Similan Islands has reclaimed the spotlight with Donald Duck Bay securing the 10th position on the 2026 World's Most Beautiful Beaches ranking. The island features stunning powder-fine white sand that feels like walking on cotton candy, water so transparent it seems unreal, and the famous giant granite rock formation shaped like Donald Duck—a must-visit photo spot offering unforgettable views of Similan blue. Three beaches from the archipelago made the top 30 list, including Paradise Beach and Freedom Beach, thanks largely to Thailand's annual limited-access conservation policy that has preserved the area's pristine ecosystem. The combination of natural beauty and environmental stewardship makes Similan an ideal destination for 2026 island getaways.
