Best Beaches in Asia by Kurt Ganapathy
June 21, 2011
Picture yourself on holiday. Right now. There’s a good chance that the first image that springs to mind is swaying coconut trees, sand and colorful cocktails garnished with fruit and miniature umbrellas. No matter what sort of person you are in your day-to-day life, when it comes to places to rest, relax and simply get away from the grind, beaches are almost universal in their appeal. For whatever reason you’re heading to the seaside, here are eight of the best around Asia. Like the best beach to…
Haad Yao, Koh Phangan, Thailand
Koh Phangan is a familiar name that often lies buried beneath a torrent of alcohol and deafening bass. It is better known as the place where the famous Full Moon Party began, raging on the island’s Haad Rin beach since the mid 1980s. After you’re done partying with up to 30,000 people in a dance-till-dawn festival of booze in buckets and playing with fire, there’s a calmer, quieter escape just 40 minutes away.
Haad Yao is a soothing, tranquil retreat from that all-night binge. And besides, there are 353 days of the year where there isn’t a full moon within sight on Koh Phangan. The calm, shallow waters off Haad Yao, home to 3,000 species of marine life, are ideal for beginner scuba divers.
Get Cultured
Negombo, Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is famous for its tea, history, friendly people and gorgeous beaches, and Negombo on the country’s west coast brings its best elements together.
Less than 10km from Bandaranaike International Airport and 40km from the capital Colombo, this quiet town offers delightful slices of everyday life in Sri Lanka. The beach itself seems to go on forever, with dozens of resorts lining the broad stretch. A main road runs along the beach and by it you’ll find restaurants, bars, souvenir shops, convenience stores and tour companies.
Nicknamed “Little Rome” locally because of its many churches, some dating back to 17th-19th century colonial times, numerous canals flow through the town as reminders of the days of Dutch rule. A 17th century Dutch fort still stands near the center of Negombo, though it is in a rather poor state.
Negombo started out as, and remains, a fishing village, and you can organize a fishing trip of your own with one of the tour companies along its main road. At the end of the day, when you retreat to your hotel and sip on a Lion Beer on orange sands, you can watch the sun slowly dip into the Indian Ocean.
Song Saa, Cambodia
Just off the coast of the port city of Sihanoukville, in the Gulf of Thailand, lie about 20 small islands known as the Koh Rong Archipelago. Most of them haven’t been developed yet, but come later this year, a pair of them will welcome their first visitors. The islands are named Koh Ouen and Koh Bong, but they’re known as Song Saa—“The Sweethearts” in Khmer. This private escape is marked by a rainforest, pristine coral reefs and white sand beaches.
The islands are protected as part of a conservation area, and the waters are teeming with life—dugongs have been spotted among the fish and seahorses. If absolute seclusion is what you seek, you can take a boat trip to other neighboring islands that are completely deserted.
Get Your Marriage Started
Kihavah, The Maldives
How do you choose any one particular beach in a region where every island is beautiful to the point of looking digitally rendered? Well, we’re going with the one that has an underwater restaurant. Kihavah, one of the islands that make up Baa Atoll, is a dream getaway for any traveler, but honeymooners will be absolutely blown away by what it has to offer.
You can count on total privacy, expect a night sky filled with more stars than darkness, and you’ll wake up every morning to gorgeous orange sunrises and end each day with dramatic red sunsets. You can snorkel through clear, turquoise waters or set sail on a private boat for a day of island hopping.
