Which island can rival Maldives in seawater, beaches and fish?

I have been to Saipan, Phuket and Bali. Recommend racha Island in Phuket, which meets all your requirements.

The color of Saipan sea water is very beautiful, it is very beautiful dark blue. Diving to see corals is not bad, few people are quiet. However, the beach is thick and the accommodation is a hotel, which doesn't feel like an island hotel in Maldives.

Generally, the lively beaches in the southwest of Bali are surfing, and the sea water is of average color. Snorkeling in the sun is going to the north or east, which is a bit long, and the beach in the north is dark, which is very different from the white sand that people think. In fact, I think the most beautiful place in Bali is the central mountainous area. Enjoying private villas and artistic atmosphere in the valley, swimming and snorkeling are not Bali's strengths.

Racha Island in Phuket, translated as Emperor Island and Racha Island, just went this Spring Festival. You can see incredible fish on the white sand beach, snorkeling with transparent seawater and flour. You don't even have to sail. There are many big fish swimming around the shore, which fully meets your requirements. There are two hotels on the island, and the luxurious RACHA HOTEL occupies a large white beach. The environment is beautiful, comparable to Maldives except that there is no water house. But this hotel is also very expensive, depending on your budget.

If the budget is relatively small, I suggest you also consider going snorkeling in Zhudao near Maya Bay or Pipi Island, which also meets your requirements for seawater beaches and snorkeling. When we went snorkeling, the sea was as transparent as crystal, surrounded by fish of all colors, which was really hard to forget. If you want to save money, you can sign up for a one-day tour in the local area, but if you want to have fun, you can still stay in Pipi Island and charter a long-tailed boat to go snorkeling.
