Banana beach
"The hidden treasure of Phuket" - this is how they speak of the beach with the sweet name of Banana. Surrounded by palm trees, the beach is located in the northwestern corner of the island. The purest waters of blue-sky color quietly splash at its coastal edge.

Beach description
It is surprising that the infrastructure of such a spectacular recreation area has not yet been properly developed. But this corner of nature cannot be called deserted either. There is a small restaurant where the menu is dominated by delicious variations of seafood. In contrast with cheap eateries, it pleasantly impresses with a decent level of service. In addition, there are not many places in Phuket where you can dine in the shade of coconut trees with your feet are sinking in the white sand.
In the midday heat Banana Beach offers swimming or snorkeling. For a lazier vacation you can rent sun loungers and umbrellas. You can get to this paradise by car or scooter from Phuket Airport. The beach car parking is not impressive in scale, but it guarantees the safety of vehicles. You can reach the coast, going down from a gentle shady hill.
When is it better to go
The best time for a beach holiday in Phuket lasts from November to April or May. The weather during this period is sunny, calm, the sea is calm, there are almost no waves. The height of the beach season falls on December, when a number of major international holidays are added to water activities. Prices for airline tickets, accommodation, services, food and transportation are at their maximum.
