Back-to-nature island hideaway with lovely wooden houses, rainforests, snorkelling and endless beaches
If you’re in Thailand looking for utter peace and seclusion in an unspoiled natural environment, this is the place to go. Golden Buddha Beach Resort is the perfect antidote to the high-density tourism and rampant development found on nearby islands like Phuket and Krabi. With sixteen kilometres of empty golden beaches and not a jet ski in sight, the island, although large, is totally undeveloped - when you arrive no buildings are visible. Take an early morning walk along the beach, or swim in a sea turned gold by the sunset, and the place is all yours. Go canoeing along a tidal river, diving in pristine water, or snorkelling in the bath-warm lagoon, and you'll have just hornbills, sea eagles and – if you’re lucky – sea turtles for company.
Practice yoga in an open-air pavilion under the coconut palms; blissful Thai massages are on offer (in the comfort of your own house) or on a shady platform next to the sea. Staying on the island is as close as you can come to having your own tropical hideaway in paradise, without having to cater for yourself.
