It’s that time of year again.
Time to turn your daydreams into reality and plan your summer beach getaway.
Not sure where to go? Whether you’ll be jetting away with friends, vacationing with a significant other, or embarking on a solo adventure, we’ve put together a list of fun, fresh beach vacation spots.
Bon voyage!
Playa Paraíso, Tulum, Mexico
Does ‘beach vacation’ mean ‘beach eats’ for you? Book a trip to Tulum.
Soft sand beaches, beautiful tropical flowers, and a uniquely wide array of fresh produce attracts the best chefs in the world to Tulum summer after summer. After a day at the beach, check out one of the standbys like Taqueria Honorio or Tunich for spicy fish tacos. Feeling adventurous? Go to one of this year’s summer pop up restaurants (anyone else keeping their fingers crossed for Noma Tulum 2.0?).
A beach this vibrant requires a swimsuit to match. Go for the crowd favorite Eva one-piece in Picasso.
Varadero Beach, Varadero, Cuba
Sultry, steamy, sexy, leave your heart in Havana this summer.
Cuba is the newest “old” locale for a summer escape. Indulge in your fifties fantasies and take a drive to Havana in a vintage convertible with the top down. Explore Varadero’s historic downtown and dance the night away to sultry Latin beats.
Varadero is the perfect place to answer the question: what would my life be like if I lived in another decade?
A place like Cuba demands a playful, vintage look. The flirty Bianca bandeau bikini top and the Serena bottom in Ginkgo print were actually shot in Cuba, and they fit right in!
Costa do Sauipe, Sauipe, Brazil
We couldn’t make a list of beach getaway locales without mentioning our favorite place in the world: Costa do Sauipe.
Variety is what sets Sauipe apart. Brazil is a true melting pot of cultures, languages, cuisines, and people. Practice your Portuguese while lounging on the beach during the day and make friends with a Spanish speaking bartender at night.
Word to the wise:do not show up at Costa do Sauipe in last year’s swimsuit. Brazil defines high-end swimwear trends for the rest of the world, and you want to look your best.
Wear the Clara bikini in Terracotta or the Diane in Black. Both pieces offer a fresh, modern look and double as crop tops at night.
Porthchurno, Cornwall, ENGLAND
If you’re anything like us, the first place you think of when you think “beach” is...England?
Really, though, Porthchurno is one of the sunniest places in England. If you’re jet-setting your way across Europe this summer, Porthchurno is the perfect place to wind down for a weekend.
Beautiful sand beaches surrounded by rolling hills and beautiful blue waters, Porthchurno offers all the beach town necessities surrounded by classic English charm. Take a side trip to one of the adorable villages nearby or ride the train to London for a summer concert in Hyde Park.
Channel royalty and embrace the one-piece trend sweeping the U.K. The Emma in Navy or the Donatella in Ivory are perfect one-pieces in all over colors that provide pulled-together English look.
Spiaggia Bianca, Positano, Italy
Your best friend is talking about Positano, your boyfriend, your neighbor, your boss, and everyone else you know. For good reason, too.
Just a quick train ride from Rome, Spiaggia isthebeach to be in Positano. Great for people watching, nightlife, and cozy Italian cafes, Spiaggia should be your first (and last) stop on a summer tour of Italy.
Like Costa do Sauipe, Spiaggia is a place you want to stand out. Colorful, modern swimsuits are the perfect vibe in Positano. Wear the Fernande bikini in Terracotta to look great and make a statement.
