Looking for the best summer-fun getaway? Whether you are looking for a family-oriented vacation or a romantic getaway, chances are you will find the resort that’s right for you. Forbes have enlisted 24 Best Beach Resorts around the globe. Here are some of them:

 Hayman
Anyone who has seen the northeast coast of Australia can see its one long stretch of some of the finest beach in the world. If you are looking for something more luxurious, there is no finer resort in Queensland than Hayman. Located in the famous Great Barrier Reef and near Whitsunday Island, the hotel has just undergone a two-year, $15 million refurbishment that should more than justify the amount of traveling you’ll have to do to get here.

Copacabana Palace

This great white wedding cake of a grand hotel has recently undergone a massive renovation, and the aging rooms and services are now so beautifully upgraded you only wish that the rest of Rio looked as good. Sadly, Rio has seen better days, but no amount of petty theft and poverty can take away the natural beauty of Copacabana Beach and the glorious blue of the Atlantic Ocean. The hotel maintains its own staked-out area of the beach and provides guests with umbrellas, towels and the works.

La Samanna
 
One of the most chic and expensive resorts in the world, like Gstaad, Cap d’Antibes, Portofino and Southampton, La Samanna has become a regular stop on the itinerary of what passes for the international jet set today. Located on the secluded Baie Longue on the French island of St. Martin, the resort is like something out of a perfume ad: white architecture standing out against a clear blue sky, beautiful people and even more beautiful beaches.
