Coastal cool

These coastal places embody the simplicity of beach life in their pared-back, minimalist style that lets nature wow you rather than going overboard on the décor. They’ve all been inspected in person by us, and chosen for you to have perfect holidays in the fresh, salty air. All you need to do is take a look, pack the one t shirt you’ll wear the whole trip, and head out for some sun and sand.
