General information about Leela Beach

Leela Beach, also called Seektantang Beach, is located at the southernmost tip of Koh Phangan, and therefore you can even see the opposite island Koh Samui from the beach. The island’s capital, Thong Sala, where the ferry also docks, is about 12 kilometers away and connected to the resort by collective bus or cab. In addition, from Leela Beach you can walk to the small town of Haad Rin, where the monthly Full Moon Party takes place on the beach, in about 10 minutes. Outside this time, however, this tourist town is hushed, and you will find some nice boutiques to go shopping, supermarkets as well as cool bars and good restaurants. Perfect if you want to eat out and go out a bit in the evening.

The lovely bars and restaurants of the beach hotels serve food and drinks for every taste. Here you can also rent sunbeds and umbrellas if necessary. In the high season, in winter from October to March, there is also a kayak rental. Perfect if you want to experience the breathtaking coastline around Leela Beach directly from the sea. The best time to visit Leela Beach is during the winter months, from October to March. During this time, the sea is crystal clear, smooth and shines in the most stunning blue colors.

What to expect on Leela Beach

The special thing about Leela Beach is definitely its unique ambience. Many even view this approximately 900-meter-long bay as one of the most beautiful dream beaches in all of Thailand. Especially the large coconut trees directly on the beach, the snow-white sand and the almost unreal turquoise blue sea colors make this bay unique on Koh Phangan. In addition, most beach visitors are hotel guests, but they are relatively well distributed along the elongated bay. Thus, the beach is never overcrowded, and you always enjoy a certain secluded atmosphere. Of course, the beach can also be visited by day tourists, but the entrance to Leela Beach is not easy to find for visitors.

Leela Beach is the most beautiful in the north section. Here the beach is especially clean, slopes very flatly and the ambience is unimaginably beautiful. Really idyllic are the sea swings and hammocks that dangle between the palm trees all along the beach. A highlight is also the blue water jetty, over which you can walk far into the sea. The southern part of the beach has its charm too. Discover a small wooden bridge that leads over the rocks; from this bridge you can admire beautiful sunsets in the evening.
