Excursion from Phuket to Maiton Island

Maithon Island can be reached in less than 15 minutes by speedboat, as the island is only 9 km from Phuket.

Despite such a close location, the island was closed to tourists for a long time, as it was a private property. In 1993, by royal decree, the island was transferred to the ownership of a Korean entrepreneur. Until recently, only the local elite came here to relax. Including celebrities such as the Crown Prince of Bhutan, the Prime ministers of Singapore, Cambodia, and Vietnam, it also hosted meetings of Asian leaders. Now the helipad near the pier reminds of these meetings.

Only a few companies have access to this island, and they are allowed to drop off no more than 200 people a day, so even at the peak of the high season, you can feel the privacy and tranquility that is so lacking on the more famous islands. A large white beach, clear turquoise water, and in addition a beautiful freshwater pool right on the shore — and all this is just for you without the crowds of tourists and the dominance of boats along the coast.

Myton Island is perfect for a tropical photo shoot.

After lunch, you will visit the observation deck. If desired, you can swim with masks, for this you will be taken to the neighboring bay, where the calm clear water will allow you to see the underwater world of the Andaman Sea.
