Ao Sane Beach ⛱️ What to do in Ao Sane?

What to do in Ao Sane?

Ao Sane Beach (pronounced Ao Sain) proves that Phuket still has some little beaches hidden from view where you can pretend nothing has changed in the past twenty years. Of course, there is no such thing as a ‘secret beach‘ anymore, but you must make a little effort to get there. Ao Sane is clearly visible from Nai Harn Beach, but you will not find out unless you know that you need to drive through The Nai Harn Resort.

The second beach of Ao Sane

Ao Sane consists of three tiny sandy bays, and you can walk from one to another through the few beach bungalows. These might be small tiny sandy coves, but it is a good feeling to step on one.

What to Do in Ao Sane?

You can rent a couple of beach chairs on Ao Sane Beach for 200 baht a day and even snorkelling gear at the tiny ‘Armin’s Dive Shop’. You can also take your first dive lesson right there for 950 baht! Just remember that parking space at Ao Sane Beach is limited.

Ao Sane Beach

Ao Sane is a great snorkelling beach also used for beach diving. It is one of the few beaches calm enough to snorkel during the rainy season.

Where to Eat in Ao Sane?

Ao Sane Restaurant

The first beach is the largest. It has everything you need for the day, including a nice beach restaurant where people spend a lot of time in the tree shade. The food is good and the prices are acceptable.

Hotel Summary
The BeachThe beach is superb, one of the most beautiful public beaches in Phuket, relatively untouched by constructions. It can be busy during the high season, but it’s all yours in the evening when everyone is gone. The beach is also great for snorkelling!
The HotelA 5-star resort, 130 sea-facing rooms with a nice balcony.
The Facilities3 superb restaurants, including an immense rooftop with jaw-dropping views and a beach side restaurant. Excellent spa and small fitness room.
What's Around?Good surrounding: Lots of local restaurants, small shops selling tropical fruits, local massage shops and a Thai temple. Ao Sane is another hidden beach located just behind the hotel.
Who is it for?Great for travellers wanting a balance of great beach but no hectic town nearby. Good for couples as the place has a uniquely romantic setting.
Worth Noticing The pool is quite small, and there are no private pools in the rooms or pool access rooms. The hotel is located on the rocky end of the beach but has direct access to the superb beach.
PriceA bit pricey

Cheaper accommodation

On the beach itself, we found three places. Baan Krating is the largest, and you can book it online. Jungle resort seems to be quite good. Interesting is the super cheap bungalows on the beach itself called ‘Ao Sane Bungalow อ่าวเสนบังกะโล’. They look extremely basic but seem to be popular. The prices are between 600 baht and 1300 baht.

ao sane bungalows

Small bungalows made of bamboo and thatched roofs along the beach are rather basic but not cheap, around 800 baht per night for a fan room, but what a setting! Just looking at the few lucky people idly sitting on their wooden balconies makes you feel the pace of tropical life. The Baan Krating beachfront bungalows are more luxurious, but it starts at around 4,000 baht a night. The Baan Krating Resort mostly uses the second and third beaches, but you can go there and have a drink or even a beach massage.
