El Nido
The gift that nature bestows upon tropical nations is perhaps its islands and seas, and the Philippines is no exception. El Nido is the most outstanding tourist destination in Palawan and a source of national pride. Located at the northernmost tip of the Palawan mainland, El Nido boasts over 50 mysterious beaches and swimming areas, along with stunning limestone islands. El Nido was ranked among the top 4 in Conde Nast Travelers' list of "20 Most Beautiful Beaches in the World."
The sea in El Nido is clear and turquoise, creating a gentle and cool feeling. Whether you know how to swim or not, you'll want to plunge into that crystal-clear water, enjoying the most refreshing moments of the hot summer days.
Nai Harn
Nai Harn Beach is one of Phuket's top beaches, located on the south side of Phuket Island. It's an ideal Thai tourist destination for those seeking peace and quiet and privacy. This beautiful beach never gets crowded like some other popular tourist beaches. You can also enjoy snorkeling and surfing on both the east and west sides of the beach. Most days of the week, Nai Harn Beach is quite tranquil and suitable for visitors who prefer a relaxing swim or sunbathing.
Phra Nang
Phra Nang Beach is located at the southern tip of Railay, a peninsula on the Andaman Sea coast. Phra Nang Beach is famous for its long stretch of white sand and cliffs at both ends. Thanks to its warm waters and pleasant weather year-round, Ao Phra Nang is an ideal vacation spot. It also serves as a gateway to nearby islands such as Ko Kai, Ko Lanta, and Ko Phi Phi, which visitors can reach by ferry.
What's special here is that food and drinks are sold right on the boats along the beach. You can grab a beer, lie in the sun, and watch people try their hand at rock climbing.
Lombok
Lombok is an island situated between two famous Indonesian destinations: Bali and Sumbawa. If you're looking for a dreamy tropical getaway, get ready to explore Lombok, a world far removed from the hustle and bustle of other popular beaches. Here, the natural landscape and traditional customs of the Saksa people have been preserved and maintained unchanged for centuries. Lombok also boasts stunning coral reefs, so don't miss the opportunity to see them up close through snorkeling and diving. And be sure to enjoy the delicious grilled seafood at the local restaurants.
Tanjung Rhu
Tanjung Rhu impresses with its endless, pristine beach. Unlike the beauty of Maldives-style beaches, the sea in front of Tanjung Rhu isn't a vast, empty expanse but is dotted with islands and mountain ranges. The water here isn't turquoise or multicolored like in the Maldives, but the waves are very gentle, making it a wonderful place for those who want to immerse themselves in cool, blue water to relax.
If you visit during low tide, you can admire a long stretch of sand extending to distant islands. Additionally, Tanjung Rhu is one of the best beaches in Langkawi for those who enjoy parasailing. However, this sport is only for those who aren't afraid of heights and have a passion for flying.
