Boasting miles of tropical beaches, quaint villages, secret coves, and crystal-blue waters, Europe has some of the most pristine seaside destinations in the world. Here are a few of the best European beach destinations we recommend. SARDINIA, ITALY A prime Italian beach destination, Sardinia is the second largest island in the Mediterranean. In this topical paradise,, hidden coves and beaches, including the beguiling Spiaggia Rosa (Pink Beach) on Budelli island, will provide the perfect inspiration for your Instagram-worthy holiday photos.

You could easily find yourself rubbing shoulders with celebrities there, as the resort is popular with the likes of influencers, Hollywood A-Listers, and music stars. Beyond the beach resorts and exclusive bars, Sardinia also boasts mile upon mile of wild beauty and postcard-perfect villages, so invest in a new pair of hiking boots and get out and explore the real Sardinia. MYKONOS, GREECE With its sixteenth-century windmills, Cycladic architecture, stunning views, picture-perfect beaches, and legendary nightlife, Mykonos perfectly blends holiday decadence with centuries of fascinating history.
This jewel of the Greek islands has everything from beach partying all night to windsurfing and exploring the many quaint streets and hidden coves. Noteworthy beaches include Paradise Beach, Ornos Bay, and chic Psarou.
SICILY, ITALY A quiet destination steeped in history, Sicily is a scenic, slow-paced place that goes beyond a mere beach destination. The main island boasts stunning beaches, charming seaside towns, such as Syracuse and Trapani, and well-preserved Roman and Greek ruins, which have stood for millennia. If you’re the type who likes to explore, a day or two island hopping across the Aeolian Islands will prove to be an adventure.
Sunny with blue sky and crystal clear water. Paradise is definitely the most famous beach of Mykonos: fine sand and emerald green water.
IBIZA, SPAIN You can’t really mention European beach destinations without mentioning the party capital of Spain: Ibiza. Showcasing a pounding club scene, Ibiza is famous the world over for its wild side. Look beyond the nightlife, though, and you’ll discover there is much more to this island than meets the eye. Long stretches of golden beaches and hidden coves like Cala Blanca or Cala d’en Serra are the perfect place to soak up the sun or indulge in a bit of scuba diving. If you want a relaxed night out, visit the famous Café del Mar and watch the sun go down while sipping a cool cocktail.
