Laiya Beach
The beach curves for several kilometres, lined with resorts ranging from budget to boutique. Pale sand slopes gently into water so calm you wade out thirty metres before needing to swim. Vendors circulate with grilled seafood, fresh coconuts, and halo-halo, while jet skis buzz the shoreline and volleyball games erupt spontaneously.
