This summer, the travel company Kuoni shared a list of the 20 most paradise-like beaches on the planet. Their team studied more than 180 famous beaches, using travel experts’ suggestions and recommendations from top travel magazines.
To find the best ones, they checked traveler reviews on popular websites and looked for beaches where people used the word “paradise” in their comments. After analyzing everything, Port Olry Beach in Vanuatu was named the No. 1 most paradise-like beach in the world.
According to the Kuoni team, Port Olry Beach is beautiful because of its tropical scenery, clean golden sand, turquoise water, and peaceful atmosphere. Located on the east coast of Espiritu Santo, it has everything you imagine in a perfect beach—lush greenery, soft sand, and clear blue water.
Travelers also agree. Many reviews on Tripadvisor describe Port Olry as truly “paradise.” People love its calm vibe, small restaurants, and picture-perfect beauty.
But Port Olry isn’t the only stunning spot on the list.
The Bazaruto Archipelago National Park in Mozambique was ranked second. It’s known for its white sand dunes, crystal-clear water, and amazing wildlife. Visitors can even spot flamingos, dolphins, and the rare dugong.
At No. 3 is One Foot Island in the Cook Islands. It’s described as a “postcard-perfect lagoon.” Travelers love how private it feels and even mention the island’s special footprint passport stamp.
Marco Rocha from Kuoni said that “paradise” can mean different things to different people, but most travelers look for beautiful scenery, wildlife, good facilities, and a feeling of privacy.
And honestly—that sounds like paradise to anyone.
