Why holiday on Surin Beach?

27 August 2025

Surin Beach is one of the most picturesque and atmospheric places in Phuket. Located between Kamala and Bang Tao on the west coast, this stretch of beach attracts those seeking tranquillity, beauty and a little privacy. Turquoise waters, white sand and stunning sunsets make Surin the perfect place to relax.

Why choose Surin

The main reason tourists love Surin is its cleanliness and visual harmony. In clear weather, the water here shines with a bright turquoise hue, and the shore is regularly cleaned of debris. Despite its popularity, the beach is not overcrowded. Noisy entertainment such as jet skis is not allowed here, so the atmosphere of tranquillity is preserved. It is this tranquillity, complemented by stunning sunsets and a mild climate, that is especially appreciated by newlyweds and couples.

Nearby infrastructure

Although the beach itself is secluded, all the necessary infrastructure is within walking distance or a few minutes’ drive away:

  • Supermarkets and shops: Tesco Lotus, 7-Eleven, Family Mart — all nearby
  • Pharmacies and banks: Boots, Watsons, Bangkok Bank, SCB provide basic services
  • Restaurants and eateries: from simple eateries to cafes with panoramic sea views

For those who cannot imagine a holiday without activity, the area offers sports facilities. Yoga Republic offers outdoor classes, while Unit-27 specialises in CrossFit. Those wishing to learn Thai boxing can enrol at Sinbi Muay Thai. Golf enthusiasts can visit Laguna Golf Phuket, a modern course just 4 km from Surin.

Entertainment and opportunities for families

Blue Tree Phuket Water Park, Happy Kids Kindergarten and Phuket International Academy are just a few minutes’ drive away. The area provides everything you need for a comfortable and safe family life.

Local markets, such as Bang Tao Market, offer fresh produce, Thai food, and souvenirs. In the evening, you can visit Catch Beach Club or choose a quieter place with live music.

What to consider when planning a holiday in Surin

  • During the rainy season (May–October), there are storms and high waves, so swimming is not always possible at this time.
  • There is little natural shade on the beach, so it is better to bring an umbrella or rent a canopy.
  • There are few accommodation options right by the sea; most accommodation is located 200–500 metres from the beach.
