When we think of relaxation, the things that come to mind are white sand beaches, azure blue waters, sunsets in paradise, scenic views, and lush green forests...

The hustle and bustle of city life‌ get to the best of us. While we work hard to provide for ourselves and our families, we tend to neglect our mental health and wellbeing. While hustling is something we definitely commend, we’d also like to remind you to take a break and enjoy life for what it is. And what better way to relax than a coastal getaway? 

We don’t know about you, but when we think of relaxation, the things that come to mind are white sand beaches, azure blue waters, sunsets in paradise, scenic views, and lush green forests. Oh, we’re tempted already! 

We’ve rounded up a list of places around the world that make us want to quit our jobs, pack our bags and head out to just unwind with the sound of the sea! Here are some of our top picks:

1. Lakshadweep Islands: The enthralling islands of Lakshadweep provide the perfect haven for relaxation. This archipelago of 36 islands off the Indian coast boasts several fun activities and opportunities. Go swimming and snorkelling with the dolphins, or go boat riding and soak in the abundant beauty surrounding you.
2. Mauritius: The clear blue waters of Mauritius consistently prove to be one of the most scenic views known to mankind. Take part in scuba diving, parasailing, and snorkelling, or explore its tropical abundance and biodiversity. This picturesque paradise is a must-visit! 
3. Iceland: Iceland provides one of the most invigorating trips of a lifetime. It’s home to Blue Lagoon, a geothermal spa ‌in a literal lava field! You can soak in the ethereal warm waters even when it's freezing outside, and if you’re lucky, you’ll catch a glimpse of the otherworldly northern lights. Add to that some Scuba diving between Continents & you have the complete package. 
4. Vietnam: Vietnam is quickly earning its spot in our top lists with delicious food (for the true adventurers), historic architecture and a bustling culture to dive into and find adventure around every corner. 
5. Krabi Islands: We’re sure you’ve heard of the infamous Krabi islands, but if not, let us tell you. This blissful, beautiful, and breathtaking island has one of the most stunning coastlines in the world. Imagine soaking in some Vitamin D on white-sand beaches against a picture-perfect background of pristine blue skies, abundant green mountains, and serene sunsets!

So if you’re ready to unwind in true style, we hope these places are enough to get you started.
