Maldives: Fari Beach Club

Accessible by boat from several luxury resorts on neighboring islands—and located on the same island as the just-opened Patina MaldivesFari Beach Club is the newest seaside social hangout in the Maldives. What visitors can expect: a curvy, infinity-edge pool fronting 600 feet of powder-soft white sands, and a restaurant and bar serving fresh-from-the-sea dishes like reef fish ceviche and perfect-for-the-beach beachy cocktails.

Capri: La Fontelina Beach Club

Only accessible by boat or a steep cliffside path, La Fontelina is a secluded gem, where locals and high-profile Italians dive off of Capri’s limestone rocks into the dazzling Tyrrhenian Sea. La Fontelina, the beach club’s lunchtime restaurant, is even more popular, thanks to its stunning views and delicious Italian fare.

Mykonos: Scorpios Beach Club

A less flashy version of Nammos, Scorpios quickly became the hotspot in Mykonos upon opening in 2015. It has since spawned a global wave of copycat clubs around the world trying to imitate its at once easy-breezy and chic vibes—with little success. The luxurious beach lounge features a boutique and restaurant, where well-heeled patrons can enjoy refreshing Greek staples like arugula and watermelon salad and grilled octopus. Days are spent lounging on daybeds shaded by thatched roofs, while nights are a more lavish affair with DJs and dancing into the early hours.
