Most of the Earth's mass is covered by great big bodies of water, but around each of these massive oceans lies a splendid stretch of coastline just waiting to be explored. The diversity of the planet's beaches offers enough thrilling adventures to keep you occupied for the rest of your life, and if you're a world traveler, get ready to add these beautiful coastlines to your globetrotting bucket list. Whether you're a sun goddess, water sports enthusiast or simply a curious jet-setter, you can get your vacation fix at any of these luxury destinations across the globe. All you have to do is start searching for luxury vacation rentals.

Here are some spots to check out:

Maui
Do yourself a favor and visit one of the United States' most unique states: Hawaii. This cluster of tropical islands is bound to make any family vacation, honeymoon retreat or girls' getaway the ultimate source of rest and relaxation, especially when you reserve Hawaiian villas large enough to give everyone their own private space. If you do choose Maui over other islands, be sure to check out Ka'anapali Beach, a fan favorite of repeat visitors. The three-mile beach is a great spot for surfing, snorkeling and even whale watching, but those who just want to stretch out and bask in the sun will have just as much fun too. When you need a break, numerous restaurants, shopping boutiques and golf courses can keep you satisfied until nightfall.

Santorini
Luxurious enough for celebrities, Santorini is one of the immaculate jewels of Greece. Gorgeous luxury rentals abound on this island, and cliff-side ocean views surround you from every angle, making practically each second of your vacation a prime photo opportunity. Keep your cameras or Instagram ready at all times. One of the most famous spots for sunning and swimming is Santorini's Red Beach, which can be found near the village of Akrotiri. The small size of this coastline means that you might have a crowded beach day when you visit, but if you get there early enough, you can claim your sandy piece of real estate and enjoy your day. Behind you, towering slabs of red and black volcanic rock give the beach its name, and the views from atop the cliffs or on the water are spectacular.

Thailand
If you find perfect villa vacation rentals in Thailand, then you'll get the deluxe pleasure of experiencing Koh Samui, a tranquil beach that many people retreat to when they're looking for a rejuvenating and meditative vacation. Off the coast of the Kra Isthmus in Thailand, this small landmass is a great day trip idea for those staying in Thailand villa rentals.
