🏝️ Private Beaches for Free – Koh Yao Yai, Thailand

📍 30 minutes from Phuket, but a world away from the crowd ✨ We found ourselves walking on a beach with no one around. Just the sound of waves, birds, and our own footsteps… It felt like time stopped. If you’re dreaming of a honeymoon that’s quiet, soulful and truly private, Koh Yao Yai is the one. Forget the parties of Phuket or the crowds of Phi Phi — this island is all about reconnection with nature… and with each other. 🌿 ✅ Why it’s perfect for couples: – Empty beaches, even at sunset – Small roads to explore on a scooter, hand in hand – Local life is calm, welcoming and deeply respectful 🌅 Our days ended with golden skies and hammocks under the trees. 🍛 We had paneang curry chicken with the original satay from one of the most reknown places of the island : the “Seaside restaurant & bar”, with of course, a pad thai. All of that by the beach during nighttime. simple, fresh, perfect. 🕌 Muslim-friendly? 100%. Local community is mostly Muslim, halal food is everywhere, moosques all around the island. Even the beaches ask for women to dress modestly ! 💸 Our bungalow with a sea view cost less than 30€/night (breakfast included) at the “Thiwson Resort” which provided an amazing breakfast buffet with both local and western food. Note that we also rented our scooter there, they were brand new and very cheap. Peace has never been so affordable. 📸 Here’s a glimpse of what a truly private honeymoon can feel like 👇 Would you trade Phuket for this paradise? #tripmoment #hiddengem #honeymoon #privatebeach #kohyaoyai #muslimtravel #naturelovers #thailandoffthepath #adventuremoments
