Spring is still providing glimpses of a healthy summer to come, so now is the perfect time to pay attention to your inner adventurous spark that's desperate to ignite and get your holiday plans in shape.
Whether you get one a year or are fortunate enough to whisk yourself away on a regular basis, to miss out on your dream break away and have to settle for an uninspired last minute choice should be avoided at all costs.
Unleashing your adventurous side has never been easier with a vast array of exotic locations now so easily accessible and we've sourced some of our - soon to hopefully be your - most desired coastal destinations this year.
South America
Brazil
The Chili Beach Boutique Hotel & Resort. Jericoacoara
Many an Englishman will be fixated on the World Cup from the moment the first match kicks off in June. Perhaps a little on the relaxing side, some minds will be too focused on the competition to want to do little else. What better compromise then to be able to soak in both the competition and a glorious part of the world with its highly regarded beaches by spending a week or two in the hosting country.
British Virgin Islands
Scrub Island Resort, Spa & Marina
Heading away from the South American mainland, this resort is located on its own island. The decision of just how adventurous you want to be is all yours with walkable beaches and the marina accessible for an array of water-based activities.
Europe
Spain
Playa de Ses Illetes. Formentera, Balearic Islands
There's plenty of opportunity to explore on this beautiful, unspoilt island lying just to the south of Ibiza. Referred to as the Mediterranean's 'best kept secret', Illetes beach stretches from La Savina, the port of Formentera, to Espalmador, a small island sitting on the end of the peninsular.
Montenegro
Hotel Astoria. Stari grad, Kotor
Kotor (A UNESCO World Heritage site) is located on the coastal bay of Montenegro and is a city steeped in tradition and history. Whilst a relaxing weekend at the boutique hotel to take in the views could easily be on the cards, the old city filled with medieval architecture and historic monuments demands to be explored. Extending over four kilometres, the city walls lead up to the fortress of Saint Ivan. Be sure to pack your best walking shoes.
Asia
Grand Mercure Phuket Patong. Phuket, Thailand
Diving, snorkeling, wind surfing and sailing are just a few active options at this glorious coastline location. The inland options prove even more adventurous with forested hills, mountains and cliffs to be explored. Combined with a grand new resort to stay and relax in, this option may just be the modern adventurer's dream choice.
