Almost everybody loves to spend some quiet moment at the beach, the serenity it brings help soothe tired body and mind, others just love to escape from the grueling hit of the sun in the city, with  aquamarine water, therapeutic environment and powdery sand, beaches obviously guarantee a temporary solitude to everyone.Some of the best tropical getaways and romantic beaches in the world are often expensive, while saving enough money to afford these luxuries, for the mean time, let’s take a look on the fabulous resorts voted by international travelers as the best!

The Mystical Beaches of GREECE!

Greece is one of the most spectacular countries in the world to consider when it comes to traveling. This fascinating country in Europe facing the Mediterranean Sea is composed of several islands with romantic and dreamy beaches. Santorini, Myconos, Crete, Piraeus are just some of Greece breathtaking islands. Voted by the Blue Flag Campaign (BFC) as the country with the second-highest number of clean and well-maintained beaches in the world, Greek islands and beach resorts accomplished the criteria of BFC which include water quality, environmental management safety and fabulous beach surroundings.

AO PHRA NANG BEACH, THAILAND 

Voted number one in the msbnc survey of world's spectacular beaches, Ao Phra Nang Beach in Thailand is a picturesque beach resort, once dubbed as as “Phuket 10 years ago,” the secluded beaches and resorts surrounding the Thai port town of Krabi remain, for the time being, far less trodden than those of its famous island neighbor, some 100 miles to the west. Accessible only by longtail boat from Krabi or from the more frequented beach resort of Ao Nang, the far-flung headland of Laem Phra Nang, or Railay (also called Rai Leh) Beach, is our preferred destination, thanks to its stunning surroundings of karst cliffs (making it popular with rock climbers), lush jungle, and the warm waters of the emerald Andaman Sea. Here, four neighboring white-sand beaches unfold, of which Ao Phra Nang Beach is the most secluded with its snorkeling-friendly reefs, soft sands, and singular luxury hotel. Visitors are free to relax in relative solitude, or to seek out adventure with a swim to “Happy Island,” just offshore, or by poking about in Tham Prah Nang Cave at the cliff’s base. Go now before it’s discovered by the masses.

Baía de Sancho, Brazil 

Red-tinged sands and turquoise-trimmed shores define this pristine bay, which unfolds on the main and only inhabited island of Fernando de Noronha, an Atlantic archipelago off of Brazil’s northeastern coast. Protected as an UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site and a national marine park, the ecological sanctuary of this secluded beach and its environs can be explored in near solitude, thanks to strict restrictions on commercial development and controlled visitation. The few visitors who do access the isle are thinned out even further by the precarious approach to the remote Baía de Sancho, which entails climbing down a cliff face along a series of ladders (although the faint of heart can arrange to arrive by boat on snorkeling or diving excursions). The waters here thrive with an array of marine life, from live coral to manta rays and sea turtles to dolphins. Just be sure to pack provisions, as there will be no bars, peddlers, or the like on these isolated shores.
