Okay, let’s play a little game. There’s this little well-known theory (little well known because I just made it up) that most travellers fall into one of 7 categories. Therefore, for a little bit of enjoyable afternoon fun, we’re going to determine which group you belong to. The groups are:

Unlike flashier spots such as Cannes and Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc, Juan-les-Pins is a quiet escape on the Côte d’Azur. Nearly a century ago, when F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda holed up on the French Riviera in seaside Villa St. Louis, Fitzgerald wrote a letter saying that Antibes was the “right place to rough it, an escape from the world.” Roughing it is a stretch — crowned by a 16th-century fort shielding the historic streets from the sea, Antibes is one of the few fortified medieval towns that sits directly on the Mediterranean (most of the Riviera’s eagle’s nest villages hover on hilltops high over the water).

San Diego is California’s second-largest city, offering an impressive blend of coastal charm and urban excitement. With nearly 1.5 million residents, it retains a laid-back vibe, making it feel more like a coastal village than a bustling metropolis. Enjoying a coffee in the La Jolla area before unwinding on the sandy shores of Marine Street Beach epitomizes the San Diego experience. For those yearning for a vibrant nightlife, the historic Gaslamp Quarter downtown boasts an array of top-tier bars and restaurants. Moreover, neighborhoods like North Park captivate visitors with their mix of cozy coffee shops, taco stands, and craft breweries, beckoning return visits. San Diego provides boundless entertainment for travelers, particularly when they know their preferences and accommodation choices. Consequently, there is no lack of great hotels in San Diego.

With miles of white-sand coastline, South Carolina is the perfect destination for a beach vacation. It’s no surprise, then, that many of our readers’ favorite resorts in the state are located near the coast, particularly on the famous stretches of sand at Hilton Head, Kiawah Island, and Myrtle Beach.

The Middle East and North Africa is a region known for its enchanting cities, both ancient and modern. However, travelers may wish to balance their longer itineraries between urban destinations and those that offer a more secluded experience. The best resort hotels in North Africa and the Middle East, as voted byGoTravelDailyreaders, serve as ideal starting points to explore pristine beaches, exhilarating desert drives, scenic mountain hikes, and captivating mule-trekking adventures.

From heli-skiing to wildlife tours, these destinations offer so many things to do (not to mention fantastic dining and spas), you’ll wish you spent an extra week exploring.
