Top Culture Trip Tours for Beach Therapy

You’ll need more than an appetite for this ten-day tour of Southern Italy. ‘Eat, beach, repeat’ will be your mantra as you get more than your fill of sand, sauce, sun, and seafood. Street food in Naples, sunbathing in Positano. Bread baking in Altamura, swimming in Polignano a Mare. By the time you make it from the Amalfi Coast to Puglia, you’ll be so crisp, salty and warm that you’d think you were turning into a Neapolitan pizza.

See the sunnier side of life with holidays on the water in Southern Thailand. A water sports adventure safari will find you kayaking gently through mangrove forests and exploring caves with ancient drawings. You’ll feel like a kid again when your crew reaches Coco Beach and sees the miniature inflatable waterpark just begging for a bounce. More kayaking, snorkeling, and swimming soak this itinerary from front to back – perfect for anyone who can’t get enough beach and sea R&R.

The Island of the Gods is your water sports adventure HQ for nearly two weeks on this ultimate tour of Bali. Go as deep as you want into this island paradise: swim in the Banyumala Twin Waterfalls, take surf lessons in Canggu, and snorkel amongst dozens of life-size underwater stone statues. You’ll even say goodbye to Bali for a while with a speedboat ride to the pristine beaches of Gili Trawangan.

There’s no pair of beaches on Earth quite like Rio’s two famous stretches of golden sand. Lined with street footballers, volleyball masters and caipirinha sippers, there’s nowhere better to soak in the sunshine and bask in the samba spirit. We’ll be spending four nights in a hotel within walking distance of both Ipanema and Copacabana beach, so you’ll have plenty of time to spend on the sand, in the ocean and diving across the volleyball court, not to mention the incredible sunset spots we’ll find to watch the sun go down over Rio.
