Traveling is a lot of fun, especially when you know the right places. People are always choosing the destinations that keep them in the car or plane the entire time, which actually tires them more. For this reason, we are talking about the bits of heaven known as islands and beaches.
When people think about planning an island escape, they think about Bali and Hawaii, but these are big-shot places and are too humanized now. For this reason, we are sharing the most unforgettable and unique islands and beaches!
Côn Đảo, Vietnam
Con Dao, Vietnam is known as a mini Phuket, but it has much more to offer. This place is on a one-hour flight from Ho Chi Minh, which is a chain of fifteen islands. The beaches are deserted and lined with granite cliffs, and you will instantly fall in love with the crystal clear blue water. The best part is the budget-friendly hotels, but most of them have hostel-like vibes. In fact, you can get yourself a motorbike on rent, so you can check out the remote spots, such as the hilltop lighthouse.
British Virgin Islands
This island is a perfect option for people who want a beach holiday, and it all started in 164 when Little Dix Bay resort opened. This is a serene area of Virgin Gorda, which was a go-to place for Queen Elizabeth II. In fact, when you reach there, you can go snorkeling on White Bay Beach, while Sandy Spit is a promising choice if you like sailing. In case you are a fan of wilderness, you can head to the Baths National Park, where you can check out huge boulders.
Anguilla
There are more than 33 beaches available here and you can always find a relaxing spot to relax and dip your toes in the ocean. This beach is full of sun-kissed shoes and green waters. The sound of water waves lapping on the shores will be absolute music for your years. This place is actually very versatile, as you can choose it for a family vacation, a romantic getaway, or a solo trip that rejuvenates your soul. Also, the accommodations are a fine balance of luxury and serenity.
Gili Trawangan
This is a small island located around Lombok that’s lined with surf schools and small cafes that serve the best teas and coffees. There are dive centers for people who want to dip in the sea. When here, you don’t have to worry about motorized traffic because it’s not allowed here, so you can walk wherever you want without looking at two sides of the road. While here, you can enjoy a cold beer on the beach or go diving and fishing.
If you don’t mind heading to the southern side of the coast, we recommend staying at the Pondok Santi Estate, which has the most stunning bungalows. In fact, there is a coconut plantation, so you might get fresh coconut water. Another option is to take a ferry to Mount Rinjani, which is an active volcano.
Mykonos, Greece
We all have been loving Greece for Santorini, but Mykonos is a go-to place for people who like water. This is actually a go-to place for people who want to enjoy the sun, surf, and sand. There are stunning yachts that you can jump on or lounge around in them because everyone deserves a bit of luxury and royalty. In fact, if you visit at night, you will be able to enjoy the nightclub that beams of dance. In fact, don’t forget to try out cold champagne.
Pico, Portugal
This is a part of the Azores, and it has been the go-to place for people who want seclusion and me-time. This is a remote place, and it’s been the same since the 90s, so you will love the alone time here. You can take a flight or ferry to reach here, and you will be greeted with wines. There are paved ways that take you to the lava landscapes. When you reach there, you can book a bungalow (there are six of them) and you can wake up to the views of the Atlantic.
Bermuda
The last one on our list is the thrilling Bermuda (don’t worry, you won’t vanish from the face of the earth). This place in the North Atlantic is known for its pink sand, and when it’s covered with red shells, it takes on a rosy color. In fact, if you want to enjoy the untouched spots, we recommend going to Jobson’s Cove, which has a lot of tropical fish and limestone. Also, there is the St. Regis Bermuda Resort, which has history and is located in a hilltop fortress.
Beaches and islands are perfect for nurturing your soul and rejuvenating your tired mind. We tried to mention the most exciting yet untouched places that people don’t focus on. So, which of these are you planning for?
