A hidden gem with an emerald secret
Koh Muk (also written Koh Mook) feels like a step back in time compared to busier islands. Fishing boats line the shore, local villages dot the coast, and long, sandy beaches are still pleasantly uncrowded.
The island’s star attraction, Emerald Cave (Tham Morakot), is accessed by swimming or kayaking through a narrow sea tunnel into a hidden, circular beach surrounded by cliffs – an unforgettable highlight on any private yacht charter.

What you can experience
- Kayaking or swimming into Emerald Cave when conditions and tides allow
- Snorkeling along rocky headlands and nearby reefs
- Quiet walks on long, peaceful beaches at sunset
- A taste of local island life in Muk’s village areas
Koh Muk is often combined with Koh Kradan, Koh Rok and Koh Lanta on extended southern routes from Phuket.
