The Hidden Rock Ponds, Phuket

For nature lovers and adventure seekers, the Hidden Rock Ponds—also known as Chom Dao Viewpoint—offer a unique experience on Phuket’s west coast. Located between Hua Beach and Yae Beach, near the Ayara Kamala Resort, these natural rock pools are revealed during low tide when seawater remains trapped in erosion-carved basins. Reaching the spot involves a 300-meter walk followed by a steep descent with rope support—so wear proper footwear and come prepared. The reward? Stunning views and serene natural pools.
