Our first destination is in the remarkably beautiful country of Australia.  Located with direct access to The Great Barrier Reef, Hayman is a resort that will impress.  While every guest room at Hayman is amazing, their Beach Villas are literally on the beach fantastic.  A few steps outside your back door and you will find the azure blue waters and tempting beaches.  Large sliding doors allow guests staying in the villas to enjoy the ocean from the comfort of their bed.  A private plunge pool is also attached to the room giving guests literally everything they could ever want all wrapped up in a chic and stylish room on the beach.  When your room is on the beach, you technically never have to leave the beach.

Saint Lucia is another tropical paradise that offers visitors the chance to stay on the beach.  The stunning  Jalousie Plantation, Sugar Beach located in the Caribbean has eight bungalows that are anywhere from 20-100 feet from the turquoise waters and fabulous beaches.  These villas were recently added and opened early in 2012, showcasing yet another example of how hotel and resort groups are fulfilling travelers desires to be beach side.  This one time sugar plantation now has private suites hugging the ocean with wood floors, private Jacuzzis and the option to utilize a private butler.  Stay on the beach in lovely Saint Lucia.
