Secret Beach

Secret Beach, also known as Haad Son Beach, is one of the most picturesque beaches in Koh Phangan.

Located in a small bay on the island’s west coast, it only has a few establishments and is loved for offering a peaceful retreat away from the busyness of the more popular areas.

Visitors love it because it’s simply blissful, and everything you need for a stay in paradise. There are charming bungalows to sleep in, and a sprinkling of resort accommodation. But the star here is the beach itself; exceptional in quality thanks to beautiful white sand and clear, warm aquamarine waters.

The beach, which is just a hundred meters long, doesn’t get too busy even during the height of the peak season. This is why many travellers keep coming back to Secret Beach time and again, often mixing it up with short stays at other parts of Koh Phangan. Whether you want to partake in water activities or just lounge up under the sun, you can do all that here and more.

The resorts that dot the beachfront are equipped with cosy hammocks and sun loungers that guests can use. It would be best for you to bring a towel, but everything else you need can already be found on Haad Son.

The beachfront restaurants offer a wide range of refreshing drinks and delicious food; there’s no need to worry about taking a packed lunch. Dining here is magical, especially at night when the restaurants add mats, Thai pillows, and chairs right on the beach. Candles illuminate your table, and it makes for a truly romantic atmosphere.

The Secret Beach is located on Haad Yao’s south-west area. The most convenient way to get here is by taking a taxi from Thong Sala. Once you reach the beach, motorbikes can be rented so that you can explore the area.
