Holiday Villas in Phuket Guide: 4 Beaches To Visit For Lovers of Peace and Quiet

Phuket is one of Thailand's most popular travel destinations. With that in mind, it sometimes can be difficult to get away from them all. This is especially true if you are staying in places like Patong Beach, where hotels, restaurants, and shopping places populate the areas within walking distance of the soft white sand and warm waters. True, the island is never boring so if you're in search of action, you are never far away. However, it might tire you out too and if you are looking for a quieter beach to unwind in, you will need to go out of there. So if you are staying in one of the Patong villas, you should look at renting out a boat to some of the following beaches:
Ton Sai Beach, Railay Peninsula:
While on the mainland, it is cut off by the high 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 used to be as more backpackers have taken note of the area, you'll be able to still avoid that by going there during the quieter months of May-October. Be aware, however, that the beach is not as suited to swimming as the others due to its rocky nature, particularly when it's low tide. ?
Koh Yao Noi:
While near your holiday villas in Phuket's more packed areas by boat, it has not yet been totally touched by mass development. The island is known thanks to 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 can kayak, hike, swim and snorkel when there. Note to would-be visitors: locals here are insistent in keeping their local culture intact so be respectful Ways to achieve this include things like dressing up more modestly, and not drinking outside establishments serving travellers.
Koh Lanta:
The island, while not untouched and undeveloped, is much quieter and less thoroughly developed than many of its neighbours, such as Phuket and Koh Phi Phi. The place has white sand beaches, cultural-based attractions, and nature-based points of interest like caves, forests, marine wildlife (take note, divers), and orchid farms. You'll best appreciate it if you are going directly to it from packed, highly-developed resort areas such as Patong or Koh Phi Phi.
Koh Lao Liang:
The place is basically an eco-resort. If you're searching for nature or merely a spot that a majority of travellers miss, this place is for you. There's clear waters where you could snorkel, kayak, and scuba dive. You've got white sand where you can sunbathe, relax and read a book all day on. Climbers should not 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 is a 30 metre rock-face where you could enjoy marine life from if you feel the desire to do some wildlife watching.
There are more beaches and islands you could take a day trip to via boat from one of the Patong villas you are staying in. Just make sure to conductresearch either on the internet, or by asking staff working at or fellow travellers staying in those hotels, resorts, or holiday villas in Phuket when you arrive. Enjoy your holiday
