Kea

From the pink beaches of Bermuda to the iconic Santa Monica pier in California, to the golden shores of Bali or the pristine sands of the United Arab Emirates, it’s easy to find plenty of idyllic beaches to escape to all year-round. However, soaking up the sun in some of the most spectacular beaches around the world can be made a little more luxurious and relaxing with a stay at one of these amazing resorts:

Caribbean – Barbados

Set along Barbados’ Platinum Coast, Fairmont Royal Pavilion stretches in front of a pristine beach, regarded as the most beautiful and exclusive in Barbados. In addition to sunbathing and enjoying an array of water activities such as windsurfing, guests can partake in traditional Afternoon Tea at the resort’s al fresco Taboras Restaurant, overlooking the beach, as they embrace the island’s English heritage and this centuries-old tradition.

Caribbean – Bermuda

The luxurious Fairmont Southampton is perched on Bermuda’s stunning south shore, providing you with access to miles of pink sand beaches dotted with towering coconut palms. The resort’s private beach club, available exclusively to hotel guests, sits in a secluded cove and offers amenities such as plush beach cabanas. You can curl up in one of the beach club’s chaise lounges and enjoy cocktails and bites from the Cabana Bar & Grill. You can also stroll along the world-famous Horseshoe Bay Beach, a curved stretch of pink sand that connects to South Shore beach, located steps away from the beach club.

Caribbean – Bermuda

The beach club of Hamilton Princess & Beach Club is the latest hotspot in Bermuda. Located a short drive from the resort—accessible via hotel shuttle—and exclusive to hotel guests, the private beach club offers a serene getaway from the bustle of Hamilton and provides relaxation with land or water hammocks and a dose of fun with activities including snorkeling.
