There is nothing quite like a vacation on the beach: the sun shining on your face, a fresh breeze blowing through your hair, and the sandy twinkling between your toes. Not all beaches are created equal, however, and the same holds true about beach hotels. Here are seven of the best beach hotel locations in the United States that deliver all the things you love about beaches:
Little Palm Island Resort & Spa, Little Torch Key, FL

This hotel is the ultimate romantic getaway with a white sandy beach and over six acres of private island only accessible by boat or sea plane. You will be taken away from everything and will be soaking up the sun with your significant other. Looe Key is a great place to visit as it is only minutes away the hotel and is reachable by kayak.

This hotel was recently renovated and is located on Waikiki Beach. It is nearly 100 years old and offers open-air dining and some of the best service in the world. The hotel boasts amazing ocean and volcano views, and the five acre resort lined with beaches is not too shabby either.
Mandarin Oriental, South Beach, Miami FL

The Mandarin Oriental is in Miami, in the middle of all the action. Everything you want to do in Miami is just a stone’s throw away and this hotel has unforgettable views of the ocean and cruise ship port. This hotel is a little pricey, but this is just one of many available hotels for your Miami getaway. There are plenty of other, more affordable options in the area if you like the location.

This hotel is a bit different from the others on the list, being in an Oceanic climate in Oregon’s Northern coast. The rooms all include balconies which boast picturesque views of the beaches and the world-famous Haystack Rock. The climate is quite moderate, making it perfect for a bonfire on the beach.
The Sanctuary Hotel, Kiawah Island, SC

The Sanctuary Hotel belongs to a fictional plantation family. The resort is somewhat of a natural phenomenon, with 160 mature oak trees at the entrance, and a beach that glows pink at sunset as shrimp boats line the resort. This resort has some of the best sunrises and sunsets in the country.
This list is not comprehensive, and everyone has their own tastes and expectations for a beach resort hotel. Do a bit of research and choose the beach hotel that best matches your idea of a beach getaway vacation. If you are planning to visit United States, you can apply for US visa online.
