Papagayo Beach

We like our beaches peaceful and quiet, but if you’re a bit more into the family-meets-happy-hour-holiday, than Papagayo Beach Club is your thing. Comfortable sun beds, parasols and a pool-style beach make this the ultimate tropical set-up. Cool down in the...

Santa Barbara Beach and Golf Resort

We just got back from an amazing trip to Curacao. When you dream of the Caribbean you probably have a whole line-up of cliché images in your mind: the azure blue sea. Warm winds rustling the palm trees. Soft sandy beaches. Colorful houses. And probably your self –...

Tanjung Rhu, Langkawi

Resorts can be a little to touristy sometimes, but if chosen well and during the low season they are the best go-to-places to relax. Tanjung Rhu on Langkawi, Malaysia is such a place. The beach is Amazing with a capital A and almost feels biblical. Let me explain: some 100...
