1. HOTEL ROMAZZINO Costa Smeralda, Sardinia
Overlooking Costa Smeralda’s rugged coastline, Hotel Romazzino is an exclusive and wonderfully remote white-walled sanctuary. Sail onto its private white sands to find paradise.
2. MAXX ROYAL KEMER RESORT Turkey
This is one big, glossy paradise: star-chef menus; champagne-soaked pool parties; all-white sunbeds; and spas where you can recover from indulging at one (or more) of the six different restaurants. Maxx Royal, an all-inclusive resort on the Anatolian coastline, can’t be beaten. After dark, the party moves round the bay to the resort’s secret beach bar, Black Diamond: it's a slick lounge carved into the rocks that hosts hedonistic, dancing-under-the-stars nights.
3. SANTA MARINA Mykonos, Greece
Set on the only privately owned beach on Mykonos, Santa Marina’s iconic Buddha-Bar Beach restaurant is the island’s coolest coastline spot. The atmosphere evolves during the course of the day, but it’s at sunset that the scene truly comes alive. The world’s top DJs spin the best music, keeping the energy alive late into the night.
