Coast – Set several
blocks back from the beach, surrounded by seven
acres of lush, tropical gardens.
QT Gold Coast – Vibrant beachside location;
features strong art and design elements with a
cutting-edge restaurant and bar scene.
Alamanda Palm Cove – All-suites resort with idyllic
location; glass doors open onto balconies overlooking a beach of the Great Barrier Reef.
Paradise on the Beach, Palm Cove – In the heart of
Palm Cove Village right on the beachfront, opposite
the lifeguard-protected swimming area.
Other Beaches
Largely reserved for locals, because
it’s so private and idyllic, Kewarra
Beach sits on the southern end of a
large stretch of wide protected beach
(with Palm Cove). Great for swimming,
it’s also great for young families—with
picnic tables and play equipment.
Palm Cove is an intimate, upmarket,
cloistered coastal community with
a beautiful promenade along a treelined esplanade. A gorgeous stretch
of white-sand beach and sprinkling of
fancy restaurants lure travelers from
secluded, luxury resorts. Everything
one needs is in walking distance.

Exotic Bali
from left: gentle surf rolling in;
Balinese serenity; peaceful temple.
FASCINATING Bali offers many options. Kuta has watersports and nightlife. For a quieter
setting, there’s elegant Nusa Dua or Jimbaran Bay, where the sea is calm and sunsets are
memorable. Seminyak is upscale and sophisticated. Inland, Ubud offers rich culture.
Jimbaran Bay
It’s the “Beverly Hills of Bali” with
world-class, 5-star beach resorts and
more. A beautiful white sand beach,
chic shops, a trio of grilled seafood
restaurants on the beach and stunning
sunsets, are the draw. Instead of
nightlife it offers proximity: to Kuta,
Seminyak, Bali’s cultural highlights, and
the airport.
Kuta & Legian Beach
Kuta is a Bali landing spot, and affordable, so it attracts young travelers.
Legian appeals to a slightly older
crowd (it’s where Kuta fans go after
they’re married!). It’s ideal is to spend
a few days here and then go inland to
discover Bali’s unique culture.
InterContinental Bali Resort, Jimbaran Bay –
Overlooking the tranquil bay, on a seemingly endless
stretch of beach, for mesmerizing sunset views.
Amarterra Villas Bali Nusa Dua – Each elegant
MGallery villa provides private pool, luxury service,
hi-tech amenities, and proximity to the beach.
Grand Hyatt Bali, Nusa Dua – On a sumptuous
stretch of magnificent beachfront, these low-rise
Balinese villas are the ultimate tropical hideaway.
The Oberoi Bali, Seminyak – Bask in a private
paradise, a village of thatched lanais and villas set in
beautiful gardens on a 500m stretch of golden sand.
Other Beaches
Built in the 1970s to compete with top
international resorts, upscale Nusa
Dua is a vast, manicured place. Sanur
Beach, not as hyper-active as Kuta, not
as contained as Nusa Dua, has a ‘just
right’ mix of places to stay, restaurants
and bars, plus a slender, reef-protected
beach with the gentle waves families
appreciate.
Seminyak, the center for Bali’s large
expat community, has a wealth of
restaurants, clubs, creative shops and
galleries. World-class hotels line the
wide, sandy, uncrowded beach.

SOUTH PACIFIC
French Polynesia
from left: Moorea’s stunning landscape; schooner
off the Polynesian coast; overwater bungalows.
THE warm welcome here, including a lei, lures visitors into life on these tranquil
South Pacific islands. While one may not visit all 118 islands, there are three favorites
we highly recommend visiting: Bora Bora, Moorea, and Tahiti.
Tahiti
It is the heart of Gauguin’s Polynesia,
waterfall-laden with shadowy mountains, beautiful black-sand beaches,
and a distinctly Polynesian buzz.
Papeete is the capital, with the
international airport. Here you can
absorb the sights, visit museums,
dine, shop and see natural wonders.
Explore the mystical interior by 4WD,
learn to dive in the translucent lagoon,
marvel at archaeological sites, or go
whale-watching. From here, one can
continue to other islands.
Bora Bora
The view from the plane says it all: a
ring of sand-ringed islets encircle a
glittering turquoise lagoon, rimmed by
lush green peaks. This is the choice
of many honeymooners, and other
travelers too. Diving, snorkeling, lagoon
tours, hiking and parasailing are readily
available. Sweeping expanses of sand
are not, however. With only one ‘real’
beach, Bora Bora is all about iconic
bungalows suspended over blue
lagoons. With its lush interior and coral
reef, this is a paradise like no other.
Moorea
On the brief plane or boat ride from
Tahiti, the first glimpse of idyllic
Moorea may inspire disbelief, with its
seemingly unreal turquoise lagoons
and emerald cliffs. Steep in the warm
lagoon, snorkel through brilliant schools
of fish, and savor vivid sunsets.
50
InterContinental Resort Tahiti, Papeete – Set in
a 30-acre tropical garden with its own beach and
lagoon, plus two infinity pools and a Lagoonarium.
Hilton Moorea – Luxurious bungalows with
contemporary Polynesian design are set among
flower gardens or suspended over the lagoon.
Tahiti Pearl Beach Resort, Papeete – With lush
surroundings and beautiful waterfront views, this
resort is ideal for honeymooners or any vacationers.
InterContinental Le Moana Bora Bora – Intriguing
cultural activities, watersports, white-sand beach,
and overwater bungalows make for a perfect stay.
Combine islands
Visit two or more islands to experience the real diversity of
heavenly French Polynesia.

SOUTH PACIFIC
Fiji, the Maldives & more
from left: outrigger adventure;
glorious lagoon on Fiji; the Cook Islands.
The musical “South Pacific” could be set in any of these archipelagos. Among the most
renowned and beautiful islands on earth, Fiji, the Maldives and the Cook islands have
natural wonders and blue seas of incredible diversity that must be seen to be believed.
The Fiji Islands
Famous for coral diving, white sand
beaches and pristine environment, Fiji’s
splendor is revealed as visitors islandhop and uncover the natural beauty
and unique culture of the people.
The 50-mile Coral Coast stretches
between Nadi, the step-off point for
exploring or returning, and Suva on
Fiji’s largest island, Viti Levu.
Truly splendid beaches, thermal features, jungles and adjacent islands, like
Denarau with its manicured resorts,
designer suites and heavenly pools,
make this the perfect place to start a
Fijian holiday.
Radisson Blu Resort, Denarau – On ten acres of
beach frontage and tropical landscaped gardens;
offers the award-winning Kids Koro program.
Westin Denarau – Experience authentic culture
with activities, shows, and music; also enjoy watersports and a free boat trip to secluded Akuilau Island.
Anantara Veli Resort, Maldives – Glorious setting
replete with bright white sand; stay in an overwater
bungalow and view sea life in the azure water below.
Sheraton Maldives Full Moon Resort & Spa –
Beautiful decor, in sync with the idyllic setting on a
turquoise lagoon; with spa, watersports and more.
The Maldives
Right at the equator for true year-round
sunny weather, the Maldives are 87
islands of pure bliss. Clear and warm
waters are perfect for diving and
snorkeling. The islands are very close
to each other, making island-hopping
easy. It’s fun to get around by boat,
when your journey is the destination.
The Cook Islands
These 15 remote islands in the Pacific
are located in an area of the South
Pacific the size of western Europe.
The main island, Rarotonga, is where
most visitors stay. Hike the lush green
mountains, relax on the beach, snorkel
with the brightest fish you’ve ever
seen, sway to the rhythms and relax.
No traffic lights here — take a bus
around the one road and explore.
