8 Pristine Beach Destinations You Deserve a Getaway To

The Maldives

A tiny tropical nation in the Indian Ocean, the Maldives are a string of atolls ringed by lagoons, reefs, and of course, beaches. In terms of the best beaches, this is one of the more luxurious destinations you can choose from.

There are nearly 1,200 islands in the Maldives, and almost all of them have sand as soft and white as vanilla gelato, while the water surrounding the islands seems almost luminously blue. The bright colors and near perfection of each of the islands make these some of the best beaches on the planet.

To top things off, each luxury resort takes up its own exclusive island, so you will feel like you are in a completely private world.
