CHOOSE the beautiful Bahamas, where the nightlife is as amazing as the beaches. Or, opt for Barbados, where colonial-era buildings add charming flavor. Imbued with the spirit of reggae — and offering great outdoor activities, Jamaica is always a great choice. The Bahamas Of all the Bahamian islands, with their heavenly beaches, Nassau is especially lively. Georgian-style buildings intrigue travelers and duty-free shops abound. On Paradise Island, family-friendly resorts and beautiful views abound. Freeport (Grand Bahama Island) has everything — lovely beaches, golf, shopping, boating, nightlife and more. Barbados Combining culture and beach, Barbados offers a diverse experience. Enjoy colonial buildings, shopping and restaurants in Bridgetown. Downtown to the Garrison is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The mile-long beach road in St. Lawrence is lined with fun restaurants and shops. St. Peter is home to fishing villages, a wildlife reserve, plus diving spots. Upscale St. James delights with its excellent dining, and golf courses. Graycliff, Nassau – Historic boutique property with award-winning restaurant and its own cigar company.

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. 4 • St. Lucia Puerto Rico 4 Beach/Waterfront 77 Room only • • Windjammer Landing Villa Beach Resort 4 Beach/Waterfront 158 All-inclusive • • • Marigot Capella Marigot Bay 5 Beach/Waterfront 124 Room & Breakfast • • • Gros Islet Bay Gardens Beach Resort 4 Beach/Waterfront 76 Room & Breakfast • • • Calabash Cove 5 Beach/Waterfront 26 All-inclusive • Soufriere Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort 5 Beach/Waterfront 79 Room only • Vieux Fort Coconut Bay Resort & Spa Hotel 4 Beach/Waterfront 250 All-inclusive • San Juan Condado Lagoon Villas at Caribe Hilton 3 Central 264 Room only • • Hilton Ponce Golf Casino Resort 3 Beach/Waterfront 254 Room only • • • Caribe Hilton 4 Beach/Waterfront 812 Room only • • • InterContinental 4 Beach/Waterfront 379 Room & Breakfast • • The Condado Plaza Hilton 4 Central 571 Room only • Sheraton Puerto Rico 4 Central 225 Room only • • Embassy Suites Dorado Del Mar 4 Beach/Waterfront 174 Room only • • • • • San Juan Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino 4 Beach/Waterfront 525 Room only • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • El San Juan Hotel & Casino 5 Beach/Waterfront 382 Room only • • Ritz-Carlton San Juan 5 Beach/Waterfront 416 Room only • • • Dorado Dorado Beach, A Ritz-Carlton Reserve 5 Beach/Waterfront 114 Room only • • • Fajardo El Conquistador, A Waldorf Astoria Resort 4 Beach/Waterfront 750 Room & Breakfast • • • Las Casitas Village, A Waldorf Astoria Resort 4 Beach/Waterfront 750 Room only • • Wyndham Grand Rio Mar Beach Resort 4 Beach/Waterfront 400 Room only • • • • St. Regis Bahia Beach Resort 5 Beach/Waterfront 139 Room only • • W Retreat & Spa Vieques Island 4 Beach/Waterfront 156 Room only • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Carolina Vieques • • • Tennis • Royal by Rex Resorts Golf • Spa • Fitness Center • Labrelotte Rio Grande Watersports • Scuba Diving • Nightclub or Disco All-inclusive Kids’ Club Room Service 150 Free Wi-Fi Outdoor Pool Beach/Waterfront Elevator # Rooms 3 Wheelchair Accessible Location Castries Meal Basis Stars St Lucian by Rex Resorts Hotels • • • • • • • • • • • Log on to our website for more hotels on these islands.

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. 6 Combine beach + city Delight clients by mixing it up: combine a trip to Cancun with a cultural sojourn to Guadalajara or Mexico City — with hotels and sightseeing from Travel Bound.

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. 8 All-inclusive • 400 All-inclusive • • Sandos Caracol Select Club 5 Beach/Waterfront 214 All-inclusive • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Sandos Caracol Eco Resort 5 Beach/Waterfront 956 All-inclusive Occidental Grand Xcaret 5 Beach/Waterfront 769 All-inclusive • • Occidental Royal Hideaway Playacar (adults only) 5 Beach/Waterfront 200 All-inclusive • • • Fairmont Mayakoba Riviera Maya 5 Beach/Waterfront 401 Room only • • • • • Grand Hyatt Playa Del Carmen 5 Beach/Waterfront 314 Room only • • • • Bel Air Resort & Spa Riviera Maya 5 Beach/Waterfront 464 All-inclusive • • Grand Palladium White Sand 5 Beach/Waterfront 264 All-inclusive • Grand Palladium Riviera 5 Beach/Waterfront 324 All-inclusive • Grand Palladium Kantenah 5 Beach/Waterfront 422 All-inclusive • Grand Palladium Colonial 5 Beach/Waterfront 414 All-inclusive • Fiesta Americana Villas Acapulco 5 Beach/Waterfront 489 Room only Las Brisas Acapulco 5 Beach/Waterfront 263 Room & Breakfast • • Crowne Plaza Acapulco 5 Central 506 Room only • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Tennis 539 Beach/Waterfront Golf Beach/Waterfront 5 • Spa 5 Sandos Playacar Beach Resort • • Fitness Center Grand Velas Riviera Maya • Watersports • Scuba Diving • Room only Nightclub or Disco All-inclusive 41 Kids’ Club 282 Beach/Waterfront Free Wi-Fi Beach/Waterfront 4 Elevator 4 Viceroy Riviera Maya Wheelchair Accessible Puerto Vallarta Outdoor Pool # Rooms Acapulco Room Service Location Playa del Carmen Meal Basis Stars Occidental Allegro Playacar Hotels • • • • • • • Quinta Real 5 Central 74 Room only • • • • Best Western Plus Suites Puerto Vallarta 3 Beach/Waterfront 116 Room only • • • • Fiesta Americana Puerto Vallarta 4 Beach/Waterfront 291 All-inclusive • • Krystal Vallarta 5 Beach/Waterfront 250 All-inclusive • • • Occidental Grand Nuevo Vallarta 5 Beach/Waterfront 274 All-inclusive • • Royal Suites Punta de Mita by Palladium (adults only) 5 Beach/Waterfront 100 All-inclusive • • Hard Rock Vallarta 5 Beach/Waterfront 348 All-inclusive • • Grand Palladium Vallarta Resort 5 Beach/Waterfront 421 All-inclusive • • St. Regis Punta Mita Resort 5 Beach/Waterfront 300 Room only • • Casa Magna Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa 5 Beach/Waterfront 433 Room only • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Log on to our website for more hotels.

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. 10 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.

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. 12 Clients taking a cruise? Cruises depart Fort Lauderdale daily for the Caribbean, Mexico and beyond, making it perfect for pre- or post-cruise stays.

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.

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.

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. 16 Fitness Center Beach/Waterfront 236 Room only • • Kaanapali Beach 3 Beach/Waterfront 430 Room only • • Aston Mahana 3 Beach/Waterfront 140 Room only • Aston Kaanapali Shores 3 Beach/Waterfront 463 Room only • • • • Whaler on Kaanapali 4 Beach/Waterfront 360 Room only • • • • Sheraton Maui Resort 4 Beach/Waterfront 508 Room only • Westin Kaanapali Ocean Villas 4 Beach/Waterfront 1021 Room only • Royal Lahaina 3 Beach/Waterfront 441 Room only • Honua Kai Resort 4 Beach/Waterfront 628 Room only • Montage Kapalua Bay 5 Beach/Waterfront 50 Room only • • • Ritz-Carlton Kapalua 5 Beach/Waterfront 548 Room only • • • Polo Beach Club 3 Beach/Waterfront 71 Room only • Makena Beach & Golf Resort 4 Beach/Waterfront 310 Room only • • • • Wailea Beach Marriott Resort 4 Beach/Waterfront 521 Room only • • • • Outrigger Palms at Wailea 4 Outside Center 150 Room only • Ho’olei at Grand Wailea 5 Beach/Waterfront 120 Room only • • • The Fairmont Kea Lani Maui 5 Beach/Waterfront 450 Room & Breakfast • • • Kauai Beach Resort 4 Beach/Waterfront 350 Room only • • • Kauai Marriott Resort on Kalapaki Beach 4 Beach/Waterfront 345 Room only • • Marriott Kaua’i Beach Club 4 Beach/Waterfront 345 Room only • • Outrigger Kiahuna Plantation 3 Beach/Waterfront 333 Room only • Koloa Landing at Poipu Beach 4 Central 85 Room only • • St. Regis 5 Beach/Waterfront 252 Room only • • Lahaina Maui Kapalua Wailea Lihue Kauai Poipu Beach Princeville • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Tennis 3 Golf Outrigger Royal Kahana Spa Kaanapali Watersports • Scuba Diving • Nightclub or Disco Room only Kids’ Club Room Service 70 Free Wi-Fi Outdoor Pool Beach/Waterfront Elevator # Rooms 4 Wheelchair Accessible Location Travaasa Hana Meal Basis Stars Hana Hotels • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Log on to our website for more hotels on Maui and Kauai, and see the next page for hotels in Honolulu and the Big Island.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. • MS Maestranza Malaga 4 Central 84 Room & Breakfast • Guadalmina Spa & Golf 4 Beach/Waterfront 177 Room & Dinner • Senator Marbella Spa Hotel 4 Central 185 Room & Breakfast • Guadalpin Banus 5 Central 181 Room & Breakfast • Don Carlos Leisure Resort & Spa 5 Beach/Waterfront 243 Room & Dinner Los Monteros Marbella Hotel & Spa 5 Beach/Waterfront 172 Hotel Puente Romano 5 Beach/Waterfront Roc Flamingo 3 Roc Lago Rojo • • • • • • • • Room & Dinner • • 285 Room & Breakfast • • Beach/Waterfront 243 Room & Dinner • 4 Beach/Waterfront 144 Room & Dinner Melia Costa Del Sol 4 Central 540 Room & Dinner • Argos 4 Beach/Waterfront 106 Room & Breakfast Torre Del Mar 4 Beach/Waterfront 217 Tropicana Ibiza Coast Suites (adults only) 4 Beach/Waterfront Santa Eulalia del Rio Aguas De Ibiza 5 Palma de Mallorca Melia Palas Atenea Costa del Sol • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Room & Breakfast • • • • 28 Room & Breakfast • Beach/Waterfront 112 Room & Breakfast • • 4 Central 353 Room only • • Ur Portofino 4 Beach/Waterfront 70 Room & Breakfast • Palma Nova Son Caliu 4 Beach/Waterfront 221 Room & Breakfast • Illetas Riu Palace Bonanza Playa Hotel 4 Beach/Waterfront 285 Room & Breakfast Illes Balears Jumeirah Port Soller 5 Beach/Waterfront 120 Room only Ibiza Mallorca • • • • • Ibiza Town • • • Torremolinos • Golf Room & Breakfast • Tennis 105 Spa Beach/Waterfront Fitness Center 4 Watersports Vincci Malaga Scuba Diving Room & Dinner Nightclub or Disco 198 Kids’ Club Elevator Beach/Waterfront Free Wi-Fi Room Service 4 Wheelchair Accessible Outdoor Pool Meal Basis # Rooms • Location Marbella • Stars Malaga • Tryp Guadalmar Hotels • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Log on to our website for more hotels.

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.

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. 34 Spa • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Room & Breakfast • • • • • • 148 Room & Dinner • • • 354 All-inclusive • • • 465 All-inclusive • • • Crowne Plaza Antalya 5 Central 194 Room & Breakfast • • • • Ramada Plaza Antalya 5 Central 241 All-inclusive • • • • Titanic Beach Lara 5 Beach/ Waterfront 586 All-inclusive • • • • • • Sealife Family Resort Hotel 5 Beach/ Waterfront 240 All-inclusive • • • • • Sherwood Breezes Resort 5 Beach/ Waterfront 499 All-inclusive • Le Bleu Hotel & Resort 5 Beach/ Waterfront 263 All-inclusive • • • Kusadasi Golf & Spa Resort 5 Outside Center 750 All-inclusive • • Grand Yazici Bodrum 4 Central 96 Room & breakfast/ lunch/dinner • Swissotel Resort Bodrum Beach 5 Beach/ Waterfront 66 Room & Breakfast Ramada Resort Bodrum 5 Central 129 Kempinski Barbaros Bay 5 Beach/ Waterfront Rixos Premium Bodrum 5 Central Nightclub or Disco Central Kids’ Club 5 Free Wi-Fi Barut Lara Wheelchair Accessible • Meal Basis • • • • • • • • • • Tennis Fitness Center • • Golf Watersports • All-inclusive Scuba Diving • Elevator • Room Service • Outdoor Pool • 401 # Rooms Bodrum • Central Location Turkey Kusadasi • 5 Stars Antalya • Concorde De Luxe Hotels • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Log on to our website for more hotels in these destinations.

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. 36 Finishing Touch Book our Dubai Airport Lounge Pass, and give your clients a relaxing departure experience including special amenities.

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. 4 Central 37 Room only • Oaks Lagoons 4 Central 130 Room only • Rendezvous Reef Resort Port Douglas 4 Central 285 Room & Breakfast • Mantra Portsea 4 Beach/ Waterfront 142 Room only • Villa San Michele 4 Central 40 Room only • • Mantra Heritage 4 Central 40 Room only • • Tennis Ramada Resort Port Douglas Golf • Spa Room only Fitness Center 36 Watersports Central Scuba Diving 3 Nightclub or DIcso Port Douglas Retreat Kids’ Club Free Wi-Fi Elevator Wheelchair Accessible Room Service Outdoor Pool Meal Basis # Rooms Location Stars Port Douglas Hotels • • • • • • • • • • • The Beach Terraces 4 Central 20 Room only • • Bay Villas Resort 4 Central 60 Room only • • Reef Club Resort 4 Central 59 Room only • Regal Port Douglas 4 Central 47 Room only • • Freestyle Resort 4 Central 31 Room only • • Shantara Resort Port Douglas 4 Central 54 Room only • Paradise Links Resort 4 Outside Center 56 Room only • Meridian 4 Central 35 Room only • • Cayman Villas 4 Central 40 Room only • • Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments 5 Central 41 Room only • Niramaya Villas & Spa 5 Outside Center 53 Room only • Pullman Sea Temple Resort & Spa Port Douglas 5 Beach/ Waterfront 194 Room only • • Peppers Beach Club 5 Beach/ Waterfront 100 Room only • Sheraton Mirage Port Douglas Resort 5 Beach/ Waterfront 294 Room only Thala Beach Nature Reserve 5 Beach/ Waterfront 83 QT Port Douglas 5 Central 170 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Room only • • Room & Breakfast • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Log on to our website for more hotels in Port Douglas.

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. 46 Fitness Center Watersports Scuba Diving Room Service • • • • Xanadu Main Beach 4 Outside Center 60 Room only • • • • Crowne Plaza Surfers Paradise 4 Beach/Waterfront 374 Room only • • • • • • Outrigger Surfers Paradise 4 Central 404 Room & Breakfast • • • • • • Sofitel Gold Coast Broadbeach 5 Central 297 Room only • • • • • Hilton Hotel 5 Central 169 Room only • • • • • QT Gold Coast 5 Central 297 Room & Breakfast • • • • • Sheraton Mirage Resort & Spa 5 Beach/Waterfront 295 Room only • • • • Jupiters Hotel & Casino 5 Beach/Waterfront 592 Room & Breakfast • • • Palazzo Versace 5 Outside Center 232 Room & Breakfast • • • Soul Surfers Paradise 5 Beach/Waterfront 104 Room only • • • InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort 5 Outside Center 243 Room & Breakfast • • Reef View Hotel 4 Beach/Waterfront 363 Room only • • Beach Club 5 Beach/Waterfront 57 Room & Breakfast • • Holloways Beach Australis Cairns Beach Resort 4 Beach/Waterfront 73 Room only • Kewarra Beach Kewarra Beach Resort & Spa 4 Beach/Waterfront 44 Room & Breakfast • Palm Cove Paradise on the Beach 4 Beach/Waterfront 34 Room only • The Reef House Palm Cove 5 Beach/Waterfront 69 Room & Breakfast • • Alamanda Palm Cove by Lancemore 5 Beach/Waterfront 60 Room only • • Coral Sands Beachfront Resort 4 Beach/Waterfront 32 Room only • Hamilton Island Trinity Beach • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Tennis Room only Golf 40 • Spa Beach/Waterfront Nightclub or DIcso 4 Kids’ Club • Free Wi-Fi Room only Wheelchair Accessible 74 Elevator Meal Basis Outdoor Pool # Rooms Outside Center Location 3 Stars Aruba Beach Resort The Sebel Coolangatta Gold Coast Hotels • Log on to our website for more hotels.

Crocodiles 47 INDONESIA 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. 48 Mix it up Pair a beach stay with cultural experiences in Ubud to the north. Visit our website for hotels in Ubud.

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.

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. 52 • • The Warwick Fiji 5 Beach/ Waterfront 248 Room & Breakfast • • • Hilton Fiji Beach Resort & Spa 5 Beach/ Waterfront 273 Room only • • Radisson Blu Resort 5 Outside Center 270 Room only, or Room & Breakfast • • Sheraton Fiji Resort 5 Beach/ Waterfront 264 Room & Breakfast • • Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa 5 Beach/ Waterfront 296 Room & Breakfast • • Westin Denarau 5 Beach/ Waterfront 268 Room & Breakfast • • • Baa Atoll Dusit Thani Maldives 5 Beach/ Waterfront 94 Room & Dinner • • • Male / Furanafushi Island Sheraton Maldives Full Moon 5 Beach/ Waterfront 156 Room & Breakfast • • Male Anantara Veli Maldives 5 Beach/ Waterfront 100 Room & Breakfast Villingili Island Shangri-La’s Villingili Resort 5 Beach/ Waterfront 142 Room & Dinner • • Rarotonga Edgewater Resort 4 Beach/ Waterfront 250 Room & Breakfast • • The Sunset Resort 4 Beach/ Waterfront 35 Room & Breakfast • Location Stars Fiji Islands Denarau Island • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • The Maldives • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Tennis • • Golf Room & Breakfast Spa 252 • Fitness Center Beach/ Waterfront • Watersports 5 • Scuba Diving Outrigger Fiji Beach Resort Nightclub or Disco • Kids’ Club • Free Wi-Fi Room & Breakfast Wheelchair Accessible Room Service 115 Elevator Outdoor Pool Beach/ Waterfront Meal Basis 3 Coral Coast # Rooms Fiji Hideaway Resort & Spa Hotels • • • • • • • Cook Islands • • • • • • • • • • • • • Log on to our website for more hotels on these islands.
