Luxury beach holidays

Bare feet on warm sand, a gentle breeze and the murmur of waves breaking on the shore: beach holidays are the essence of summer for kids and adults alike. Treat yourselves to a private villa or hotel near the beach for the easiest, most indulgent summer holiday ever. Whether you prefer find sand or smooth pebbles, sunbeds and beach bars or wild and natural, you'll find your perfect spot in our collection of beachfront villas, beachfront hotels and villas near the beach.


 WHICH IS THE BEST BEACH HOLIDAY FOR YOU?

Beachfront Villas

Walking out from your villa and onto the beach is a unique privilege. Be the first to leave footprints in the freshness of a new day, and as the sun climbs higher you can flit back and forth between the beach and your villa, a god-send if you have young kids needing snacks and naps. Relax into blissful hours filled with sunbathing, reading and gazing at the ever-changing moods and colours of the sea, or get out on the water with a paddleboard, windsurf or motor boat. Evenings bring stunning sunsets, burnishing the water in bronze, silver and gold as the sky fades to the midnight blue of a soft Mediterranean evening. 

Villas near the Beach

If you need your beach fix but also a higher level of privacy, take a look at our wide range of villas near the beach. These private villas are less than 15 minutes’ walk or a short drive from the coast, tucked away for a more intimate experience yet super-convenient for reaching the beach. Most of our luxury villas near the beach sit high above the sea, guaranteeing the most breath-taking views over pristine coves and deep blue bays. Being a few minutes away from the front line beach villas means you’re likely to get more outdoor space just for you, with a private pool and terrace for sunbathing and a garden for the kids to play in.

Beachfront Hotels

For an extra level of pampering, choose a beach hotel to combine the barefoot luxury of beach life with exceptional service, making your holiday experience even more special. We've got beach hotels with watersports, beach hotels with children's activities for easy family holidays and romantic beach hotels for couples, with a bar and restaurant on site so you can spend the whole day relaxing by the water. Want to unwind some more? Try a beach hotel with spa facilities for the ultimate restorative beach holiday. Discover our beach hotels for families and couples and unleash the magical powers of the sea.
