Tips from locals
Take one of the many long tail boat along Rawai beach front and take a 30 minute ride to the furthest Coral Beach, so beyond the first beach with the hotel, as that one is very busy and touristy.
Just a short boat trip from the hotel snorkeling and sunbathing beautiful beaches (boats can be hired within walking distance from the hotel)
Coral Island (Koh Hae in Thai) is a small island that’s around 5 km off Phuket’s southeastern coast. The short commuting time – 15 minutes by speedboat – from Phuket, makes this island a very popular day trip destination. Coral Island features only 2 beaches named Long and Banana, both of them facing north and offering great diving and snorkelling opportunities. There is only one hotel – Coral Island Resort – and a few bars and restaurants on the island that, in a similar way as Racha Island, is buzzing with day-trippers until mid-afternoon before it regains its peacefulness at night. Coral Island certainly has all the assets of a tropical dream destination near Phuket.
