Made famous by the movie The Beach with Leonardo di Caprio, the movie maker Danny Boyle was right when he picked Maya Beach to be the setting of its masterpiece. Victim of its success following the movie, the beach even had to close temporarily in order to protect the surrounding nature. Now reopened, we advise you to head early in the morning or in the beginning of the evening to this mysterious beach of precious biodiversity.
If there is one beach where to do snorkeling, it is Atoll Ari. On the heavenly island of Maldives, this archipelago is just as you picture it: warm crystalline waters, white sand and a fascinating aquatic fauna.
