The Harmony Hotel<\/h4>\n

Nosara\u00a0Nicoya Peninsula,\u00a0Costa Rica<\/h6>\n

This tropical paradise eco-hotel is a stone\u2019s throw from Playa Guicones \u2013 one of the most stunning surf beaches on the Nicoya Peninsula. The wood and wicker furniture, palm trees, freshwater pool and open-plan layout give the hotel the feel of a 1950\u2019s Hawaiian resort.\u00a0 You won\u2019t find plasma TVs or high-tech gadgets, instead luxury comes in the form of a healing centre, organic food and sunrise yoga on the beach. The rooms\u2019 private patios, hammocks and outdoor showers make the most of the tropical garden setting; look out for howler monkeys, hummingbirds and iguanas, and keep the windows open to let the sound of the waves lull you to sleep.

Ebb Tide<\/h4>\n

Camps Bay Cape Town,\u00a0South Africa<\/h6>\n

With the majestic backdrop of the Twelve Apostles, Camps Bay is one of Cape Town\u2019s highlights. The palm-fringed beach is known for dramatic sunsets \u2013 and for some of the city\u2019s hippest bars and restaurants.\u00a0A short walk from all the action, these apartments are sleek and modern with private terraces and plunge pools \u2013 but the real stars of the show are the breath-taking ocean views. Stay here and you can take advantage of South Africa\u2019s world-class surfing then return to your apartment for a soak in a sea-view tub and a well-deserved beer. Each sleeps 2-6; self catering.

Bali Luxury Private Villa<\/h4>\n

Seseh Canggu,\u00a0Indonesia<\/h6>\n

This blissful villa-for-12 has it all \u2013 chic, tropical d\u00e9cor, garden bathrooms, an infinity pool and an unbeatable location. Set in exotic gardens, it is hidden away at the edge of an unspoilt fishing village, with views of swaying rice and palm-fringed surf. Happily, it is just 40 minutes from Denpasar airport.\u00a0The atmosphere is exclusive, private, laid-back and utterly luxurious. A team of delightful staff intuitively second guess your every need; the only decision you need concern yourself with is whether you can fit in a massage before sunset cocktails and canap\u00e9s.

Taru Villas \u2013 906<\/h4>\n

Hikkaduwa\u00a0Sri Lanka<\/h6>\n

This mellow bungalow, hugging Hikkaduwa\u2019s golden shores, is blissfully unpretentious.\u00a0Check the surf every morning from the veranda and enjoy a pre-breakfast swim in your pool. Hikkaduwa\u2019s buzzy surf scene is a short walk away, with some of the best surf breaks in southwest Sri Lanka \u2013 though the incredible home-cooked food and the nothing-is-too-much-attitude of the staff make it hard to leave the tranquillity of the villa. Hikkaduwa is also a\u00a0popular diving location; highlights include the Hikkaduwa Gala caves, rocky-bottomed Kiragala and some fascinating wrecks. Sleeps 2-6.

Playa Escondida<\/h4>\n

Pacific Coast\u00a0Mexico<\/h6>\n

This romantic jungle retreat with a private beach and laid-back vibe is just 10 minutes\u2019 from the surfy town of Sayulita; yet the hidden jungle setting and the sound of waves and birdsong will make you feel miles away from civilisation. Days pass blissfully; there are 29 colourful rooms and casitas\u00a0but you'd never know it thanks to the acres of space, and the giant fern and palm tree camouflage of the beautiful shoreline. If you have your fill of surfing, go humpback whale watching\u00a0or simply swing in a hammock, sipping margaritas and watching pelicans out at sea.

Windmills Break<\/h4>\n

Yallingup\u00a0Margaret River,\u00a0Australia<\/h6>\n

Windmills Break hotel is named after the stunning local surf beach. The Margaret River estuary is one of Australia\u2019s best surfing regions and its annual Classic Surfing Championships are held in November. The hotel has 10 acres of gorgeous gardens, and an infinity pool with loungers and a hot tub. The rooms are dressed in warm chocolates, creams and beiges, with striking landscape photographs on the walls. Yallingup, Eagle Bay and Bunker Bay beaches are all close by, as are the vineyards and wineries of the Margaret River region.

Lake Loft<\/h4>\n

Hossegor\u00a0Gascony,\u00a0France<\/h6>\n

The Landes region of southwest France boasts some of Europe's largest pine and cork forests, highest sand dunes and world-class surf breaks. This boutique B&B is a real hidden-gem with just four gorgeous bedrooms and cool designer touches, from vintage surfboards to Le Corbusier chaise longues. Decor is\u00a0beachside-industrial chic: sun-bleached kilims on polished cement floors, brilliant Pl\u00fcmacher prints on white walls. Come in early October when the town of Hossegor hosts the Quiksilver Pro France competition. Respite from the Atlantic breakers comes in the form of strolls through the pine forests or loungers by the hotel\u2019s heated pool.

Dar Lazuli<\/h4>\n

Essaouira\u00a0Morocco<\/h6>\n

This quirky, cosy riad is hidden deep within Essaouira\u2019s medina \u2013 right at the hub of things, yet only two minutes\u2019 from the beach. Its three\u00a0apartment suites are arranged around a central colonnaded courtyard, and\u00a0are amazing value. All have kitchens, sitting areas and exquisitely comfortable king-size beds \u2013 but if you\u2019re feeling lazy, there are plenty of restaurants in the vicinity. Essaouira is a surfers\u2019 paradise in winter and perfect for kite surfing\u00a0in summer.\u00a0When you\u2019re not in the ocean, you can go\u00a0camel riding, quad biking or pony trekking along the coast to the sand dunes at Sidi Kaouki. Or follow the coastal highway south towards Agadir to see goats climbing trees in the\u00a0Argan forest.
