THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BEACHES IN THE WORLD

A good beach is well spent on me. Art and culture are indispensable during any vacation, but lying flat on the sand for seven days is something I do without any effort. Still looking for the perfect level lounging spot? Then consider one of the following beaches.

Rarotonga

The main island of the Cook Islands, but still incredibly small. About a three-hour flight from Auckland in New Zealand and with a climate that still shows 25 degrees on the thermometer even in winter, this is a beloved vacation spot for Kiwis, and they are here in abundance. Rarotonga is as round as a pancake with a high mountain in the middle and almost impassable jungle, and around it, you find one beautiful paradise beach after another. For those who are not so handy with public transport, this island is a real blessing. There are two buses, one is called ‘clockwise’ and the other, indeed, ‘anticlockwise.’ You can't miss it.

The Hamptons

Every girl wants to go to the Hamptons because we all have a TV and all our TV heroines, from Carrie and Samantha to Blair and Serena, go to the Hamptons. The incredible binge series Revenge is even entirely about (and set in) the Hamptons. The beach spot for rich New Yorkers and opportunistic wannabes, with houses as big as your hometown and parties so legendary that My Super Sweet Sixteen pales in comparison. Of course, you want to go to the Hamptons! And I'm coming with you.
