27 Chilled-Out Beach Destinations Around the Globe

There are many factors that play a part in finding the perfect beach. To some, this may mean turquoise waters with snow-like sand, while for others, the most epic beaches may be secluded and have a rocky coastline, with pebbles in the water. Some prefer beach bars and music, while others like peace & quiet.

To each, their own beach!

We’ve personally travelled to all of these beaches, and all 27 of them (in no particular order) are awesome places to soak up some rays, chill-out, and enjoy the sand and sea.

1. Morne Rouge Beach (BBC Beach), Grenada

One for the “home” team! We’ve now lived in Grenada for almost a year and love it for many reasons, but one of the best things about living in this West Indies island is that it is fringed by stunning beaches.

Morne Rouge is pristine, and is always quiet. There are a couple of hotels, some residential homes and a handful of small restaurants. Almond trees provide excellent shade, the sand is soft and the sea is perfectly calm. This is our favourite beach in Grenada for sure!

2. Gili Trawangan, Indonesia

There are three Gili Islands, and Gili “T” is the most developed of the three. Apart from lounging on the white sand, you can climb up the only hill on the island to enjoy sunset, go scuba diving and snorkelling or circumnavigate the island on foot.

3. Holbox Island, Mexico

This is definitely an underrated place in Mexico. While most people are heading to Playa del Carmen, Cancun and Puerto Vallarta, you should head here and have the whole island basically to yourself.

The Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean…
