Ao Lukyon
Travel Guide
Visitors tend to walk straight past Ao Lukyon without even knowing it's there. This rocky cove is on the northeastern tip of Ko Samet and has merely a sliver of sand at its centre accompanied by some terrific sea views.
It's one of those places where staff give guests a cautious eye upon arrival, suspecting that they are lost.
If your prime goal is to get away from the crowds, then Lukyon is a reasonable choice, but bear in mind you really will be out on a ledge here – we've never seen another guest here – ever.
So if you want to share the (admittedly very small) beach with not another soul then you're in the right spot, but wouldn't you feel better served at least picking a beach with some sand on it?
A couple of laid back restaurants serve food on Lukyon, and you're only a short walk from the hustle and bustle of Ko Samet's busiest beach, Haad Sai Kaew, if you do want more action come the evening.
