It is everyone’s tropical vacation fantasy – relaxing on a stretch of pristine white-sand beach, lapped by azure waters and shaded by gently waving palm fronds from the golden sunshine blazing down from a cloudless sky. Sugary white beaches are a holiday idyll which never fail to enchant and enthral; and if you’re planning an unforgettable seaside break and want to know just where the absolute whitest beaches can be found then you have come to the right place!

Maldives

Some of the snowiest white beaches on the planet can be found in the Maldives, a breath-taking archipelago of 1,102 islands surrounded by the sparkling waves of the Indian Ocean. Thanks to their incredible beaches, unspoilt coral reefs and world-class diving spots, the Maldives attract many tourists each year and have become a highly popular honeymoon spot. It doesn’t matter which island you pick for your holiday destination, you are sure to be impressed by the beauty of the sands and glittering blue waters.

Bora Bora

This stunning island in French Polynesia is ringed by pristine white beaches lapped by the waters of a crystalline lagoon. The most popular beach on the island is also the largest; Matira, a dazzling swathe of milk-white sand fringed with palm trees where tourists flock to take advantage of the exhilarating water sports on offer, or just to sunbathe and enjoy a scenic stroll along the shoreline. Thanks to the water conditions, the coral reef and lagoon off Matira Point also offers unbeatable diving and snorkelling opportunities; you could even try swimming with dolphins for a truly unforgettable Bora Bora holiday experience.

Cambodia

You might not instantly conjure up images of endless white sand beaches when you think of Cambodia, but this breathtakingly beautiful country boasts some of the most amazing beaches in the region. Particularly stunning is the south-western shoreline of Koh Rong, which stretches away as far as the eye can see for a grand total of 5km, and Sokha Beach in Sihanoukville, which is privately owned by the 5 star Sokha Beach Resort – though a small portion of the beach is also open to the public. Stretching for over a kilometre, this wide stretch of powder-soft sand is sure to be irresistible, and is home to a collection of upmarket restaurants and bars in case you happen to feel peckish in between swimming and sunbathing.
