“Enjoy relaxing on a wide stretch of soft white sand and swim in the calm, crystal-clear sea that feels like a natural swimming pool.”
Loh Pared Beach perfectly captures the charm of Koh Yao Yai. The beach forms a wide bay, offering an open panoramic view and a refreshing sea breeze. Its highlight is the cleanliness of the shoreline and the beautiful turquoise water. During high tide, the beach looks especially smooth and inviting, making it ideal for swimming.
Located on the western side of the island, Loh Pared Beach becomes the best “evening living room” of Koh Yao Yai. Visitors gather here in the late afternoon to witness the stunning sunset. The sky transforms into shades of purple, orange, and pink, creating a romantic and relaxing atmosphere. It is a must-visit destination for couples and families.
Despite its popularity, the beach still retains the authentic island lifestyle. Along the shore, accommodations are designed to blend with the natural environment, and beachfront restaurants serve fresh seafood with breathtaking views. Whether taking a leisurely walk in the afternoon or relaxing under rows of coconut trees, visitors can truly experience a slow-life escape.
