Banana Beach: North Phuket’s Hidden Gem for Offbeat Escapes
Tucked between Layan and Nai Thon beaches, Banana Beach is a secluded 180-meter stretch that remains one of North Phuket’s most underrated coastal treasures. With its powdery white sand, clear turquoise waters, and a dramatic backdrop of overhanging trees and rugged cliffs, this beach offers a setting that feels far removed from the usual tourist hotspots.
Often quiet—especially on weekday mornings—Banana Beach is perfect for those seeking peace and solitude. The calm, shallow waters are ideal for a refreshing swim or relaxed snorkelling session, offering glimpses of marine life just beneath the surface.
Its natural surroundings create an atmosphere of untouched beauty, making it easy to forget you're still within reach of the island’s more developed areas. Whether you arrive by longtail boat or follow the jungle trail down from the main road, the journey adds to the sense of adventure and exclusivity.
If your version of paradise means escaping crowds, reconnecting with nature, and unwinding to the sound of gentle waves, Banana Beach delivers all that and more. It’s a must-visit for travelers looking to explore a more offbeat and peaceful side of Phuket—where every visit feels like a personal discovery.
