BEACH HOLIDAYS

Spending time on a beach is synonymous with a good holiday and the beaches in South and Central America are some of the best in the world. There is a beach holiday for everyone here with long, wide surfing beaches; hidden remote coves, private beaches as well as exclusive islands with sugary white sands. There is also the second longest barrier reef in the world which stretches from Cancún on the north-eastern tip of the Yucatán Peninsula through to the Riviera Maya and up to Honduras.

All of these are coupled with true beach-dream accommodation worthy of the finest holiday memories. Barefoot luxury, spa treatments, wildly beautiful beach shelters, private plunge pools and incredible underwater adventures are all on the agenda; the choice is yours. Beach accommodation style may be small, simple, chic, exclusive or all-inclusive five star luxury, depending on your preference.

BEST Beach Holidays DESTINATIONS

Belize Beaches

Belize has one of the more diverse coastlines and as such has a variety of beaches.  This is due to hurricanes which pass nearby and have blown away a lot of the beaches on the cayes.  To combat this they are generally enclosed by a low lying concrete wall to prevent erosion, although further north on San Pedro the beaches go directly into the sea.  The biggest draw to this area however is the coral reef, which is the easiest to access and has some of the best snorkelling and diving options in Central America.

Costa Rica beaches

Costa Rica seems to be synonymous with adventure and its coastline and beaches are no different.  We generally recommend the Pacific coast here as there is a greater range of hotels and a more varied landscape.  Beaches tend to be long and wide with cliffs and rocks at either end, making it a haven for beach combing and surfers.

Mexico Beaches

Mexico’s coastline is simply outstanding.  The whole of the eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula is lined with picture perfect powder white sand, making it one of the most popular beach destinations in Latin America.  On top of this there are numerous top class hotels, all of which are located directly on the beach.

Uruguay Beaches

Uruguay is so small and still relatively unknown that coming here is to get away from it all.  The coastline is home to long, wide sandy beaches with numerous activities available from surfing to horse riding along the beach. There probably isn’t quite enough to make it a destination unto itself, but due to its close proximity to Argentina and the ease with which you can get here, it makes an ideal end to any visit in Argentina.

Venezuela Beaches

Venezuela’s coastline borders the Caribbean Sea and as you would expect it has a superb run of beaches.  Distances are vast here and getting to and from some of them can be a challenge, but the pick of the bunch is the archipelago of Los Roques.  Located a 20 minute flight from Caracas, Los Roques is a hidden gem with pristine white sand beaches, brilliant diving and few tourists.

Brazil Beaches

Brazil’s coastline is the unquestionably the best in South America.  Covering an area just over 4,600 miles, almost all of which is golden white sand, means it has something for everyone.  The far north east is remote and pristine with little infrastructure and huge sand dunes, the islands off the east coast are lined with corals, whilst the far south is home to migrating southern right whales and wide open beaches.

NEED TO KNOW

Your ultimate beach choice will depend on what you want; the inspiring location, the amount of things to see and do nearby, the quietness of a given place, the kid’s club, the quality of the petal-strewn spa or the coral reef for snorkelling and diving. Either way, it really is worth talking to us, to discuss what will suit you best.

My wife and I would not consider using anyone else for arranging travel in Central and South America. Their high level of knowledge, attention to detail and personal responsiveness is almost unique within the industry.
