(CNN)From Australia to the Caribbean, there"s no shortage of beautiful beachfront hotels around the world to choose from.
But some are, quite simply, more beautiful than others.
Whether you"re after a glitzy, all-inclusive resort or a low-key island hideaway, we"ve picked 21 of the world"s most stunning.
Soneva Kiri (Koh Kood, Thailand)
Sandwiched between the mountains and ocean on the southernmost tip of Mexico"s Baja Peninsula, this Spanish Colonial resort has the best address in Cabo San Lucas.
Rooms are huge and beautiful, decorated with Mexican art and outfitted with fireplaces, terraces and plunge pools.
Though the resort is directly on the beachfront and every room has a pool, there are four additional pools onsite -- including a swim-up bar steps from the ocean.
Its signature restaurant, El Farallon, offers clifftop dining and some of the best seafood in Los Cabos.
Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora (Bora Bora, French Polynesia)
Opened in 2008, the Four Seasons is Bora Bora"s newest resort and arguably its most beautiful.
It"s made up of 100 overwater, thatched-roof bungalows that stretch out over an emerald lagoon, several of which have their own private pools.
For those who prefer to stay on land, there"s a handful of spacious villas strung along a white sand beach.
There"s also a cathedral-like spa and a large infinity pool flanked by chic teak loungers and thatched cabanas.
The Setai (Miami, USA)
With its sleek facade and high-rise appeal, the Setai feels more like a hip urban hotel than a beachfront resort -- a refreshing contrast from its garish, candy-colored South Beach neighbors.
Inside can be found a striking Art Deco-meets-Eastern aesthetic: slate-colored marble, teak accents and Asian artwork.
Suites are similarly zen and feature enormous handmade Swedish wooden beds and sumptuous black granite soaking tubs.
Outside are three stunning pools -- heated at 75 degrees Fahrenheit, 85 degrees and 90 degrees respectively -- located steps from South Beach.
