With 33 countries, Latin America’s big, beautiful, and surrounded by water. With all that culture on the insides, the coasts are lined with powder white beaches, golden sand, and spectacular places to sun, swim, and find yourself again. The top ten best beaches for the coming year promise lots that you’ll know, and lots more that have been waiting your whole life. Let’s go!
1. CANCUN
Stays at the Park Royal Cancún or the Grand Park Royal Cancún are richly rewarded on what may be the most heartbreaking side of the Caribbean. Crystal clear turquoise waters, clear blue skies, and powder white sands make it the return-to favorite, year after year.
2. MAR DEL PLATA, ARGENTINA
Just a few hours from the Argentine capital, where guests take to the Park Royal Buenos Aires, at least a day is spent on the golden sands of the Mar del Plata, where quiet, sparkling swells reach the rugged cliffs.
3. ORANJESTAD, ARUBA
Well out of reach of hurricanes, and pleasant year-round, Aruba is as exotic as it is beautiful. The Paradise Beach Villas, have been a Royal Holiday favorite for decades because they’re right off the beach and there’s nothing to do but take it all in.
4. PLAYA BÁVARO, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
One of the world’s favorite beaches, Bavaro put Punta Cana on the map. A Dominican paradise, Royal Holiday guests take to the fullest imaginable luxury at the Grand Bavaro Princess, and the Caribbean is only ever a few stunning meters away.
5. PLAYA DEL AMOR, BAJA CALIFORNIA
Accessible only by boat, the “Beach of Love” is a curious and quiet one just in from the famous arch at Land’s End. Condo-style lodging means Royal Holiday guests take to the Park Royal Los Cabos, for weeks at a time, and many come back every year.
6. PLAYA ESCONDIDA, PUERTO VALLARTA
On the iconic Marieta Islands off the coast of Vallarta, Playa Escondida is among the most exotic and otherworldly of all the beaches on this list. A stay at Grand Park Royal Puerto Vallarta means you’re minutes away, and a once-in-a-lifetime experience turns into something you’re going to get used to.
7. PLAYA EL CIELO, COZUMEL
The Island of the Swallows, world famous for scuba and snorkeling, is a great place to take in the year-round sun. The Grand Park Royal Cozumel puts you in the perfect place to take in the island’s best-loved beach, named for the many starfish that call it home.
8. PLAYA FLAMENCO, PUERTO RICO
Any stay at the Park Royal Club Cala, means a tour to the tranquil sky-blue waters and fine white sand of Playa Flamenco. A tropical oasis, it’s just off the coast on Culebra Island in stunning sun-kissed Puerto Rico.
9. RÍO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL
The Río Othon Palace welcomes Royal Holiday vacationers for a holiday of fun, sun, and of course, lots of beach. Home to one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World (the Christ the Redeemer Statue), it’s a surprisingly easy and very different beach vacation.
10. TULÚM, RIVIERA MAYA:
The only Maya archaeological site right on the sea, it’s been a white-hot vacation destination going back a few years. With stunning, ancient ruins, and crystal clear sea, stays at the Grand Riviera Princess can’t help but extending up and down the magnificent Riviera region.
