For those seeking to flee cold harsh winters, the tropical sun rays of Phuket are particularly welcoming. A vacation in a Phuket luxury resort will recharge you and ensure that you are well rested and ready to face the New Year with vigour. Phuket is known as the largest island of the former Kingdom of Siam and is located off its West Coast. Known to be a popular destination on ancient trade routes, at present, Phuket is a renowned tourist destination in South East Asia.
The beaches of the island of Phuket require little introduction for its beauty is renowned across the world. Tourists travelling to Phuket will often opt to reside in Western Phuket, simply because it is the more well known area. However, this area, due to its popularity, remains intensely crowded and it is difficult to absorb the relaxing atmosphere Phuket is capable of creating. Therefore, increasingly, tourists opt to visit and reside in South-Eastern Phuket and Phang Nga Bay where resorts such as Point Yamu by COMO, Phuket, Thailandprovide tourists with luxurious accommodation amid magnificent views of the Andaman Sea, without the never-ending throngs of people.
While South-Eastern Phuket and Phang Nga Bay are ideal for travellers who wish to avoid the throngs and crowds that frequent the island, Phuket is also home to a few ‘secret’ beaches that are less popular and thus, are unspoiled. One such beautiful stretch is Ao Yon Beach which embodies the essence of the ideal tropical beach complete with calm aquamarine waters, and pristine sandy beaches dotted by palm trees that sway gently in the ocean breeze. Another such beach is located further away from Naithon Beach and is called Banana Beach which derives its name from its crescent shape. Truly a ‘secret’ beach, this particular stretch is accessible only through a trek through a dense wooded area, but the serenity it enjoys makes the trek truly worth it.
For a tranquil walk by the shore, or a quiet swim, other relatively less known stretches include the Nui Beach, Hua Beach, Yae Beach and Ao Sane Beach.
