Beaches that gets plastered Grace Bay Beach on Providenciales (Provo for short) is one of those incredible Caribbean beaches that gets plastered on billboards and screensavers alike

Pink Beach | Komodo Island, Indonesia
Your eyes are not deceiving you, that beach is indeed pink. That’ll be why it is called Pink Beach, right? The hue comes from thousands of broken coral pieces, shells and other materials, giving off a vibrant light that practically drags your camera out of your pocket and demands a bazillion photos be taken. There are only 10 pink sand beaches on the planet and Indonesia has two of them.

Stokksnes | Stokksnes Peninsula, Iceland
Stokksnes is a little bit different to the rest of the beaches on this list, but then that’s par for the course for Iceland. After all, beaches don’t need to be swathed in sunshine to be gloriously photogenic. The jet-black volcanic sand of this beach is a sight to behold, an initially jarring aesthetic that soon becomes bizarrely soothing. A beach from another world? Stokksnes is just that.

Tortuga Bay | Santa Cruz, Galápagos Islands
The beach at Tortuga Bay has been perfectly preserved, so don’t even think about swimming here and making a mess of that. You can’t, such actions are forbidden, but any selection of the world’s best beaches must mention the wildlife extravaganza that is the Galapagos. Tortuga Bay is on Santa Cruz Island and is home to iguanas, crabs, pelicans and the rest. If you absolutely must swim, there’s a small cove nearby where such things are allowed, although keep your eyes open for tiger sharks.

Praia da Rocha | Algarve, Portugal
The Algarve deserves more respect from hardened travellers, and spots like the gorgeously golden Praia da Rocha are a case in point. This is where nature and nurture combine with magnificent results, a stunning stretch of land that turns into nightlife central once the sun goes down, partying hard from late at night until shepherd’s delight. Once the party stops, the beach becomes an idyllic paradise all over again.

Siesta Beach | Siesta Key, Florida
As its name implies, Siesta Key is the place to relax. The expansive beachfront rarely feels overcrowded, and the fine quartz-crystal white sand stays cool to the touch, so be sure to dig your feet in whilst reading your favourite magazine. Pack your cooler with your adult beverages (no glasses allowed), and should you feel the need to exert yourself, kayaks and paddleboards are available for rental.

Railay Beach | Krabi, Thailand
A few spa hotels have tucked themselves among the palm forests of Krabi, but they haven't spoiled the charm of Railay Beach – flashier crowds prefer Phuket anyway. The stalactite-dripping limestone cliffs that bookend Railay’s wisp of a beach make it inaccessible by road, and the shallow bay precludes anything larger than a longtail boat from coming in. Hire one from nearby Ao Nang for next to nothing, then get thee to a hammock.

Elafonisi | Crete, Greece
Yes, that sand is pink. The rosy hue of this gorgeous beach in southwest Crete has become something of a social media superstar, but don’t even think about being cynical about that. Elafonisi is so much better in person that it doesn’t really deserve the discussion, so go ahead and book your flight to Crete already. Keep an eye out for the white sea daffodils when you arrive too.

Ipanema | Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Cariocas are hardcore, and they’re what make this golden coastline such a trip. They divide the beach into territories: jocks here, surfers there, hippies, g**s and exhibitionists in between. Choose your tribe. Just keep in mind the limited amenities. If you can’t take the heat without a shower and cold drink, book a hotel behind the Portuguese-tiled boardwalk.

Arco Magna | Calabria, Italy
A blink and you’ll miss it slice of paradise in Calabria, Arco Magno is pretty much as idyllic as it gets. It looks for all the world like it was painted by a maestro, an incredibly inviting stretch that will make the stresses of the modern world fade away in warm water and intimate seclusion. That stone arch is something else entirely.

Barafundle Bay | Pembrokeshire, Wales
Wales has some beautiful beaches, arguably the best in the UK, and those in the know will point you in the direction of Pembrokeshire for the best of the best. Barafundle takes the proverbial biscuit, accessible only by a gorgeous half-mile walk and worth every drop of sweat expelled along the way. The calm water is safe for bathing, and the tranquillity of it all makes for a truly lovely experience.

Marimegmeg Beach | Palawan, Philippines
What’s there to do at this pristine beach? Dive and, er, dive. It is the Philippines, after all. And more than 100 species of fish flicker about sunset-coloured coral – along with swaying nudibranch and the odd lumbering dugong (native molluscs and mammals, to the uninitiated). Hook up with one of the 20 diving outfits stationed along the El Nido coast for your daily fix.

Llandudno Beach | Cape Town, South Africa
If you can’t find a decent beach in the fantasy landscape of the Western Cape, shame on you. But you’d be forgiven for missing Llandudno. Scooped out of the Twelve Apostles mountain range, the dollop of sand slips surreptitiously between two nature reserves south of Cape Town. When the sunset chasers arrive, pack your tote and follow the scrubby footpath 30-minutes south to even more secluded Sandy Bay.
