African Beach Holiday Ideas

With so many alluring African beach holiday destinations to choose from, it's important to consider what you expect and need from a hard-earned getaway to paradise.

For some the idea of a sublime beach holiday can only co-exist with ultimate luxury: sea air and immaculate beaches combined with the highest quality in decor, impeccable service, private pools, and of course, a decadent spa.

For others an African beach holiday should never be too slick. Indulge in bare foot luxury where comfort and service are uncompromised and spectacular natural surroundings are enhanced by sensitive architecture and a laid-back attitude.

Of course, a private island or an equally remote beach location can be all about you and the beach, as you'll have that stretch of coast basically to yourself.

This may be exactly what you need if you're looking for a romantic beach holiday or a beach honeymoon, a place where no one else matters.

Family beach holidays have their own criteria for success. Great entertainment for the kids is provided by kid's clubs at hotels in Mauritius, and sightseeing that appeals to the whole family can be found on a Cape Town beach holiday. Funnily enough, kids don't seem to notice the icy Cape Town water that gives adults such strange facial expressions.

Active beach holidays also cater for a niche market - those who can't lie unmoving on a beach for a week (it's an art that requires practice after all). This is the beach holiday for the divers, the fishermen and the adrenaline junkies.

Resorts, such as the ones found in Mauritius, are a fantastic way of having a hassle-free beach holiday. Fun activities, babysitting and all your meals are taken care of. Why would you ever want to leave?
