Exuclusive Beach - Waikiki Beach





The biggest lure due to its famous name alone, is far from the best on the islands, with its pebbled sand not friendly to tender feet. And, it’s crowded- in some ways, it’s busy, hustling streets remind one of resorts like most favorite tourist spots on the mainland. The beaches on the eastern shore are far superior, with fine white sand, gentle surf and warm, clear water. Even veteran scuba and snorkel divers say that the reefs of Hanauma Bay, a 15-minute drive from Honolulu, are among the most abundant in the world with marine life.

Benirras Ibiza



In the 1960s, Benirras became infamous as the scene of drug-fuelled orgies. Today, it attracts a stylish mix of young Spaniards, Italians and Swedes, though the hippie vibe remains; each day, the mellow sunset is hailed by a chorus of bongo-players. Benirras has been protected from hotel developers, but there are several upmarket villas nearby, including one owned by a DJ, which has six bedrooms, a private pool, a music room and a sundeck. Benirras, in the north of Ibiza, is about as far as you can get from the fevered fleshpots of San Antonio. Here, at the end of a long and winding mountain road, lies a perfect slice of sand, bookmarked by cliffs and overlooking a deep, calm bay.
