Jason Goldberg, Director at SpaSeekers.com comments: “When the stress of everyday life gets on top of you, booking a beach holiday to a country far away can be the perfect way to unwind and relax. Regardless of the beach you’re relaxing on, being close to the sea provides a peaceful escape for many people, away from the hustle and bustle of our busy lives. The calming crashing of waves against the shore, feeling the sand beneath your feet and the breeze on your skin, can ground you back in the present moment and offer a soothing connection to the world‘s most beautiful natural coastlines.
“If you’re considering visiting one of these relaxing beaches, you can make your experience even more calming by visiting some of the more popular coastal spots at quieter times and ensuring that you organise your trip in advance to avoid any last-minute stress.”
