Holiday Villas in Phuket Guide: 4 Beaches To See For Lovers of Peace and Quiet
Phuket is among Thailand’s busiest travel destinations. With that in mind, it sometimes can be difficult to get away from them all. This is especially true if you’re staying in places like Patong Beach, where hotels, restaurants, and shopping places fill the areas within easy reach of the soft white sand and warm waters. True, the place never gets boring and if you are looking for action, you’re never far away. Nonetheless, it may exhaust you too and if you are hunting for a quieter beach to unwind in, you will have to go out of there. So if you happen to be staying in one of the Patong villas, you should look into renting out a boat to some of the following beaches:
Ton Sai Beach, Railay Peninsula:
While on the mainland, it is isolated by large limestone cliffs making boats the only way to reach it. It’s a magnet for rock climbers. Although the beach is not as isolated and off-the-beaten path as it was as more backpackers have discovered the area, you may still avoid that by arriving during the quieter months of May-October. Take note, however, that the beach is not as ideal for swimming as the others because of its rocky nature, particularly when it’s low tide.
Koh Yao Noi:
Although near your holiday villas in Phuket’s more packed areas by boat, it hasn’t been fully affected by mass development. The island is known as a result of the fact it won the World Legacy Award for Destination Stewardship in 2002 from Conservation International and National Geographic Traveler magazine due to its eco-friendly homestay program. You could kayak, hike, swim and snorkel when there. Note to would-be visitors: locals here insist in keeping their local culture intact so be considerate! Ways to do this include things like dressing up more decently, and not drinking outside establishments catering to travellers.
Koh Lanta:
The island, although not undiscovered and pristine, is much quieter and less thoroughly developed than a lot of its neighbours, such as Phuket and Koh Phi Phi. The area has white sand beaches, cultural-based attractions, and nature-based attractions like caves, forests, marine wildlife (take note, divers!), and orchid farms. You will best appreciate it if you are going directly to it from packed, highly-developed resort areas like Patong or Koh Phi Phi.
Koh Lao Liang:
The place is basically an eco-resort. If you are seeking nature or just a spot that a majority of travellers don’t visit, this place is for you. There’s clear waters where you can snorkel, kayak, and scuba dive. You have white sand where you can sunbathe, relax and read a book all day on. Climbers shouldn’t feel out of place here: you’ve got lots of limestone cliffs and rock formations where you could rock climb or boulder on. Plus, there’s a 30 metre rock-face where you could watch marine life from if you feel the need to do some wildlife watching.
There are other beaches and islands you could take a day trip to via boat from one of the Patong villas you’re staying in. Just make sure to conductresearch either online, or by quizzing staff working at or fellow travellers staying in those hotels, resorts, or holiday villas in Phuket when you get there. Enjoy your holiday!
