Named after the CEO's daughter, the YONA Beach Club is a multi-level floating beach club that offers a unique way to admire the natural wonders of the Andaman Sea. The fact that it is a floating beach club means you can access the best of the beach and the lounges with a secluded and exclusive vibe from the middle of the sea. In fact, YONA Beach is known as the very first floating beach club in the world, making it a must-visit while you're in Phuket.
Don't worry, the floating beach club is permanently anchored and won't just float away! You get to immerse yourself in breathtaking views of the Andaman Sea, taste the wonders of Thailand's local cuisine, and chill out by the ocean in style.
Important Things to Prepare When You Plan Your Visit

While YONA Beach is a beautiful place to relax and lounge, overnight stays are not usual. The attraction is best enjoyed as a place to unwind in and savor for day trips or even for private events!
Exploring YONA Beach with friends and family is sure to be a whole lot of fun. However, take note! For safety reasons, only guests who are 14 years old and above are permitted on the premises.
Your snazzy outfits are probably already planned out for your fit checks during your Phuket vacation! If YONA is part of your itinerary, remember to pack up some smart casual attire, which is the beach club's dress code.

The Views

Though the floating pontoon (a floating flat-bottomed boat) is mesmerizing in itself, the exteriors and lounge areas are not the only highlight of your visit here. An attraction that's sure to grab your eye is the breathtaking 360-degree view of the ocean.
Any spot in the floating beach club guarantees a beautiful vista of the ocean, but stop by the second-floor sunset terrace to admire an extra special view of the setting sun's warm hues.
Lounging Options

The main feature of YONA is the variety of options offered for lounging while basking in the naturally captivating views of Thailand. The second and first floors are home to an array of cabanas, pool beds, and sea beds sprawled around a calming infinity pool.
There is a perfect lounge option for everyone, depending mainly on your vacation plans and party size. Book your cabana if you're enjoying YONA in a party of 4-8, while the pool beds and sea beds are ideal for those in parties of 3 or less.

Swimming

While YONA strictly prohibits swimming in the surrounding ocean, it has made up for it with its pools. The 22-meter infinity pool in the heart of the lounge areas is vast and breathtaking.
If you'd like to take a break from the infinity pool but still want to be in the water, the lounge pool area on the Sunset Terrace is also a refreshing change of vibe.
