These are the most beautiful beaches of 2025

Don’t forget your beach towel, because The World’s 50 Best Beaches 2025 list is in and it’s pretty darn good. From dramatic cliffs to pink sand, these beaches will make short work of your staycation plans. And the good news is, the absolute number one is surprisingly close…

1. Cala Goloritzé, Sardinia | Italy

Cala Goloritzé is located on the east coast of Sardinia and is known for its limestone cliffs and clear blue water. The beach can only be reached via a hiking trail or by swimming from a moored boat. The number of visitors is limited daily, which helps to preserve this protected natural area.

2. Entalula Beach, Palawan | Philippines

Entalula is a small beach on the island of Palawan. It is only accessible by boat and is known for its white sand, green background and relatively low number of visitors. Its remote location makes it a quiet destination in an otherwise touristy area.

4. Fteri Beach, Kefalonia | Greece
