The Best Island Beaches to Spend your Vacation

Planning for a vacation on a beach island but have no clue where to go? Daydreaming about relaxing on white sandy beaches with the people you love is something that is common, but have trouble turning it into reality.

If you are having second thoughts and struggling about which beach island is the best vacation spot for you, then perhaps this list could help you! Here are some of the best island beaches in the world.

CHAWENG BEACH, KOH SAMUI, THAILAND

Koh Samui Island in Thailand is world-famous for its many white-sand beaches and clear waters, and one of the famous ones is Chaweng Beach. This is considered to be the busiest part of Koh Samui with an active nightlife with bars and restaurants scattered everywhere.

Yes, this is also where the world-famous k-pop group BLACKPINK, spent their vacation in their series ‘BLACKPINK TV’! The girls of BLACKPINK seemed to have an unspoken curse with them since they bring rain everywhere they go.

But they pulled through with their vacation and enjoyed parasailing, riding a banana boat, and explored the lively nightlife of Chaweng Street. So if you want to spend your vacation like k-pop superstars, then maybe this is the best option for you!

However, if you worry about not being able to stay precisely where BLACKPINK stayed (because of obvious reasons), there are many villa rentals in the area of Koh Samui available at affordable prices that you wouldn’t have to worry looking. After all, It’s the thought that counts, right?
