Beach Vacations Thailand

We love a beach break that goes beyond the usual—and Thailand absolutely delivers. With long stretches of soft sand, jewel-toned water, and swaying palm trees, it’s every bit the tropical paradise you’ve dreamed of. But what keeps us coming back is how much variety you’ll find, from the laid-back charm of island life to the buzz of beach towns filled with amazing food, friendly locals and unforgettable sunsets.

Whether you’re looking to truly switch off or fill your days with snorkelling, island-hopping and delicious seafood lunches, Thailand’s coast has something for everyone. Think white-sand beaches and luxury resorts in Koh Samui, dramatic cliffs and beach clubs in Phuket, and quieter shores like Koh Lanta and Koh Yao Noi where it feels like you’ve stumbled across your own private slice of paradise.

We love hopping between islands by longtail boat or spending slow afternoons with a book under a palm tree. Evenings are for freshly grilled seafood, beachside cocktails and watching the sky turn every shade of pink and gold.

Whether it’s your first time or your fifth, Thailand’s beaches always feel like a treat. You can go full barefoot luxury or keep it simple with a peaceful spot by the sea—it’s up to you.
