Koh Bon is especially popular among divers. This Phuket island features beautiful and ideal reef structures surrounding it. Koh Bon is the perfect spot to swim with and discover manta rays. Manta rays can be seen anywhere between early April and late May, but generally speaking, they linger near the island throughout early summer.

There’s also a small cove located on the island that presents an excellent opportunity for night diving. On the western side of Koh Bon you’ll find Koh Bon Pinnacle, though beginner divers are discouraged from attempting to explore this area because it lies exposed in deep water.

On the south side of the island there’s a large coral wall and, like much of the coral reef structures surrounding Koh Bon, it was left undamaged by the tsunami that destroyed many areas around Phuket.

Several species of shark and moray eels can be viewed near this Phuket island. All of the facilities and the one accommodation located on the island are owned and operated by the the Evason Phuket Resort and Spa.

The facilities on the island are only for the resort’s guests, so if you’re planning to visit Koh Bon, you’ll want to make the Evason your resort of choice, although there is only one room type of theirs on the island, which is the Honeymoon Suite. If you’re planning to dive near the island, lean towards relying on your boat for relaxation or on parts of the island that are not restricted for those who are not guests of the Evason Resort.
