Rayee Beach, Phuket
Rayee Beach is a peaceful escape located just south of Kamala Beach on Phuket’s west coast. Often dubbed “Secret Beach,” this stretch of coastline is home to luxury resorts like the Hyatt Regency and Cape Sienna, yet remains relatively uncrowded. While not ideal for swimming due to its rocky shoreline, Rayee Beach is perfect for a quiet stroll, a sunset cocktail, or snorkeling during high tide. It’s a hidden corner of calm in buzzing Phuket.
Rayee Beach: A quite paradise between Surin and Bang Tao in Phuket
Tucked between Kamala Beach and Hua Beach on Phuket’s west coast lies Rayee Beach, sometimes also referred to as Secret Beach. Though the name suggests hidden treasure, Rayee is no secret to the guests of nearby resorts like the luxurious Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort and Cape Sienna Phuket Gourmet Hotel & Villas. Still, this tranquil stretch of coast remains relatively quiet, offering a peaceful contrast to Phuket’s busier beach scenes.
What makes Rayee Beach so special?
What makes Rayee Beach stand out isn’t necessarily its sand or swimming appeal—because let’s be honest, the sand is a bit coarse and the shoreline dotted with boulders makes a relaxing dip in the sea more of a challenge. But for those willing to navigate the rocks (especially at high tide), there’s a small reef just offshore that offers decent snorkeling opportunities with some tropical fish to spot. Low tide, however, reveals large, uneven rock surfaces, making swimming less enjoyable.
What Rayee Beach truly excels at is its ambiance. The beach is fringed with tall casuarina and coconut trees, and its peaceful vibe makes it a great place for a quiet stroll or a moment of calm with the sound of the waves in the background. It’s also a perfect place for sunset lovers, especially when paired with a cocktail at the stylish Vanilla Sky Bar & Gastro Pub at Cape Sienna, or a drink with sea views at the Hyatt Regency’s bar.
Rayee Beach isn’t the postcard-perfect beach you might expect, but it does have its charm. It’s an ideal stop if you’re staying nearby or simply want to enjoy a quiet drink with a view after exploring Kamala. And who knows, you might even fall in love with the rugged, serene beauty of this lesser-known spot.
