The island's longest, emptiest beach

Mai Khao Beach, Phuket

Length: 11 kmSwim with care Nov–Aprstay nearby from $15/night

Mai Khao is Phuket's longest beach and part of Sirinat National Park — resorts sit far apart and between them it's just casuarinas and sand. The famous airplane-landing photo spot is here.

It's deliberately undeveloped: come to switch off. The open beach picks up waves earlier than sheltered bays, so swim carefully.
