Coral Island

Perfect for a relaxing half-day or a carefree day at sea.

Koh Hae - better known as Coral Island - sits just twenty minutes off Phuket's south coast, which makes it the easiest way to trade the crowds for clear water without spending half the day underway.

Two long white beaches, a shallow house reef that starts a few metres from the sand, and calm water in almost any season. If you have only an afternoon, this is the island that makes it count.

Good to know

Coral Island by yacht: questions

How much does a private yacht to Coral Island cost?

Coral Island is the shortest trip from Phuket, so a half day is enough. A half day on the Luxury Cruiser starts at ฿34,000, on the Princess 54 at ฿79,000. A full day on the Princess 54 starts at ฿119,000 from May to October. Prices are per boat with crew, not per person - all rates are on the prices page.

Is Coral Island the same as Koh Hae?

Yes. Koh Hae is the Thai name, Coral Island is the name most visitors know it by.

How far is Coral Island from Phuket?

About twenty minutes off Phuket's south coast, just minutes from Chalong Marina. Very little of the day goes on travelling.

Is it good for kids and first-time snorkellers?

Yes. The shallow house reef starts a few metres from the sand and the water is calm in almost any season. Snorkelling gear, a kayak and paddle boards are on board.

Half day or full day?

A half day covers the island well: Banana Beach, the reef and a swim. A full day adds lunch on board and a slow afternoon. If you want more distance and clearer water, look at Maiton or Racha Yai.
