Magnificent Maya Bay location map
The Maya Bay in the Phi Phi Islands is shallow with crystal clear water and splendid coral formations. Both novice and experienced divers are drawn to Maya Bay because of its abundant rock formation that drop to a depth of 18 meters; and just outside the bay - the 30 meter wall dive with caves, valleys and swim-throughs made by underwater rock formations. Snorkeling is also popular in Maya Bay. The visibility is unlimited in gentle waters, and the experience is nothing short of magnificent. It is said that Maya Bay has the most stunning beach in Phi Phi, and embraces luxury with the fragrance of orange jasmines lacing the wealthy rural Maya Bay Thai village nestled in the bay.
