Nestled in the northern corner of Koh Phangan is Bottle beach, a crowning jewel of the island. The beach is a perfect opportunity for travellers to relax and unwind. Here is a simple guide on reaching this untrodden beach and what awaits once you get there.
Bottle beach
Tucked away in the northern part of Koh Phangan, bottle beach is one of the best-kept secrets of the island. One of the most appealing things about the beach is hands down the seclusion it provides, away from the hubbub of the city. Here you can simply recline under the shades of a palm tree and drift off into a world of tranquillity and bliss.
Motorbike ride
As adventurous as it can get, reaching bottle beach on a motorbike is not for everyone. Not only is the road bumpy and unpaved but it can also easily get muddy and slippery during the frequent rainfalls. However, if you are experienced in riding your bike on off-beaten paths, you are welcome to give it a shot.
Hike
If you love a good hike, Bottle beach is a great choice. Interestingly, there are two main hiking paths starting from the paved road near Haad Khom that will lead you straight to this spectacular beach. Yet, keep in mind that a fair degree of fitness will be required to finish the journey, particularly when it is blazing hot. Staying at Koh Phangan villas within proximity to the beach like the lavish Anantara Rasananda Koh Phangan Villas is one way to make your hike less cumbersome.
Things to see
With palm trees, lavish greenery and green hills enveloping you, bottle beach is the perfect retreat to relax, unwind and treat yourself to a well-deserved break. Since the place does not get crowded, there is ample room to laze away in your own dream paradise.
