BEST OF THE BEST BEACH
THE DESERVING TITLE AS 'THE BEACH'
Maya Bay in Thailand gained global fame from its appearance in the film "The Beach" and is undoubtedly one of the best beaches in the world, earning its spot on the 'Best of the Best' list. Located on Phi Phi Ley Island, the calm bay is encircled by soaring limestone cliffs draped in lush jungle, creating a naturally secluded feel. Recently reopened to the public after a closure to recover from environmental damage caused by heavy tourism, this stunning bay has seen significant ecological restoration. Since reopening, access has been carefully controlled to protect its environment. This management strategy has restored the area’s beauty, reaffirming Maya Bay's status as "THE Beach."

THE PERFECT DAY AT Maya Bay
To fully enjoy the perfect ocean conditions, visit during late January to March when the ocean is calm, glassy, and crystal clear. Although November to March is peak tourist season, June to October is the rainy season. Maya Bay has just reopened to tourists, and you must now arrive by boat on the backside of the island. You have a short 5-minute flat walk through the jungle to get to the beach. As it is regulated, the number of people on the beach is about the same at all times, and you get to spend about an hour at the beach during a tour. For a more peaceful experience, head to the far end of the beach. However, swimming is not allowed, so you can only dip your feet.
