Sea & Sand

Hotels on the finest water in the world, where the sea is the first thing you see.

The finest hotels by the sea put the water at your door. These are the ones that open it to the dog.

A great beach hotel is built around the water: the pool that runs into the horizon, the terrace above the surf, the path down through the palms to the sand. These are seven of them, from the Pacific coast of Mexico and the Gulf of Thailand to the Caribbean, Florida and the Riviera, each one chosen because your dog is as welcome by the sea as you are.
