Landaa Giraavaru is an island in the Baa Atoll in the Maldives (UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve). Frankly, any of the beaches in the Maldives are incredible!

2) Krabi, Thailand

Krabi is on the west coast of southern Thailand at the mouth of the Krabi River where it flows into Phang Nga Bay. There are great Thai houses close to the beach to rent and nice sleepy beaches (except for long tail boats of course).

3) Koh Yao Noi, Thailand
