Yacht Destination

Maithon Island

A serene, romantic island south-east of Phuket, Maithon is known for its clear water, soft sand and private, uncrowded atmosphere.

A romantic hideaway close to Phuket

Maithon Island (Koh Mai Thon) is often nicknamed the “honeymoon island”. With limited on-island development and carefully controlled visitor numbers, it feels peaceful and exclusive compared to many other spots near Phuket.

The surrounding water is exceptionally clear, with gentle gradients and sandy patches that make swimming and snorkeling easy for all ages.

What you can experience

Snorkeling in calm, shallow bays with coral and colourful fish
Dolphin watching – pods are frequently seen around the island (though never guaranteed)
Relaxed time at anchor, swimming straight from the yacht’s platform
Romantic sunset cruising on the way back towards Phuket

Maithon is ideal for couples, families and anyone who wants a quieter, more intimate island experience without travelling far.
