The top ten beach hotels of the world



European hotel booking site Trivago, recently released the results of their guest survey to find the ten best beach hotels in the world.

The lineup has a bit of a European tint to it, and no hotels in North or South America made the cut. Still, the list has 10 hotels I wouldn't mind spending some time, and I'm not even that much of a beach fan.

Most of the hotels offer their own private beach, which means you won't have to share any of it with the commoners who were not lucky enough to stay at your upscale property. Prices for the rooms start around $500/night, with the most upscale rooms going for as much as $10,000/night in the high season (for a private over-water bungalow).

  • 10 - Hotel Kurhaus Binz, Germany
  • 9 - Iberotel Makadi Beach resort, Egypt
  • 8 - Four Seasons, Jimbraran bay, Bali
  • 7 - The Sarojin, Khao-Lak, Thailand
  • 6 - The Datai, Langkawi, Malaysia
  • 5 - Le Tousserok, Trou d'Eau Douce, Mauritius
