The Golden Beach Awards are held yearly, and they look at diverse criteria to select the best beaches in the world, such as their cultural significance, value to the local community, inclusivity, and overall lifestyle offerings.

Beach Atlas doesn’t just assess the natural beauty of each beach but also the “Party and Nightlife “and the sense of community and cultural significance. A panel of influencers and experts passed their votes on their favorite beaches. An approach that allows Beach Atlas to highlight unique beaches that are typically not included in the traditional best beach list.
The selection process involved travel experts and influencers worldwide who voted and compiled a list. The selection expands criteria and value to the local community and guides travelers wishing to explore top destinations.
