Surin Beach

Surin Beach oozes luxury and is overlooked by some of the most expensive real estate on Phuket Island. Popular with celebrities, this beautiful beach has clean white sand, turquoise waters and a nice mix of activities. It remains quieter than Patong Beach with an air of upscale exclusivity. 

Swimming on Surin Beach is best between November and April. At other times the rough waves develop a dangerous undertow, when red warning flags are flying.

It has some surfing waves but other beaches such as Kamala and Kata Beach have better surf breaks. The winter high season is the best time for snorkelling at either end of the beach.

There are plenty of sunbeds and restaurants allow customers to use their toilets, sometimes for a fee. Surin Beach is a top spot to visit at sunset or treat yourself to some fine dining at one of the Michelin-star-worthy restaurants. Whether you are looking for Thai cuisine, seafood or a family-friendly establishment with hearty fare, Surin Beach has something for every taste. You can even sign up for cookery classes or book a beauty treatment at one of the resort spas.

As well as high-class shopping, Surin Beach has a dive shop, boutique and mini mart. On weekday afternoons there’s a local market selling fresh fruit, handicrafts, beachwear and snacks.
