Our favorite beach hotels are as different as the beaches they sit on, from a stylish tropical hideaway in Thailand to a restored nineteenth-century cedar-shingled cottage in Provincetown. But what they all have in common is their beauty--and their views over some of the most glorious stretches of coastline in the world.

ANDAZ MAUI AT WAILEAWailea, HawaiiHow’s this for a first morning at a resort: The day began with a trip out to sea in a little outrigger canoe, where I spotted a pod of North Pacific humpbacks. Then, as they disappeared from sight, I turned and watched the sun rise over the white sand of Mokapu Beach, where a lounge chair had already been set up for me.

MUKUL BEACH, GOLF & SPAGuacalito de La Isla, Nicaragua Nicaragua may be one of the world’s hot eco-destinations, but the lodgings were hippie-chic at best—until Mukul opened last year.

NIZUC RESORT & SPACancun, MexicoThe garden villas may be more private, but you’re here for the beach. So book one of the eight penthouse suites, which have outdoor living rooms and Caribbean vistas.

POINT YAMU BY COMOPhuket, ThailandHigh above Phang Nga Bay, Como’s property has a near-panoramic vista of the glittering waters below. But the real beauty here is that there isn’t much to do beyond taking a dip in the phenomenal infinity pool, followed by a nap.

SALT HOUSE INNProvincetown, MassachusettsWhat I wanted: the un-B&B B&B—a hotel both spotless and modern, a hotel where it didn’t feel like an innkeeper was watching my every coming and going. And at the 15-room Salt House Inn, I found it.
