Best Time of Year to Visit Coral Island
Coral Island is open to visitors all year long, but the best time to visit is during the high season between November and April.

Packing for a Trip to Coral Island
Coral Island is a warm weather getaway and experiences sunshine and comfortable temperatures during the dry season, which is known as the high season by locals. Whether you are planning to take a day trip from Phuket to the island or are planning to stay for a few days, pack light so that you do not overheat. It is recommended that visitors pack shorts, skirts, and thin shirts to wear while they are exploring the area. Swimsuits are a necessity for beach fun. Guests do not need to pack outdoor sports equipment to carry onto the island as there are recreation huts where equipment can be rented by the day. Coral Island is small and does not have many places to shop, so guests should arrive to the island prepared with what they need for the duration of their stay. While necessities can be purchased on the island, items are stocked in limited quantities and can be sold out when you arrive.
