Cox's Bazar — The Complete Domestic Travel Guide
The world's longest beach has hidden gems. We cover the best hotels and side-trips.
Cox's Bazar is home to the world's longest natural sea beach, and it's an easy domestic getaway from anywhere in Bangladesh. Here's how to plan the perfect trip.
Getting there
Daily flights connect Dhaka and Chittagong to Cox's Bazar in under an hour. If you prefer the road, comfortable AC coaches run overnight from Dhaka in about 10 hours.
Where to stay
Kolatoli and Marine Drive have the best beachfront resorts, from five-star options with infinity pools to comfortable mid-range hotels a short walk from the sand.
Beyond the main beach
Drive along Marine Drive to Himchari's waterfalls and Inani Beach's coral stones. For a longer trip, take a boat to Saint Martin's Island — the only coral island in Bangladesh.
Best time to visit
November to March offers the most pleasant weather and calm seas. Avoid the monsoon months (June–September) when the sea is rough and many side-trips pause.
