Asia, chiefly Southeast Asia, is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. From forgotten island getaways with limited electricity, to busy tourist landscapes with vibrating nightlife — the beaches in Asia can offer something to everyone.

Koh Lanta, Thailand

Situated in Thailand on the Andaman Sea, calm Koh Lanta is an ideal example of the delightful Thai islands. Expect lots of endless comfort, yet not too separated or without contemporary advantages and options to eat. Long, soft-sand seashores provide enough for everyone and enjoyable cottages substitute the average high-rise hotels found in nearby Phuket.

The Maldives

The Maldives are one of the most unique holiday locations in the world. With only 115 rectangle kilometers of land huge on small coral atolls distributed across a large number of kilometers of island Blue Ocean, you cannot find a more wonderful place to enjoy the sea.

The Maldives is a top honeymoon vacation location in Asia. Many hotels take up their own islands with abundance of personal sand for everyone.

Unawatuna, Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is an often neglected location in Asia as far as tourism is concerned, however, with miles of stunning shoreline and tourism on the recovery path, the secret won’t remain hidden for long.

Unawatuna is one of Sri Lanka’s popular seashores with cafes and dining places open right onto the sand. Visit Unawatuna for affordable and clean fish. Smooth sand and good swimming makes Unawatuna one of the top options for sea holidaying.

Perhentian Islands, Malaysia

Malaysia’s two Perhentian Islands are picture-perfect sections of heaven without high-rise buildings or noisy and contaminated street transport. The busier of the two islands, Perhentian Kecil, attracts backhackers who come to celebrate, have fun and sit in the sun during the active season.

Perhentian Besar, the bigger and classier choice in the Perhentians, enjoys the same outstanding scuba snorkeling and diving but gets calmer in the evening. Awesome hotels and bungalows offered by Malaysia holiday packages serve a more short-time holiday crowd.

Goa, India

Located in the southwest, Goa is India’s tiniest and wealthiest state. Once well-known as a place for hippies in search of cheap drugs, Goa has evolved in style. Anjuna Beach is perhaps all that remains of the hippie legacy; backpackers choose Arambol or Palolem these days.
