One&Only Reethi Rah Resort, Maldives
The Maldive Islands are a stunning destination which is perfect for relaxation because of the fact that the beautiful beaches offer plenty of activity on the water. However, you don’t have to leave the luxury of your resort to have a terrific water experience since this place has an amazing infinity pool that can caress your body into relaxation. The massive pool is shaded by tropical trees and leads right out into the ocean so you can go adventuring or just lounge around and relax. A poolside bar adds to the fun.

Intercontinental Hotel, Hong Kong

The ideal way to enjoy the pool at this hotel is to book yourself a stay in The Presidential Suite which is 7,000 square feet in size and includes a 2,500 square foot terrace where the private pool is located. However, there are multiple pools to choose from at this hotel and all of them are amazing. There’s a basic-but-beautiful outdoor pool inspired by the art of feng shui but what most people want to check out is the trio of infinity pools that are each heated to different temperatures to suit different people at different times.

Primarily, Florida is known throughout the world for its beaches. The Florida beaches stretch over eight hundred miles. The Florida Panhandle region stretches from Pensacola to Tallahassee, and the Florida Keys are a beachgoer’s paradise. However, the entire state of Florida is surrounded by beaches with sparkling sands and emerald waters. These beaches strongly affect the Florida lifestyle.

Still deciding if its the right vacation destination for you? There is so, so much to do in Las Vegas - and casino gambling is only one of the options available! The following is a breakdown of a few of the major activities enjoyed by the millions of Las Vegas tourists each year.

Gamble

Of course! If you’re over 21, gambling is probably one of the main reasons (if not THE reason) why you decided to make a trip to Las Vegas in the first place. No matter what time of day or night, or what season of the year, there will always, always be plenty of places to gamble. Most casino games and casino floors are largely the same – huge cavernous rooms filled with rows upon rows of slot machines and table games. Small differences (and occasionally choices) may vary from location to location. Most larger casinos in Las Vegas (especially those which are part of resorts), will feature a casino loyalty program to keep visitors coming back to that one particular casino. Themes and décor, minimum bids, clientele and other factors determine the nature of the casino, but the games themselves remain the same.

Go Shopping

Shopping in Las Vegas is different than anywhere else! Particularly in the resorts, shopping can be a truly over-the-top experience. Malls – if you can even call them that – are as much entertainment and theme park as they are shopping center. As many resort malls are based on the theme of their home resort, visitors are treated to the canals of Venice, the bazaars of the Middle East, the Forum of ancient Rome, and even a promenade of bygone Hollywood. The stores themselves are almost always upscale (and expensive), with well-known chains represented. However, the shopping experience of Vegas makes all the difference.

The typical trip to a beach resort is expensive, to say the least. How, then, can you find a cheap beach vacation? Start by identifying what you really want.

Do you really need to stay at a big resort? If that’s important to you, and you still want to save some money on your trip, you need to be flexible on dates a bit. Try the “shoulder season” (just before the season gets going or right after it starts to wind down). Often there are deals that save you as much as 50% at these times. Also, you can just keep checking different dates for both plane tickets and hotels. Sometimes the difference of a day or two can save you hundreds of dollars.

What if you don’t need a big resort experience? What if you just want to visit any warm and relaxing sandy shore? What if you aren’t sure what you want, but you know it has to be a cheap beach vacation? Here are some of the less expensive alternatives.

Caretaking Vacations

In Hawaii, California or Costa Rica there may be somebody just waiting for you to come and stay in their house while they’re absent. Oh, you might have to water the plants and get the mail for them, but in exchange you get to stay in a beautiful home. Just find one of these caretaking opportunities near a beach. For more on this, you can check out the Caretaker Gazette online.

Find A Friend

It is good to have friends with spare beds who live in interesting places, especially if that is near the beach. Perhaps some friends have already told you to come and stay a while. Why not take them up on it? While you are at it, encourage your friends to move to nice beach resort towns.

Beach Camping Vacation

You have probably seen those Corona beer advertisements. Relaxing on the shore with a drink - now that sounds like a great time. Restless? Collect seashells and driftwood up and down the shoreline, or bring a metal detector and search for treasure. Take a swim when it gets too hot, and watch the sunset every night.

How do you make this into a cheap beach vacation? By camping. In Florida, Texas and many other places you can camp in your RV, or in a tent, right next to the ocean. We liked the state parks in northern Florida, where we saw dolphins swimming by and flew a kite while collecting some of the most colorful sea shells we have seen. $24 per night was a lot cheaper than the hotels in the area, and if you wanted to go really cheap, there were free campgrounds within thirty minutes of the coast.

Pick A New Beach

The great lakes are like oceans of fresh water, but cheaper to visit. In the upper peninsula of Michigan in particular, you can often find cheap motels on or near the beach. Most people visit these beaches in summer only, although the best deals may be in September, while the days are still hot and the water is at it’s warmest.

Share The Cost

If you have friends who also want a cheap beach vacation, you can get together to reduce the cost. This can mean sharing a room as college kids do during spring break, or renting an RV together. If you are going really cheap you can all get in the car and drive to the nearest warm beach with a couple tents.
