Orbitz Blog

Want to hit the beach, but you’re not sure where to go? Check out Orbitz’s innovative new search tool, which helps travelers plan a beach vacation based on their specific needs and interests.

When you visit MyIdealBeach.com, you’ll be asked to identify who’s traveling (family with kids, for example), choose your preferred
activities (e.g. shopping, golf, nightlife), and identify hotel features and amenities (spa, gay-friendly, etc.) you want.

You also can modify your results based on region and sort results by price, location, and hotel star rating.

The tool searches more than 450 of Orbitz’s top beachfront hotels in the United States, the Caribbean, Mexico and South America that have been hand-picked and ranked by Orbitz’s team of hotel market managers based on the criteria.

Travelers can then choose from a recommended list of select properties — from South Beach hotels to Maui hotels to Myrtle Beach hotels — that most closely match their ideal beach. All inclusive vacations also are among the options.
