Off the Beaten Track Beach Holidays Destinations
For many, the perfect holiday means the beach, but that doesn’t have to mean crowded stretches of sand. Off the beaten track beach holidays take you to secluded coves, hidden islands and pristine shorelines where serenity reigns. In Mozambique, untouched beaches stretch for miles, with turquoise waters that invite diving, snorkelling and sailing adventures. In the Philippines, the islands of Palawan and Siargao remain blissfully quiet, offering crystalline lagoons and dramatic limestone cliffs far removed from mass tourism. Meanwhile, islands such as Anguilla or Bequia in the Caribbean bring an intimate atmosphere where you can enjoy barefoot luxury and a slower pace of life. These destinations provide the chance to enjoy the beauty of the beach in its purest form: quiet, unspoiled and deeply romantic. With Elegant Resorts, your beach escape can be tailored to include private villas, luxury resorts and curated activities that ensure your time by the sea is both indulgent and unforgettable.
Off the Beaten Track City Break Destinations
When it comes to city breaks, many travellers think of iconic capitals, but some of the most rewarding experiences come from exploring cities that remain slightly under the radar. Off the beaten track city break destinations allow you to enjoy culture, history and gastronomy without the crowds. Take Ljubljana in Slovenia, a compact city filled with riverside cafés, medieval architecture and a creative energy that makes it perfect for a short but memorable escape. Or consider Porto in Portugal, where winding streets, colourful façades and world-famous port wine cellars create a city full of charm yet far less busy than its neighbour Lisbon. Further afield, Cartagena in Colombia offers a vibrant blend of colonial history, Caribbean flair and artistic soul, while in Japan, Kanazawa reveals a quieter alternative to Kyoto with beautiful gardens, traditional geisha districts and cutting-edge museums. These cities provide the chance to immerse yourself in culture at a more relaxed pace, with Elegant Resorts tailoring your stay to combine luxury accommodation, private tours and insider recommendations that unlock their hidden charms.
