Step out of your front door and straight onto the sand with these dreamy beach destinations...
Dreaming of spending several weeks (or even months) surrounded by nothing but sand, sea and sun? Perched right on the edge of the soft white sand, these dreamy villas take beachfront living to the next level. Just a few steps away from the ocean and with breathtaking sea views from every angle, these beach destinations are truly paradise on earth.
Start your day with spectacular sunrises, watching from bed as the sky and sea are painted myriad shades of gold, pink, coral and scarlet. Spend the day basking in the balmy sun, collecting shells along the icing-sugar shore or admiring the endless treasures hidden beneath the waves. Toast the day with beachside cocktails at sundown, before dining al fresco at a table set up on the soft sand. While away the rest of the evening sipping drinks and listening to music underneath the twinkling stars, before falling asleep to the calming melody of gently lapping waves. There really is nothing better than being beside the seaside - especially in these idyllic vacation spots...
