Yanui Beach is located in the very south of Phuket (Yanui beach on the map) in a cozy bay. It is small (no more than 200 meters long), isolated and very beautiful. There are never crowds of vacationers here, because you can only get here by your own transport. But another reason makes this place not very popular – not the best conditions for swimming.

The beach is sandy, bordered by picturesque cliffs. From here you can enjoy a wonderful view of a small island, which seems to be just around the corner. Also along the sandy strip there are rocky areas that go under the water. The tides here do not appear outwardly in any way, and the beach remains just as beautiful, but it is better to swim during the tides, because at low tide there are more chances to stumble upon sharp stones under water. By the way, there are quite a lot of them here, and it's really dangerous to swim until you figure out where they are and where they are clean. The waves are not too big, but there is no way to relax in the water with children here.

There is no tourist area as such and no infrastructure here. If you decide to stay here, then be ready to either fork out for food at a local restaurant, or rent a transport and travel to other areas.

Yanui Beach has a lot of sun loungers and umbrellas for rent (for 100 baht, see currency of Thailand), restaurant. The only entertainment is kayak rental and snorkeling. You can kayak to a beautiful island in the water area, but you should not land on it: there is nothing to do on it, there are no sandy beaches there, the shores are rocky.

Getting to Yanui beach is only possible by taxi or rented transport. You can drive up and leave the transport almost at the beach.

There are no Hotels in Yanui directly on the beach. However, a couple of hotels and bungalows are located nearby across the street, where you can rent a room from 1000 baht.

To summarize about Yanui. This is a quiet isolated beach with nothing but a restaurant and a couple of hotels nearby. It's worth staying here if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle and a beach holiday is the most important thing for you.
