Maya Bay, Koh Phi Phi, Thailand

Updated: Dec 8, 2022

There are plenty of beautiful beaches in the world, but Maya Bay is one of the most stunning.


The beach is located on Thailand’s Koh Phi Phi and consists of a ring of white sand surrounded by mangroves and towering limestone walls blanketed by dense foliage. You can see why director Danny Boyle chose this beach for cult-favorite The Beach, starring Leonardo DiCaprio.


The main beach within the bay is around 200 m (650 ft) long and features silky soft white sand, with underwater colorful coral and exotic fish in exceptionally clear water.


Koh Phi Phi, Thailand is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Southeast Asia. It's known as a paradise for divers, but it's also a popular destination for travelers who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.


The beaches are all surrounded by tall limestone cliffs that rise up from the shallow turquoise waters, making it feel like you're walking on top of the ocean itself. The water is clear as turquoise with baby sharks swimming around, and the sand has been described as "white as snow."


The island has been closed to tourists for almost four years due to political unrest, so now is a great time to visit!
