What’s your idea of the perfect holiday? Riding across the majestic savannah in Kenya? Enjoying exclusive access to a Buddhist ceremony in a remote Bhutanese monastery? Or just sitting on a beach having a well-earned rest from the rigours of daily life back home?
Let's face it, scratching beneath the surface of a foreign culture or pushing your body to its physical limits is all well and good, but some old fashioned R&R on a white sand and palm-fringed beach, pina colada and Kindle in hand is hard to beat. Well, maybe not the pina colada bit.
Below are our favourite peachy beachy destinations, in countries around the world so you could - in theory, and bank balance/holiday entitlement allowing - enjoy some beach action in every month of the year.
