Beach Holidays

Feel the wind in your hair and the sand between your toes. Ride the waves and soak up the sun. A beach holiday is the perfect way to be one with nature. Whether you want to unwind by the seaside or get your adrenaline pumping with water sports, Akbar Holidays has a beach holiday package just for you.

The perfect beach holiday doesn’t have to be in the Maldives or Greece. Some of the best destinations for beach bums are right here in India. Some of the most popular beaches in India are found in Goa, Kerala, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.

The beaches of Goa draw in people from all over the world. Southern Goa offers serene locales and pristine beaches that are great for honeymooners and families. Northern Goa, on the other hand is more vibrant with night clubs and bars dominating the beachside. If you want to try your hand at parasailing or riding a jet ski, pick a Goa tour package that includes beaches such as Baga, Calangute and Anjuna.

Kerala tour packages are also a great way to enjoy a beach vacation. If the Kerala backwaters are not enticing enough, head down to Kovalam or Varkala. Kerala beaches may not be as glamourous as the ones at Goa but they more than make up for it with their beauty. Other destinations that are popular with family holiday packages are Kappad and Mararikulam and their pretty beaches.

Of course, beach holidays are not restricted to India. Akbar Holidays offers beach vacations to some of the most beautiful places in the world. One of these is the Greek island of Mykonos. The island is a magnet for party animals and history buffs in equal measure. The island is a base to visit the nearby Delos, one of the most important historical and mythological sites in all of Greece. Delos has been inhabited for over five thousand years and is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Visit the Sacred Lake, Minoan Fountain and the Temples of Hera, Isis and Apollo. If history doesn’t interest you, most Greece beach holidays will show you the more popular side of Mykonos, its white sand beaches, clear blue seas and romantic seaside restaurants.

Another popular seaside resort in Greece is Santorini. Known for its whitewashed and blue domed houses that drape the cliffs of a caldera, Santorini is one of the best tourist destinations in the world. The island has steep cliffs with luxury establishments on one side and volcanic black sand beaches on the other. Visit Fira, the island’s capital and Imerovigli, the highest point of the island, both of which are strewn with restaurant terraces that look over the sea and promise instagram worthy photo opportunities. The Red Beach with its colourful sand is another tourist draw as well as the traditional villages in the interior of the island.

Closer home, Thailand has some of the most popular beach destinations in the world. With white sand beaches, crystal blue waters and swaying palm trees, the beaches of Thailand make for the perfect beach holiday from India. An emerald green tropical paradise, it has something for every taste and budget. Some of the best places to visit in Thailand on your beach holiday are Phuket, Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay. Phuket is surrounded by several smaller but equally breathtakingly beautiful islands including the famous Phi Phi Island. With high cliffs and dense jungle that spills on to the beach, Phi Phi is the crowning glory of Phuket. Thailand packages often add a leisurely cruise on Phang Nga Bay to their itineraries. The stunning bay, made famous in the James Bond movies, stands out for its towering limestone cliffs peering out of bright green water.

Our bespoke holiday packages take you across the world, from Crete to Costa Rica and Maui to Mykonos. Whatever your budget, whatever your taste, Akbar Holidays has a beach holiday just for you.
