5X JUST ADD THESE BEACHES TO YOUR BUCKET LIST

Sand so white that your eyes almost hurt. Sand grains so soft that you don't have to think for a second about going here in a drunken state. You see; some beaches are just a little more beautiful than the rest...

1. Whitehaven, Whitsunday Islands, Australia

Yeah, duh. I have to book a ticket to Australia anyway because my sister has moved there for a year. The thought that she might park her butt on this beach only makes the urge worse. Whitehaven (off the coast of Queensland) has been voted the best beach in Australia multiple times AND I GET IT.

2. Bora Bora, French Polynesia

This island is just one big beach paradise. I just googled it again and almost had a stroke. Looking for some privacy? Bora Bora is full of private beaches. Snorkeling fan? Then head to the lagoon at Matira Beach. Oh, and if you happen to run into Justin Bieber (about a 50 percent chance, I guess), say hi for me, okay?

“In tha pocket.”

3. La Digue, Seychelles

Hey, but this is that paradisiacal place where all those filthy rich footballers take their girlfriends, right? Yep. And who can blame them? This beach is amazing. La Digue is the third largest island of the Seychelles and you trip over sea turtles, rays, and hundreds of tropical fish species. Is it vacation time again, come on?

4. Navagio, Zakynthos, Greece

Shall I get a bit cheesy? This is where Sander and I met. Well, on this island. Holiday romance! We also went to Navagio where you have a shipwreck (left behind by smugglers when they got caught). This water? Not NORMAL blue. I secretly still think it's manipulated.

5. Maho Beach, Sint Maarten

You've definitely seen this beach on YouTube. If not: mandatory here clicking, it's unbelievable). At Maho Beach in Sint Maarten, you can almost give a kiss to the planes flying by. Especially when the real big beasts from America and Europe come in, the whole beach is turned upside down. Relaxing might not be entirely possible, but bizarre Instagram shots? In tha pocket.
