Maiton Island

A secluded tropical island famous for crystal-clear water and occasional dolphin sightings.

Maiton is the island people mean when they say "secluded": privately owned, no day-tripper crowds on the sand, and water so clear the anchor chain looks painted on the seabed.

The channel between Phuket and Maiton is home to a resident pod of dolphins, and on a good morning they come to play in the bow wave - the kind of moment no itinerary can promise, and no one ever forgets.
