Whether you&#8217;re going solo, holidaying as a couple or a family or heading out with some mates, these Christmas beach holiday destinations have something for everyone.&nbsp; The fabled allure of Barbados beaches&nbsp; Barbados has always been one of the most fabled destinations, going back to the swashbuckling pirate days. It&#8217;s a wonderful place to spend the Christmas holidays in the Caribbean. The island is known for its diverse beaches. Those on the Atlantic Ocean are great for water sports, while the East Coast offers the serene waters of the Caribbean Sea. Crane Beach is a must, with cliffs and tropical vegetation as its backdrop. To scuba dive and see pirate artefacts, head to Carlisle Bay.&nbsp; Underwater adventures at the Maldives beaches The Maldives comprises 26 atolls, offering plenty of public beaches and private hideaways for Christmas beach holidays. You can sunbathe, swim, play water sports or go snorkelling to see its subterranean wonders. One of the most notable attractions is Olhuvelifushi Island. The sand is like powder, fringed with palm trees. For snorkelling, visit Shaviyani Atoll and head to Sirru Fen Fushi beach. Here you can view the unique Coralarium. This semi-submerged artificial coral reef has underwater artworks populated by tropical fish.&nbsp; Fun-filled Christmas beach holidays in Mexico&nbsp; Mexico is one of the most popular Christmas holiday destinations. The pick of the beaches here is Playa Delfines. It&#8217;s a completely natural beach, without a resort built around it \u2013 a rarity in bustling Cancun. The thatched palapas are free, and there are lifeguards and a kids&#8217; playground. If you&#8217;re a surfer, you probably know about Puerto Escondido Beach. In the world&#8217;s top 10, it&#8217;s ideal for beginners too. Advanced wave-riders can take on the Mexico Pipeline. For privacy, choose Playa del Caballo. Take a water taxi to Playa las Animas, and follow a short pathway to get there.&nbsp; St Lucia beaches: Caribbean oases&nbsp; St Lucia offers the ultimate in Christmas beach holidays. It&#8217;s warm but not too hot, so you can bask or play on its beaches all day long. The beach at Anse Chastanet takes the crown here. You can swim, tan, snorkel and fish. It&#8217;s naturally sheltered, with calm water. In Rodney Bay, you&#8217;ll find Reduit Beach. This is the archetypal Caribbean experience. Its white sands curve around a crescent bay, and the emerald and blue sea water is almost translucent. At the island&#8217;s northern tip is Smuggler&#8217;s Cove, secluded and unspoilt.&nbsp; Christmas holidays in pink on The Bahamas beaches The Bahamas beaches are unusual in that the sand is often more pink than white. Most people head to Nassau for Christmas beach holidays. Junkanoo Beach and Cable Beach are extremely popular, boasting all manner of amenities. If you want more privacy, the Tropic of Cancer Beach on Little Exuma Island offers rejuvenating peace and quiet. And if you want the full pink sand experience, you&#8217;ll find it on Harbour Island&#8217;s aptly named Pink Sands Beach.&nbsp; Antigua beaches by the hundreds&nbsp; There are literally hundreds of beaches on Antigua, making it one of the favourite Christmas holiday destinations.
