Pink Beach on Komodo Island has officially been crowned the World's Most Beautiful Beach of 2025 by both Explore Worldwide UK travel company and Forbes, earning this prestigious recognition for its extraordinary pink-hued sand that creates one of nature's rarest coastal phenomena.
The beach's distinctive rosé-colored sand is formed by microscopic red marine organisms called Foraminifera that mix with white sand and crushed coral fragments, creating a stunning visual effect that changes shade depending on light conditions and coral content throughout the day.
Located within Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site in East Nusa Tenggara, Pink Beach (also known as Pantai Merah) offers visitors pristine turquoise waters teeming with vibrant marine life, healthy coral reefs, and encounters with local wildlife including free-roaming deer along the shoreline.
Travel experts determined the rankings through global surveys and input from expert guides worldwide, with the beach's exclusivity, untouched ecosystem, and limited accessibility via boat from Labuan Bajo contributing to its appeal as one of only seven pink beaches on the planet.
This international recognition solidifies Indonesia's position as a premier luxury travel destination, with Pink Beach offering visitors an unparalleled combination of natural beauty, biodiversity, and tranquil seclusion that distinguishes it from conventional crowded beach destinations worldwide.
