Latest reviews on Ko Yao island's beaches

Coco Beach
10 Kiran Patel

This beach is the perfect spot for relaxation. The waves in the sea are quite fast, which adds to the fun of being here. You'll find numerous spots on the beach that are perfect for taking selfies. All of this is included in your visit to James Bond island. Typically, this beach is the final stop on the trip before returning to Phuket city. Additionally, there are some water activities available here that are included in the package.

Loh Parade Beach
10 Landon Carter

This beach destination was absolutely luxurious, with an ambiance that felt timeless and reminiscent of a bygone era where everything was crafted by hand. The staff provided impeccable service, going above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction. Special thanks to Fred, who helped us secure a table for dinner! While it may not be the most budget-friendly option, the level of care and attention to detail made it well worth the price. We highly recommend any of the ocean view rooms, as they offer stunning vistas of the surrounding scenery. Kayaking is also complimentary, and the room service is top-notch. The only downside we encountered was the difficulty in obtaining alcoholic drinks due to the predominantly Muslim culture of the island. Overall, we would highly recommend this destination for a 1-2 day stay, just make sure to plan accordingly for your libations!

Loh Jak Beach
4 Kareem Aziz

There is an abundance of plastic and trash scattered all around the beach.

Glow Elixir resort Beach
8 Daniel Rivers

We visited during the off season and found the rooms and location to be excellent. However, the front desk staff appeared slightly annoyed when assisting us, and the restaurant didn't meet our expectations. For a better dining experience, we recommend renting a motorcycle/moped and riding towards the town for about 15 minutes.

Ao Sai Beach
6 Jaslyn Chen

We traveled to a serene and petite beach in a sidecar, and despite the bumpy ride, it was manageable. The water was crystal clear, but unfortunately, we had to navigate through a lot of litter to reach the beach, which detracted from the potential privacy of the location.

Ao Muong Beach
10 Orelan (Mike)

When we arrived at the beach, there wasn't a single soul in sight. We had the entire beach to ourselves, allowing us to fully relish in its beauty. Strolling along the shoreline without any other individuals was truly remarkable. In general, the beach appeared to be well-maintained during our visit.

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.

The hottest month of the island is April - air temperature during this time warms up to 30.2°C and water up to 31.2°C. The coldest month is November - air temperature drops to 28.5°C and water to 29.6°C. Air and water temperature allows you to relax comfortably in the island all year round, which is enjoyed by tourists and locals.
