Best beach holidays in Asia
If there’s one thing that Asia knows how to do well, it’s a luxurious beach holiday. Stylish accommodation sits within toe-touching distance of the shoreline in destinations such as Vietnam and Cambodia, and for those who want more than soft sands and sweeping views, there’s an array of watersports to keep you occupied.
Whether you’re looking for a barefoot escape, world-class scuba diving, or a secluded private island, Lightfoot Travel can help. Between sporty Krabi, beautiful Phuket and laid-back Koh Samui, Thailand’s beach destinations are ideal for a relaxed getaway.
Bali offers a sun-drenched beach holiday with dazzling temples, padi fields and hiking adventures around Mount Agung. Also serving up more off the beaten track tropical beaches and culture is Myanmar, with its gilded pagodas and fascinating history.
Made up of more than 7,000 islands, the Philippines has no lack of stunning beaches. Year-round tropical weather means you can get your dose of sun, sand and sea no matter what the season.
