One may have travelled far and wide, but even the seasoned traveller is always in search of undiscovered, pristine shores that have never known crowds.

Paradizo.com, which is claimed to be the premiere resource for luxury vacations, specialising in all memorable holiday experiences, from ski trips to luxury beach vacations, suggests the following top Undiscovered Beaches for 2010:

Koh Lanta is the southernmost island of Thailand’s Krabi Province, far from the tourism boom of neighbouring Phuket and Koh Samui. As a laid-back escape, Koh Lanta is an unspoiled paradise. One may head out to the area’s secluded Pimalai Resort hideaway offering luxurious beachfront villas .

Anse Cocos on La Digue is far from the well-trodden shores of Anse Source d’Argent in Seychelles. Only accessible by foot, you may have to scramble over some boulders but know that the rocky shores keep out intruders in your own private cove.
