The World's 50 Best Beaches has released its highly anticipated annual list of the top beaches across the globe. The list is the result of a unique collaboration with over 1,000 of the world's leading travel influencers and professionals, including prominent names such as Miss.everywhere, Terplanet, Sassychris, Pilot Madeleine, Missangievilla and others.

Unlike any other ranking, The World's 50 Best Beaches is based on votes from its network of Judges as well as from over 1,000 vetted travel professionals - including industry experts and high-profile influencers. This ensures the ranking reflects real, on-the-ground expertise, not general reviews or popularity metrics.

"Our 2025 list is the result of countless days spent by our judges, Beach Ambassadors, and the World's 50 Best team exploring coastlines across the globe," said Tine Holst, Co-Founder of The World's 50 Best Beaches. "Our mission is to inspire travelers to go beyond the typical tourist hotspots and discover the kind of beach experiences they've always dreamed of—places that are truly breathtaking, peaceful, and unforgettable."

The World's 50 Best Beaches 2025 is a reflection of the collective expertise and travel experience of some of the most trusted voices in the industry. Beaches were evaluated across eight key criteria: unique characteristics, wildlife, untouched nature, natural soundtrack, ease of water entry, frequency of calm conditions, lack of overcrowding, and consistency of idyllic settings.

The World's 50 Best Beaches team spent months consulting with top travel experts and influencers, aggregating their nominations and ranking the beaches based on both the volume of votes and how well each scored against the set criteria. By tapping into the direct experience and insights of those shaping the travel landscape, the list represents a truly expert-driven guide to the best beaches in the world.
