Hua Beach facing due north, is found just before the better-known Kamala Beach as you’re headed north on Phuket Island away from Patong Beach. It is a small beach at just 331 meters (362 yards) long, and most of that is rocky, and without sand, but it’s still a very scenic spot that might be worth stopping by for a quick swim or picnic.

A mix of deep sand and large boulders, Hua Beach is ideal for a couple who wants to get away from the crowds for a bit and spend some romantic quiet time alone. You’ll rarely find other tourists or locals in this spot, and the large rocks give some privacy. This beach strikes me as ideal for a bikini modeling shoot, or just a phone full of selfies!

You won’t find any of the jet skis, parasailing, or vendors walking the beach bothering you to buy something here. That’s the beauty of Hua Beach!

From the road along the beach, you’ll see a small spirit house with 1-meter-high rock wall around it. You may see a couple cars or motorbikes parked there too – this is where you can access Hua Beach, or you can continue down the hill and look for the two concrete pillars on the left side on the dirt road which will take you there.

Please note, there are no restrooms or showers, and usually there are no locals selling food or drinks here at Hua Beach. If you’d like to stay in accommodations close to this beach, Laem Son Village Hotel is at the west end of Hua Beach, and it gets decent reviews.

All in all, Hua Beach is Calm, quiet, and isolated a bit from the noise of Kamala and Patong beaches, Hua Beach is a tiny oasis of peace and quiet. Very few people stop here, but it’s a very nice beach with a great sunset if you are there around 6 pm.

Hua Beach Accommodations

  • Hyatt Regency Resort

    Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort – A few minutes drive North and East will bring you to one of the Hyatt Regency resorts on the beach at Rayee Beach. This is close enough that you also visit Hua Beach if you wish, but Rayee is quite a bit better for wading, swimming, and enjoying the beach with a picnic, sleeping, or whatever else you choose.

    The Hyatt Regency rooms are large and luxurious, but a bit dated. The restaurants are excellent, and the pool is something to see. Rates begin at around 5,000 THB per night in the off-season months.

  • Ayara Kamala Resort

    Ayara Kamala Resort – This is a nice mid-range resort with a beautiful view looking West for amazing sunsets. The hotel and restaurant are decorated beautifully and the rating from past customers are very good. It has a nice spa and full fitness center, and the community pool is big enough. Individual infinity pools for each villa.

    There is a rocky beach here that is not so good for swimming, but if you brought your own snorkel bear you’ll be able to enjoy yourself for a short while.

    Room rates during the off-season are around 5,000 THB per night.
