1. Tulum, Mexico
This is a phenomenal place to visit, as you can gaze upon the ancient structures while swimming in the clear water. This walled city was the last known to be built by Mayans. Modern archeologists have done a flawless job at preserving the site. In addition to swimming and chilling, you can visit the Temple of the frescoes, explore an underground river or snorkel deep inside of the caves. Most hotels around Tulum have a 4.5 star rating, which makes them exceptional for accommodation.
2. Eleuthera, Bahamas
Eleuthera includes some of the most beautiful beaches of Bahamas. The white sands and tranquil pink are the perfect remedy for the weary traveler who seeks solitude. This 110-mile long island has tens of miles of unspoiled pink sand beaches. If you love solitude, this is the place to come. However, do not forget to take a peek at the “glass window”, where the Atlantic Ocean meets with the Caribbean Sea.
3. Oahu, Hawaii
The North shore of Oahu, is definitely the place where the best surfers of the world gather every January and February. The Ehukai Beach and Sunset Beach are exceptional for surfing.
