You are tired and need to take a couple of weeks off? Just imagine the hot sand between your toes, a cool breeze coming in off the sea, and the warmth of the tropical sun on your skin. Best of all, imagine leaving your watch and mobile phone locked away in your hotel safe. Imagine taking a shower just after lying in the sun. This is the pleasure of staying in a beach hotel.
A beach hotel is an ideal place to relax. You can book a room overlooking an ocean or a sea and enjoy a lovely view. A beach hotel usually has an outstanding location - tropical plants growing everywhere, easy walking distance to town/restaurants, beautiful strip of beach with safe swimming, easy access to water sports.
Sports complex may include sailing, wind-surfing, water skiing, jet skis, water scooters, boating and scuba-diving. Besides, modern beach hotels have a swimming pool that is great for small kids. Tennis and badminton is also a pleasure on the beach. You'll enjoy having a meal at a beachside restaurant, listening to the sound of waves and feeling a touch of cool breeze on your skin. Fantastic!
In the evening you can have a walk along the coast and view magnificent sunsets. You can also explore ruins of ancient, cosmopolitan cultures if you go to Greece to Mykonos beaches. This stunningly beautifully islands have lots of archaeological treasures. Delos, Santorini and Naxos are the best choice to catch glimpses of the dawn of Western civilization. On Santorini, for instance, you may visit the ancient Minoan town Akrotiri, perfectly preserved by ash from a volcanic eruption. Crypt, the biggest island in Greece with ancient culture and history, is claimed to have the softest and the healthiest climate in Europe.
Most people visit the beach to catch some sun, but if you want something unusual, go to Puerto Rico and visit Bioluminescent Bay or Mosquito Bay on a moonless night. The curious, natural green light created by bioluminescent microorganisms in the water is unforgettable.
Beaches represent nature at its most accessibly intriguing; they are dynamic-always changing. Sand is in constant flux, propelled by the energy of waves. And the beach experience is sensual, all rhythm, salt air, openness, and crashing waves. That's the reason to choose a beach hotel when going on a holiday; enjoy the sun and the sand within easy reach of all modern conveniences.
