JBR among top 10 trending beach destinations in Asia
More than 320 beaches across Asia were reviewed to come up with the ranking for the continent's trending shorelines for summer 2022.

The study, done by hotel brand Premier Inn, determined that Iho Tewoo Beach in South Korea, which is hidden behind a pine forest and known for its white and red horse-shaped lighthouses, is the most coveted location for beachgoers this year.

Iho Tewoo is followed closely by Jodogahama in Japan, thanks to its golden sands, volcanic rock formations and Japanese red pine trees, while White Beach in the Philippines, a four-kilometre stretch of white sand in Boracay, rounds out the top three.

Dubai's JBR Beach came in at ninth place, courtesy of its stunning views of the city's skyline and new attraction Ain Dubai. “With summer now upon us and this year feeling freer than the past few following further easing of travel restrictions, many will be looking for travel and adventure," said a Premier Inn representative.

"The world has so much to offer, so we were eager to provide a handy guide for those looking for a beach holiday or cultural landmark experience to kick off their travels.

"It’s great to see so many countries make the rankings including famous sights, and lesser-known hidden gems.”
