You visit Thailand for undisturbed nature, friendly locals and the world-class beaches. The destination is synonymous with turquoise waters, including idyllic islands with rustling palms, brilliant sands and reefs. But with about 1,430 islands to choose from, where does one even start? Fret not, we’ve rounded up some of Thailand’s most dreamy beaches perfect for visiting any time of the year including off season so you avoid the crowd.

Coral Cove Beach, Koh Samui - a quiet attraction

Swim: Although more of an open secret than a spot reserved for those in the know, Samui’s Coral Cove beach still retains its appeal as a serene gem that’s quite different from the crowded beaches of Lamai. Don’t expect developed infrastructure but come instead for contemplation of nature, a spot for snorkelling and blissed-out solitude. 

Coral Cove Beach, Koh Samui 2023

Where to stay:  From a beverage truck serving boozy tropical concoctions by the pool to lazy soaks in a private villa pool, Avani+ Samui Resort distils the best of Samui while showcasing its playful side. As a bonus, guests get priority access to SEEN Beach Club Samui.

Railay Beach, Krabi - rock of ages

Railay is a rock-climbing and bouldering mecca, not a beach bum paradise, so be prepared to scale those limestone cliffs instead of admiring the soaring shapes from the lagoon down below. Although getting there is an adventure in itself, the long-tail boat ride doesn’t seem to deter the many adrenaline junkies who flock here.

Railay Beach, Krabi

Where to stay: Located in the north of Koh Lanta, the new Avani+ puts you in a prime position to explore the island, or just lap up the sunshine and drizzles of tranquil rain showers during off season. The plush décor will appeal to those with an eye for modern comforts and streamlined design, while serene forest and splendid tropical seas manage to instantly send stress-out urbanites into a state of bliss.

Nui Beach, Koh Lanta - lunch with a view

Unless it’s diving that brings you to Koh Lanta (in which case you should be dropping anchor near Hin Daeng and Hin Muang cliffs), you can’t go wrong with Nui. A small isolated beach located in a bay at the foot of a jungle-clad mountain, it’s a bit of a foodie destination thanks to a restaurant clinging to the slope of a hill. After having your fill of local specialties and scenic views, descend to the beach via a staircase for an afternoon dip.

Nui Beach, Koh Lanta

Where to stay:  Located in the north of Koh Lanta, the Avani+ Koh Lanta Krabi Resort puts you in a prime position to explore the island, or just lap up the sunshine right where you are. The plush décor will appeal to those with an eye for modern comforts and streamlined design, while serene forest and splendid tropical seas manage to instantly send stress-out urbanites into a state of bliss.

Laem Singh Beach, Phuket - just add the rum

Laem Singh has an almost Caribbean feel to it thanks to all the nodding palm trees with luxurious crowns casting generous shadows on a powdery sand carpet. Situated between the crowded Kamala and Surin beaches, one of Laem Singh’s attractions is its relative inaccessibility. Many tourists can’t be bothered catching a boat from Surin. Their loss!

Laem Singh Beach, Phuket

Where to stay: Right on the doorstep of Avani+ Mai Khao Phuket Suites & Villas lies the stunning Phang Nga Bay with its secluded beaches, limestone cliffs, fascinating cave systems and archaeological sites. The property offers curated Avani tours bringing together sightseeing tips from local trend-setters, creatives, culture-makers and travel influencers in one handy guide listing the best picnic locations, sunset points and Insta-spots.

Kho Kho Khao, Khao Lak - beachcombers welcome

You can reach the island of Khao Lak by boat in about 30 minutes. To the east, you will find extensive mangrove forests; elsewhere, casuarinas and coconut trees line the wide, secluded sandy beaches. Beach walkers, nature lovers and beachcombers all feel equally at home on the laid-back Koh Kho Khao.

Kho Kho Khao, Khao Lak

Where to stay: Rainforest, waterfalls, wildlife and a perfect stretch of untouched coastline right on the doorstep — Avani+ Khao Lak Resort has a lot going for it. Uninterrupted views of the Andaman Sea bring peace of mind with plenty of activities nearby to keep water sports enthusiasts happy.
