Tripadvisor, a website that provides travel advice, announced its Travelers Choice Awards: Best of the Best Beaches of 2025, which lists the world’s top beaches according to quality and quantity of reviews.
Those who have been to Elafonissi Beach in Crete, Greece, say it is the best beach in the world this year. The stunning and secluded beach features magnificent blue sea and warm pink sand. May and September provide more chances to enjoy the beach without the crowds, even though it gets congested in the summer.
The opinions of millions of tourists worldwide are distinctively reflected in Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards, which assist users in making the finest travel arrangements possible. Beaches aren’t simply for sunbathing in my family; we also like to explore! According to Tripadvisor President Kristen Dalton, the diversity of this year’s winners truly exemplifies everything that a beach vacation can have to offer.
There is truly something for everyone, whether it is diving in Thailand’s enchanted bioluminescent waters, soaking in the stunning views of Indonesia, or strolling down the gorgeous pink sand beaches of our world champion, Elafonissi Beach, in Greece.
