5 Asian Beaches To See Before I Die
Warm waters, white sand, reliable sunny weather. A lifetime will probably not be enough to explore all the wonderful beaches in Asia. But if you press me to narrow it down to 5, here are the top five beaches, in alphabetical order, which I would like to see and visit in the next few years (not that I have any intention of dying anytime soon):
- Bali, Indonesia: Despite chronic terrorism issues and natural disasters, I just have to see the Travel & Leisure’s Best Island Resort.
- Boracay, Philippines: Rated one of the finest beaches in the world, Boracay is probably the first I’d be able to see among this list.
- Danang Beach, Vietnam : rated one of the most luxurious beach destinations in the world by Forbes magazine
- Koh Samui, Thailand : An 80 minute flight south of Bangkok, this island is supposedly less tourist-packed than Phuket. And best: there are accommodations to fit just about any budget!
- Maldives: 1,190 coral islands, forming an archipelago of 26 major atolls. 202 are inhabited, 87 are exclusive resort islands. Any one of those 87 you’d like to recommend?
How about you? Which tropical paradise in Asia are you dreaming of?
