Pretty is one thing, but sexy sparks a whole new set of images into our brains. The world's sexiest beaches are often sizzling hot, boasting miles upon miles of shoreline and loads of sun worshippers who take much pride in their flawless physiques. While many beaches can provide you with a relaxing place to lie, only some are deemed as the sexiest stretches of sand on the planet. If you're thinking about reserving luxury rentals somewhere tropical and aren't sure where you and your special someone should stay, here are some places that are guaranteed to satisfy your vacation desires.

St. Tropez
The French beach, St. Tropez, can thank Brigitte Bardot for launching its splendid shores to fame with the 1956 film "And God Created Woman," where she frolicked among the waves. Famous visitors abound the region in the summer, taking luxury cruises in their own private yachts, sipping on the finest Champagne, kicking off their Manolo Blahnik flip flops on the St. Tropez sand and enjoying cocktails at a number of elite bars, including Le Voile Rouge and Club 55, which you can find along the Bay of Pampelonne. After you've chosen one place from a variety of exotic French villas, you can start thinking about activities to add to your itinerary, such as visiting lesser-known coves for fishing adventures or cliff diving off peaks covered in citrus trees.

Thailand
Brilliant shades of turquoise, green, sky blue and white surround you when you set foot on Thailand's Ko Phi Phi Don beaches. The colors of the water, sand, forest-covered cliffs and clear sky shine as if you had turned up the hue and saturation levels in a photo as far as they could possibly go - except what you're looking at is real. If what you are seeking is a private getaway with your significant other, Thailand's landscape may be all you need to heat up your vacation and bring you closer than ever before.

Santorini
The Greek island of Santorini is sexy not just because it boasts a topless beach or two, but because of its quiet solitude and intense scenery. The white and blue buildings perched on hilltops look like a scene from a picture book, and the gorgeous sparkling water below beckons you to dive in. Whether you're looking for sparkling white, black or red sand beaches, you can find it all here, only seconds away from your Greek vacation rental.
