Maya Bay

Maya Bay is one of the most beautiful attractions in Koh Phi Phi, a beauty surrounded by limestone formations spanning 100 feet.

Secluded by three 100-metre high cliffs, Maya Bay is like a precious gemstone guarded by these giant, solid rock formations – and a gemstone it is! It’s gorgeous beach and coasts were featured in the 1999 film The Beach and is definitely a worthy coastline to show to the world. It’s beautiful dunes hugged by approaching cyan waves are a sight to behold. The place is also well-maintained even though it is a popular location for the tourists – its cleanliness adds to its allure. Snorkelling, diving, and sea kayaking are the most sought activities to be done while in Maya Bay, yet, just swimming in its waters is also fulfilling enough. There are no accommodation services in the island, and it would do you well to bring your tents and camp the night out if you want, just remember to also bring flashlights or emergency lamps because fires are not allowed. Overall, Maya Bay offers that intimacy, relaxation, and satisfaction that are a must for any vacation.
