When you want to escape life and pack your bag to jet off somewhere fantastic, this is the roundup of the best international beach destinations of the global jet-set generation.  All the hip and hot gather on the sands of these magical bohemian hotspots around the world.  A must-do list if you love a good beach and better yet a good scene.  Start packing…

Rio De Janeiro, Brazil

The energy of the city mixed the beautiful brown naked bodies on the beach makes Rio the #1 best beach in the world.  Music, food, sexy people and smiles are everywhere on the wildly packed beaches in Rio.  Ipanema beach is the center of where all things happen.

Amalfi Coast, Italy

Glitz, glam, and god given, beautiful breathtaking cliffs smashing into the crystal mediterranean blue sea.  A plate full of spaghetti with fresh clams and a pitcher full of peaches soaking in crisp white wine is reason enough for the Amalfi Coast to make the list.  Positano being the star of the show.

Bondi Beach, Australia

Heathy, athletic blond beauties working out, practicing yoga and swimming in the Icebergs pool that is built into the ocean walls makes Bondi beach the hottest part of Sydney. Jetsetters come on the other side of the globe mainly for this beach.  Far away it is, and fair enough as only the best looking and coolest make their way to this part of the world to partake in the beauty Olympics of Aussie culture.

Sayulita, Mexico

Super bohemian surfers and artists take the one hour drive from the well-known Puerto Vallerta to this secret hippy paradise to surf, shop, and swallow margaritas on a chill beach.  Sayulita is colorful rainbow of a town in a tequila filled, Mexican bliss.

Ibiza and Formentera, Spain

Of course Ibiza has been a jet-set spot since the 60’s.  International artists and now famous dj’s have turned the island into a disco paradise for the hard-core techno and house music lover.  The boho paradise still remains on the north side of the island and most definitely on the tiny island next door in Formentera.  Chic restaurants, shopping and beautiful people are the abundance on both islands in the spring and summer months.

Mykonos, Greece

The star of the million and one Greek islands.  Mykonos has the adorable tiny white alleys and blue roofs, amazing mediterranean sea, outdoor nightclubs to die for and beach clubs worthy of a stop off your yacht.  Celebrities and jetset are packed in every corner from June – August.  May and September are amazing if you want a more chill Greek experience.

Aeolian Islands, Italy

Tiny secret secluded islands gathered above the island of Sicily.  When you want to get away from the norm and escape to a magical Italian heaven, Panarea, Stromboli, and Salina are where to sail off to.  Filicudi, Alicudi, Volcano, Lipari, and Basiluzzo are the others that make up the 8 Aeolian islands. Dolce & Gabbana have a villa in Stromboli… if it’s good enough for Stefano Gabbana, it’s good enough for me.

Bali, Indonesia

Ahhhh Bali… If there was ever a dream of a magical, flower-filled, smiling heaven it would definitely be Bali.  Imagine women and men all wrapped in colorful sarongs with flowers in their hair, incense burning on every corner and monkeys running wild on the streets.  This magical island is worth a fabulous trip at least once in your lifetime.

Essaouira, Morocco

In the north-east coast of Africa lies a strange but very cool beach town called Essaouira. Best know for Jimmy Hendrix hanging here in the late 60’s.  That same vibe has never changed. Game of thrones has used this spot to film many episodes of the series.  It’s an old world, ancient vibe with an eclectic mix of hippies and unique travelers from all over the world.  Watch dramatic sunsets from the castle walls or on a rooftop of one of the posh boutique hotels while sipping mint tea. The magical vibes of this special town will run deep and stick hard.

Venice Beach, California

The quintessential, Cali-style beach dream.  Venice is iconic and always will be.  Surfers, skaters, street performers and smoke shops were the scene but now since the new Silicon valley has moved in, Venice has changed from run-down hippy to one of the most sought after, rich kids towns in Los Angeles.  Venice will always be a bit grungy, but when an organic green smoothie costs more than a yoga class, you know your living amongst the jetset.

The Isle of Capri, Italy

This should probably be number one on the list but quite frankly I’m tired of promoting Italy. But in all fairness, Capri is the most beautiful jetset island in the world. Every summer super yachts and celebrities flock to the most beautiful chunk of rock in the Mediterranean. It’s just so stunningly beautiful and perfect. Beach clubs by day and parties at night. Either renting a private villa or dancing at Anema e Core where JLo and many others are known to jump off their yacht and onto the stage in this intimate but wild taverna.

Goa, India

Where the cool kids go in India.  Sleeping in bamboo huts on the sand and going to bars barefoot on the beach is the glamorous, hip thing to do in Goa.  The only place in the world where I have seen cows chilling on the beach like seagulls and silent discos parties that are almost impossible to find.   This bohemian Indian paradise a must when headed to the eastern “mother land”.

Montauk, NY

The Hamptons are one thing and then there is Montauk.  If you want to find where the real NY cool kids go it’s this end of the earth, 3 hour drive from Manhattan, tip of the Long Island fork.  A surf haven for rich kids, the ‘Surf Lodge’ hotel put this place on the map as the party spot of the summer for young, hip Manhattanites.

South beach, Miami

Last but not least, South beach Miami is the ultimate international beach party scene.  More Latin-Americans than Spanish Harlem, Miami Beach is a party that never ends.  In the afternoons you will find the Brazilian topless beauties on the beach south of 5th street. The picturesque ocean and the best nightclubs in the world make Miami one of the top jet-set destinations on Earth.
