Not every great beach holiday needs a long-haul flight. Some of the most relaxing coastlines are a short hop away, if you know where to look. Here are five of our team’s favourites. (Sample article. Replace with your own content.)
1. A quiet fishing-village bay
Soft sand, gentle waves and family-run shacks serving the day’s catch. Stay in a heritage homestay and spend your mornings kayaking through the mangroves.
2. A cliff-top hideaway
Red laterite cliffs drop to secluded coves reachable only on foot. Perfect for couples looking for sunsets without the crowds.

3. An island day trip
Take a short ferry to a car-free island with coral reefs, snorkelling and simple beach cafés.
“The best beach is the one where you can hear the waves, not the crowds.”
