Secluded beaches of Phuket
ChatGPT сказал:
Behind the façade of Phuket’s resort life lie hidden corners where time seems to slow down. Here, instead of bar music, you hear the whisper of palm leaves; instead of crowds of tourists — the gentle surf and the scent of the sea. Even on Thailand’s most popular island, you can still find places where nature carefully preserves an atmosphere of peace and solitude. We’ll tell you about the beaches of Phuket and nearby islands where you can escape the rush and find your zen.
Sangchai
A small beach made up of just a few coves with crystal-clear water and fine white sand. It’s easy to get here — the beach is located not far from Rawai.
Even in the high season, Sangchai remains quiet and uncrowded. Its charm lies not only in the sense of seclusion but also in the trees lining the beach, offering plenty of shade from the blazing sun.
Laem Sing
The secluded Laem Sing Beach is set in a bay surrounded by tropical trees. To get there, you need to follow a narrow path from the southern end of Surin Beach. You can also reach it by boat from Surin or Kamala.
This beach is the perfect spot for those seeking peace and solitude, wanting to go snorkeling, or simply enjoy the sunset in quiet contemplation.
Hua Beach
The beach is located next to Kamala Beach and can be reached by car or motorbike. There are almost never any waves here, but the tides are quite pronounced.
Tropical trees grow along the shore, offering shade from the heat, and rocky cliffs on both sides of the bay make for stunning photos — especially since no other tourists will be getting into your frame.
Honeymoon Beach on Koh Bon Island
The small uninhabited island of Koh Bon is located just 10 km from Phuket, and you can reach it from Rawai by boat in just 5–10 minutes. This spot is perfect for those who want to connect with nature or go diving. Along the coast, you’ll find several tiny deserted beaches and a single hotel.
This is where “Honeymoon” Beach is located — as the name suggests, it’s the perfect spot for a romantic getaway for couples. The place is often called the “Thai Maldives” thanks to its powdery white sand and turquoise waters.
Lighthouse Beach
Until recently, this beach was a hidden spot without even a name, but now it’s marked on Google Maps as Lighthouse Beach. How to get there: if you’re coming from Rawai Beach, you’ll see a steep descent on the left just before reaching Promthep Cape. The path is quite steep and rugged in places, with a rope thoughtfully installed to help you climb safely. You can also reach the beach from Promthep Cape itself — the route is longer but less steep.
This wild beach is secluded, small, and rocky. It will especially appeal to snorkeling enthusiasts and is, of course, a perfect spot for a photoshoot. You’ll hardly ever find people here — that’s what makes it a true hidden gem.
Naiyang
The quiet and picturesque Nai Yang Beach is perfect for those seeking peace and solitude. It’s located on the island’s northwest coast, not far from Phuket Airport, stretching for 2 km along the shore and surrounded by lush greenery and tropical trees.
The beach is quite large and can be roughly divided into several areas. In the central part, you’ll find some tourist infrastructure — sun loungers, cafes, and massage parlors — yet it’s still much less crowded than other popular beaches on the island. To the left lies a nature reserve, and to the right there’s a nice stretch of sea with easy access and clear water.
Sai Kaew
Even at the height of the season, you might find yourself completely alone on Sai Kaew — meeting other visitors here is more of an exception than the rule. Yes, the infrastructure is minimal: no sunbeds, no umbrellas, no noisy entertainment. But that’s exactly what makes this beach special — people come here not for comfort, but for peace and the sounds of nature.
The shore slopes steeply into the sea, and because there’s no bay, waves are common, especially during the low season. Still, Sai Kaew enchants with its untouched beauty and tranquil atmosphere — it’s the perfect place to escape civilization and be alone with the sea.
Nui Beach
One of the most photogenic beaches in Phuket, Nui Beach is tucked between Nai Harn and Kata Noi in a cozy bay with crystal-clear water and soft white sand. Only those who know where to look for seclusion make their way here.
This place is made for stunning photos: swings, hammocks, a sea-view bathtub, rocks along the shoreline — every corner begs to be captured. The charming beach cafés add to its atmosphere.
Nui Beach is more than just a beach — it’s a whole oasis of comfort. Entry is paid, as is the transfer from the main road, but in return you get cleanliness, service, and privacy. Alternatively, you can arrive by sea on a rented boat and start your day at one of the island’s most stylish spots.
