The Maldives (pronounced mal-deevs), a group of islands in the Indian ocean, is one paradise that largely caters to luxury beach vacations.
Most resorts are on their own secluded island and aim to offer the best services to luxury travelers.
This is probably one of those places to go when your vacation is largely confined to lazy days by the beach or exploring the vast seas as traveling between islands can be a bit of a hassle and observing local culture and lifestyle is largely limited to day trips.
Fiji
Fiji is a group of 300 islands which are mostly nature reserves. Its is also a beautiful place to chill out and experience the local culture.
The Fijians are by reputation a very friendly bunch of people and always more than happy to include you in their century old ceremonies.
Hawaii offers beach travelers some of the world’s best beach destinations.
Waikiki beach in Honolulu is probably the country’s most famous beach. However, there are a lot of other quieter beaches around. Kaanapali Beach in the Western side of Maui is one of Hawaii’s more beautiful exotic beaches.
Zihuatanejo, Mexico
Even the sound of this place is exotic, isn’t it? Zihuatanejo is about 156 miles from Acapulco and is on the Mexican Riviera.
A small protected bay in a fishing community on Mexico’s pacific coast, Zihuatanejo is occassionally frequented by cruise ships. It is not only an excellent place for deep sea fishing, but also contains pristine beaches and eco-sanctuaries.
Seychelles, Africa
The Seychelles, North of Madagascar, is another exotic destination that doesn’t cater to mass large-scale tourism.
This is a place for luxury travelers. The price that you pay to be in this tropical paradise is very much worth your money though.
The beaches in this secluded archipelago are some of the world’s best.
Capetown, South Africa
Cape town, also called the Mother city, has beautiful sandy beaches and charming fishing villages. In addition to South africa’s exotic culture, Cape Town’s beaches not only have a long stretch of sand but also opportunites for some excellent surfing, dude.
Dubai is The Middle East’s equivalent to a bohemian lifestyle: liquor is surprisingly allowed in some restaurants, and the people’s favorite past time is shopping.
What makes this city even more alluring is that the beach is just a few walks away from all that the metropolis has to offer. World famous Jumeirah beach is where the Burj Al Arab is located—the world’s first and only 7 star hotel.
