In the new summer edition of Luxury Travel magazine and the first issue of 2016, we uncover the best, luxury beachfront resorts where the only thing between your bed and an exotic beach may be a small private lawn. We suggest the exact room category to book for the most direct and unobstructed beach access at properties in Australia, South-East Asia, South Pacific and The Maldives, Seychelles and Mauritius.
