Coral Island – a magical Thai island close to Cape Panwa


Many of our guests choose to take a day trip to nearby Coral Island aboard our  speedboat the Panwa Princess III and the outing ranks as one of the best activities to do whilst staying with us.

Coral Island is a small verdant isle to the south of Phuket with two gorgeous beaches and a host of water sport activities. When you are sitting in the office dreaming of a tropical island, this is what you are thinking of!

And it’s not named Coral Island for nothing: You can swim in the crystal-clear waters, scuba dive or snorkel to discover a wonderful underwater world, have lunch, windsurf, parasail – or simply relax on the beach.

Some people opt for trekking through the jungle from Coral Island Beach to Banana Beach and back. If you choose to do this you should make sure to bring good shoes as the walk is a little challenging (but fun!).
