Summer and beaches are inextricably linked, so it makes sense that we can't get enough of gorgeous beach resorts and hotels this June. We reached out to other Sugar editors to find out where they love to stay when they're headed to a seaside locale, and we also researched some of the best beach resorts around the world. If you don't see your favorite location amongst our selections from Tunisia, Thailand, Tulum, and other international locations, be sure to add it in the comments. We'll be updating this post with dozens more must-stay-at beach hotels before the Summer ends!
