Best Coves In Phuket Near Me

4worldlovers: Many say places like The Cove aren’t supposed to still exist in Phuket

The 3 cottages, resort’s prime beach location, refreshing creative island design which combines art and nature, uncompromising level of comfort and service, outdoor bar and beach dining. Escape somewhere special!


Ao Yon Beach, as surprising as it may seem, is a quiet and remote beach of Phuket.


If someone would have designed it, no doubt they would be accused of using too many clichés: fine white sand, overhanging coconut palms, waves twinkling in the sunlight and a bright blue sea. Because of its location (protected by The Cape Panwa East and Chalong Bay West), there are almost no waves all year round and very few people on the beach. Most days you will have the whole beach to yourself!


Remote doesn’t mean isolated – easy access to the best the Island has to offer

We support initiatives that raise awareness of sustainable tourism practices and the importance of protecting the environment.

Phuket is an all year round holiday destination but there is a “dry season” where consistently fine weather draws by far the largest number of tourists. However, good weather is possible at any time of year and Phuket during the less busy months can still provide a wonderful tropical vacation.

4worldlovers: Phuket is known for its outstanding beaches, probably more than anything else. With over 30 of them around the island, there’s a wide variety of atmospheres, scenery, facilities and even textures of sand available. But with such a huge amount of choice, the question of which is the best beach in Phuket is inevitable.

This is not a simple question to answer, and it largely depends on how you judge a ‘good beach’. We chose to combine a number of measurements, from the availability of nearby places to eat and drink to the fineness of the sand and the idyllic-ness of the surroundings. We also gave priority to those beaches with a lifeguard station, so pretty much all of those listed below have at least 1. If you’ve visited before, you might be surprised by some of the places we’ve included, and even more so by some of the places which didn’t make it into this compilation of top best beaches in Phuket. Do you agree with our list?

Kata Beach has it all – beautiful soft sand, nodding palm trees, clean waters with a soft seabed, good surfing in the low season and snorkeling in the high season, and a fantastic laid-back atmosphere. Colorful long-tail boats are moored at the northern end, with a few budget food and drinks vendors often found nearby, while the southern end has a choice of beachfront hotels and restaurants and an exciting flow rider park at Surf House. At about 1.5 km in length, Kata Beach doesn’t usually get too crowded, either.

A 300-meter-long strip of some of the finest white sand in Phuket, Freedom Beach has all the isolation of a pristine desert island but also with a restaurant and beach chairs available. It has none of the usual jet skis, parasailing and wandering vendors to pester you while you’re chilling out (as are common on some of the busier beaches), making it the best balance of peaceful and quiet without sacrificing convenience. It’s a little tricky to get to, being accessible only by long-tail boat or a steep footpath down a hill, so it has an air of exclusivity.

Kata Noi is the neighbor to Kata Beach (the name literally means 'little Kata Beach'), Kata Noi is just under 700 meters long but is an amazingly beautiful spot. The sand here is among the finest, the sea among the nicest and the surrounding restaurants among the best in Phuket. There are only a couple of hotels along its length, but they too are rated among the best available. A much quieter place than its big brother to the north, it has a more peaceful and relaxed atmosphere while still offering the same great surfing and snorkeling opportunities.

Ya Nui is one of Phuket’s smallest beaches and yet is amazingly popular for its size. It has a total length of less than 200 meters in an L-shaped curve. The shore has beautiful sand and sea and offers striking scenery, set just beneath Windmill Viewpoint. The beach’s rocky outcrop is somewhat iconic, is easy to climb on for striking vacation snaps and helps create great conditions for snorkelers. In spite of its small size, there's a good selection of nearby restaurants, vendors and accommodations options.

Admittedly, Surin Beach is not what it used to be. Once the home of several of Phuket’s top beach clubs and a bustling local market, it had an air of sophisticated fun. Even with that now gone, the beach retains its raw natural beauty, with tree-lined soft white sand and clear tropical seas. The 800-meter-long beach remains a very popular choice and the home of a good selection of Phuket’s most exclusive hotels, shops and restaurants.

The name says it all – Paradise! Less than 200 meters in length and with a little rocky headland making it technically 2 beaches, this tiny cove near Patong has calm waters with a soft seabed pretty much throughout the year. The lovely white sand is shaded by nodding palm trees which look like they came straight off the cover of a vacation brochure. Being the home of Paradise Beach Club, the little cove has a great choice of facilities, including restaurants, bars, sea kayaks, beach chairs and more. It's also the home of Phuket’s only Koh Phangan-style beach parties.
