Whether you crave cold cocktails from a waterfront bar in Thailand or a wild jungle backdrop as you swim in Borneo, these trips will help you find your very own beach paradise in Asia.

The beaches of Asia are arguably the best in the world. Known for their gin-clear waters, talcum-powder sand and fantastic surfing, there are beaches within easy reach of bustling cities or secluded spots on hidden islands where you might not see another soul.

Bali, to Splash Around in Waterfall Rock Pools and Try Aerial Yoga

One of the best beach destinations in Asia, Bali is the tropical getaway dreams are made of. Its idyllic sandy coastline attracts surfers, honeymooners and families to its crystal-clear waters and powdery sand, but there’s also far more to Bali than beaches. This deeply spiritual nation is a treasure-trove of hillside temples, ancient monuments and lush green rainforest perfect for adventure. See it all on a 12-day TRIPS by Culture Trip tour of this Asian island which covers mountains, islands and beaches to really get under the skin of Bali. You won’t waste a single day in paradise either as your time will be jam-packed with e-bike rides through rice fields, swims in waterfall rock pools and the chance to trek up Mount Batur to watch the sunrise below. There’ll even be opportunities for aerial yoga sessions, Balinese cooking classes and a Balinese blessing ceremony to make this a holiday like no other.
