Online travel industry agency Trip recently conducted a study to determine the best beach destinations on the planet. To rank its findings, it considered hundreds of millions of data points from its platform, including customer reviews, sales popularity, and each place’s unique features. After reviewing all the data, it was named Bali, Indonesia, the No. 1 island destination on the planet.
Bali is made up of a few islands, but it is arguably one of the most famous hotspots in the country with its vibrant local culture and gorgeous temples. During a trip here, visitors can also see and experience things like majestic waterfalls, volcanoes, calm coves, and rice terraces. There is also something in Bali for every kind of beach lover—surfers like to flock to Uluwatu, Canggu and Kuta to shred the tropical waves. The local surf culture is known for being relaxed and friendly, with surf camps like Goddess retreats open to beginners who are hoping to enjoy the waves and learn something new. Meanwhile, scuba divers often head to the north of the island to swim among manta rays, reef sharks and turtles. Bali’s most famous five sites, the USAT Liberty Shipwreck, are renowned for their soft coral, angelfish, garden eels, and other underwater creatures. Whether you want to spend your holiday watching the waves crash off dramatic cliffs or snorkelling with colourful fish, Bali has the beach for you. Other destinations that made the list include Phuket, Thailand, Male, Maldives, Sanya, China and Singapore.
