Here at Holiday Hypermarket we believe holidays are for everyone. That’s why we sell all kinds of holidays for all kinds of people. And we’re not on about tall people, short people, or people sporting a beard. We mean beach lovers, adrenaline junkies, lovebirds, and everyone in between. Over the next couple of month we’ll be using our holiday expertise to write a series of blogs to help you choose your perfect hotel or holiday destination, and this is the second blog in the series, focussing on beaches. Enjoy!
1. Negril Beach –Jamaica
Why? For years, Negril’s beach has been rated as one of the top beaches in the world by top travel magazines. The beach length is actually a little more than four miles, but many tourists insist on the “seven mile” label. With big All-Inclusive hotels towards the north of the beach and small family run hotels towards the south, this makes an ideal choice for any beach lover out there.
Things to do – If there is a dare devil inside of you then Rick’s Café is a must. Here you can fling yourself off cliff points reaching over 40 feet into the warm Caribbean Sea. If you are too chicken to throw yourself off then why not sit back with a cold beer and watch the sunset. Other activities you can enjoy are jet skiing, sailing or catamaran cruises.
Where to stay – Sensatori Jamaica. Located on Negril’s “seven mile” beach this is a stylish hotel with chic rooms that are a stone’s throw away from the Caribbean Sea. Do you want to be located on the beach but have a lively pool scene? Then the Riu Palace Tropical Bay is your hotel. Alternatively the Clubhotel Riu Negril with its front row sea views and with a rather catchy price tag, this hotel is a popular choice.
2. Nissi Beach – Cyprus
Why? With it being a regular fixture on the world’s top beaches list, Nissi Beach is a blue flag- winning sweep of white sand and clear waters. It attracts a young crowd during the day for beach parties, but also offers plenty of quiet spots around its edges for families. There is an island just off Nissi Beach that you can easily swim to that’s a great place to relax and watch the world go by.
Things to do – If sunbathing all day is not up your street then there are plenty of water sports to keep you entertained, or if you’re brave enough you can bungee jump straight into the Mediterranean Sea! If that’s too extreme for you then you could rent pedalos or go kayaking or windsurfing instead.
Where to stay – Hotel Tasia Maris, is geared towards couples who like to spend days lazing around the lagoon-style pool or beach. Not your style? Then maybe the Atlantica Aeneas resort and spa is. There is plenty going on here to keep you occupied with a long list of activities. If you want to do things more at your pace then the Hotel Nissi Beach is for you. Just a beach ball’s throw away from the beach and with water aerobics or water polo held in the pool, you decide how active you want it.

Why? Famous for the excellent quality of its beach, the stunning stretch of golden sand and calm waters of the Indian Ocean have holidaymakers itching to dip their toes in. With only a handful of hotels dotted around the beach, you may get lucky and have the whole beach to yourself!
