Lizard Island – the Great Barrier Reef

Anvaya Beach Resort – Bali
Anvaya Beach Resort is located in the center of Kuta, a destination on the Island of the Gods. But the island isn’t the only thing of the gods…
The word “anvaya” is derived from Sanskrit and means connection. The resort strives to build a strong connection with its guests, so that it feels like a home away from home. Did we mention this resort is in Bali?!
Experience authentic Balinese culture, traditions, and experiences in the area, and enjoy modern and luxurious amenities at the resort. Check out the Sakanti Spa and bring the kids to the Anvaya Kids Club.
Relax in the pool, learn traditional Balinese dancing, and have a few drinks.
Koa Kea Hotel & Resort at Po’ipu Beach – Hawaii
This resort was named the #1 Resort in Kauai in 2018 and named the #1 Resort in Hawaii in 2017 in Travel + Leisure. Sounds pretty freaking awesome to us.
Choose from garden view rooms or ocean view rooms. Then savor delicious seafood from Red Salt, the resort’s award-winning restaurant. Coconut Curry Shrimp Bisque and Madagascar vanilla bean-seared Mahi both have our mouths watering and our bellies grumbling.
Relax in the spa and enjoy facials, massages, waxing, wraps, and traditional Hawaiian rituals like the Signature Aloha ‘Aina Ritual, a cleansing and moisturizing ritual.
Additional activities include surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, zip lining, kayaks, Catamarans, helicopter tours, and whale watching. Maybe you’d rather just wade in the water and take in the sea breeze.
Inn by the Sea – Maine
A beach resort doesn’t always mean traveling across the world to an exotic beach. Sometimes, there’s some really kickass places right in our backyard. Check out Inn by the Sea in Maine.
Maine, known for it’s incredible seafood, happens to have a fantastic beach resort too. The resort is pet-friendly and even offers fun amenities for your furry friends like a 30-minute in-room doggie message and selections from the gourmet pet menu. You and your furry friends will be livin’ it up!
The Inn by the Sea offer spa packages that include massages, facials, scrubs, and scalp rituals. Sit back, relax, and say ahhhhhhh.
Montage Laguna Beach, California
Laguna Beach should be your next stop. At the heart of Southern California lies Montage Beach Resort, on a coastal bluff high above the Pacific. The views are not the only breathtaking thing about this place.
Each of the 250 rooms features incredible ocean views, craftsman-style architecture, and museum-quality art. Guests have opportunities to enjoy the 20,000 square foot spa, gourmet dining, two onsite pool decks, and other amenities.
Laguna Beach is a gorgeous California beach, probably not the first beach that comes to mind when you think beach resort – which is why you should consider it for your next trip. Rather than an island feel, you’ll get the beachy California feel – coastal, cozy, cool. #cowabungababy 🌴
