World's Sexiest Beaches 2007

Each year, our friends over at Concierge.com put out a list of the world's sexiest beaches, featuring the best places to "flirt with millionaires, lick the salt off a margarita glass, siesta in a hammock, and gaze at blood-orange sunsets night after night."

If these don't make you wish you were somewhere else, you've either got your toes in the sand right now, or you're dead to the world. Here is 2007's sexiest beaches:

  • Caprera Island, Sardinia, Italy -- "La dolce vita meets Euro bling."
  • Salvador da Bahia, Brazil -- "Slow, happy, and inexpensive."
  • Cousine Island, Seychelles -- "Me Tarzan, you Jane!"
  • Playa de los Lances, Tarifa, Spain -- "Surf hard, play hard. Flirt even harder."
  • Pink Sand Beach, Harbour Island, Bahamas -- "Colonial swagger with high society tennis games at dusk."
  • Kuta Beach, Bali -- "Beachcombing boho chic."
  • South Beach, Miami, Florida -- "Nightlife hub, arts mecca, de facto capital of Latin America, Miami is all sexy, all the time."
  • Pigeon Point Beach, Antigua -- "British aristos meet Hollywood movers-and-shakers for a love-in, colonial style."
  • Bodrum, Turkey -- "European? Asian? Yes"
  • Santa Maria Beach, Ilha do Sal, Cape Verde -- "The calm before the storm."
  • Laguna Beach, California -- "California lovin'"
  • Ihuru Island, Maldives -- "Just say no to shoes."
  • Playa Tamarindo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica -- "City kids get physical in a tropical playground."
  • Paradise Beach, Mykonos -- "You're only young once. If you're not, keep drinking-you'll feel young soon enough."
  • Grande Plage, Biarritz, France -- "Beach bums meet fashion plates."
  • Kaanapali Beach, Maui, Hawaii -- "The vibe: Chilled-out aloha spirit."
  • Cabo San Lucas, Mexico -- "It was this big-honest!"
  • The Similan Islands, Thailand -- "Wash my hair tonight? Why bother?"
  • Motu Tane, French Polynesia -- "Fashionistas air kisses and catwalks on the beach."
