Home to several bars, restaurants and resorts the likes of Anantara Rasananda Koh Phangan Villas, this idyllic coastal stretch features smooth sand and calm waters; it’s ideal for sunbathing or a lazy dip in the ocean.
Secret Beach
While this beach may no longer be a “secret”, it still is a great place to visit due to its breathtaking beauty. Located on the west coast, it has a lovely cove bordered by palm trees and is well suited for some swimming as well as kayaking and snorkelling.
Bottle Beach
