Pansea Beach: the most exclusive beach in Phuket

By Paula Parker

Pansea Beach is a small secluded beach, located at the northern end of Surin beach, on the north west coast of Phuket.

Pansea is one of the best beaches in Phuket, with clean white sand, crystal clear water and is the perfect beach destination if your searching for a romantic getaway.


Pansea Beach, Phuket

Coral reefs are just a stone’s throw from the beach and the magnificent rock formations on either ends of the beach add to the picture postcard effect.



Unfortunately the beachfront at Pansea is only accessible through the grounds of two exclusive luxury five star beach resorts that share this stunning beach.

The well known Amanpuri Resort and the Surin Phuket Hotel formally known as the Chedi Resort have divided the beach among themselves.

Which, makes it is nearly impossible for ordinary tourists like us to reach the beach without passing through the resorts.

Rich and famous international celebrities choose to stay at these upmarket hotels and resorts, where they are able to enjoy the privacy that this secluded beachfront at Pansea provides.

By Thai law all beaches in Thailand are public property.

So if you are not a guest at either the Surin Phuket Hotel or Amanpuri Resort, you could always try to get a longtail boat to drop you off at Pansea from the nearby Surin or Bang Tao Beach.
