Maya Bay is a stunningly beautiful bay that's sheltered by 100-metre high cliffs on 3 sides. You can enjoy several beaches here. Most are small and some only exist at low tide. The main beach is around 200 metres long with silky soft white sand. The whole bay is one big reef and the underwater scene features colourful coral and exotic fish in exceptionally clear water.
Maya Bay became a top attraction on Phi Phi after The Beach (1999) was shot here. It was always very popular before the film but ever since the film came out, people around the world who haven't even heard of Phi Phi have certainly heard of Maya Bay.
