The Top 5 Beach Holiday Destinations in 2024
There are some amazing holiday destinations on our blue planet, including tropical paradises with spectacular beaches. In this article, we assess some of the best.
Thailand
The ancient nation once known as Siam is definitely in the top 3 of anyone’s list; beautiful islands in the south such as Koh Samui and Phuket are always packed during the high season, when many westerners flee the freezing winter. You have an array of accommodation options, from hotels and resorts to luxury pool villas and everything in between. Prices are cheaper in the low season (March to October) and many retirees decide to spend the winter in a tropical paradise such as Thailand.
Maldives
The Maldives Islands offer sumptuous luxury in a beach setting and when we say luxury, we mean a billionaire lifestyle, especially at the Maldives Kooddoo Resort where you are waited on hand and foot. Water-villas offer the ultimate experience and your luxury villa has all the mod cons including hi-speed Internet so you can make your friends jealous. You have a resident chef at your call 24/7 and a bartender who can make any cocktail you care to mention.
Bali
One of the most popular Indonesian islands, Bali has long been a favourite with Aussies and now we all know it is a magical place. Despite its popularity, there are still natural spots where you can relax and take in a stunning vista. The nightlife is top-notch, with discos and clubs where you can dance until the early morning and sleep until the following evening if that’s your thing.
Vietnam
This jewel of southeast Asia is relatively new to the world and has developed a huge fanbase with people from all parts of the world. Search the web to find out all about the many fantastic beach locations and Vietnam is very cheap; on a comparison with Thailand and Cambodia. Hoi An is a great example of a tropical beach paradise and Vietnam is home to thousands of miles of stunning coastline, which you can explore at your leisure.
Goa, India
In the 60s and 70s, Goa was a hit spot for the hippy generation and spectacular sunsets are enough of a reason to spend a few weeks in the idyllic setting. The Indian Ocean awaits those who wish to experience beachside living and the cost of living is very low. Like most tropical resorts, Goa is busy from November to March and during the rainy season, it is a quiet place. You can enjoy a unique Indian safari experience.
So, there you have it, the top 5 beach destinations that have it all; choose your favourite, book the tickets and get ready for an amazing experience. The Maldives is, for many, the ultimate destination and if you have yet to experience pure unadulterated luxury, search the web for a top Maldives resort and make your booking for the holiday of a lifetime.
