The island of Koh Phangan is well-known for its beaches. You could either be relaxing on the beach at a Koh Phangan resort… most guests at hotels like Anantara Rasananda Koh Phangan Villas often enjoy this among other beach activities. Apart from this, there is so much more to explore, from Koh Phangan’s beach parties to tranquil scenes of sunsets. Here are a few beaches that would be the perfect solution for your mood, from relaxation to celebration.

Haad Yao 

This beach is also called “Long Beach” and is stretched out across 1 km. There’s plenty of space for sunbathing, swimming and other beach activities. The area is dotted with cosy cafés and beachfront bars, making it ideal for those seeking relaxation without isolation.

Haad Salad

With calm and shallow waters, Haad Salad offers a beautiful bay with soft, sandy shores. This beach is ideal for a peaceful retreat with family and friends. Visitors will find charming little eateries along the beach and even a few resorts. Since there are fewer crowds at Haad Salad, one could certainly find a piece of tranquillity here.

Mae Haad Beach & Koh Ma

Surrounded by clear waters and colourful coral reefs, Mea Haad Beach comes with a bonus… Koh Ma! The highlight of this beach is the bar of sand that connects it to a little island called Koh Ma. It is perfect for some snorkelling, not to mention some fantastic clicks too.
