Yona Beach Club Phuket

If you thought you’d seen it all in Thailand, you probably haven’t boarded the – YONA Beach Club. In 2026, this club is no longer just a “fading trend” but a game-changing tourist attraction in Phuket. It is the world’s first and most luxurious floating beach club, offering a 360-degree experience in the heart of the sea.

In this guide, we have compiled all the official updates for 2026, including critical location changes, updated prices, and special highlights for traveler.

🛑 Critical Update 2026: Where is the club located? (Seasonal location change)

Unlike previous years, the YONA now operates in two different locations depending on the seasons to ensure calm seas and maximum safety:

1. High Season (November to April): The club is anchored in Patong Bay. Boarding the connecting boat is from Patong Boat Pier. This is the most sought after location due to its proximity to the action.
2. Low Season/Wet Season (May to October): The club moves to the east side of the island and anchors at Royal Phuket Marina.

Pro tip: Make sure on the booking form where your shuttle boat departs from. A mistake in the marina location will cause you to miss out on your day of fun!

What awaits you on board? (Multi-level overview)

The YONA spans 1,200 square meters of European luxury with a Thai twist:

• Main Deck: 22-meter infinity pool, sun beds (Pool Beds) and central DJ booth.
• Second Deck (Sunset Terrace): A more relaxed area with panoramic views, perfect for Phuket’s Instagrammable sunsets.
• Rooftop Deck: Private Cabanas complex for groups who want maximum privacy.

💰 Updated admission prices and packages for 2026

YONA’s pricing works according to the Minimum Spend method. The price you pay for the venue becomes a credit that can be used on food and alcohol.

Prices may vary during holidays (New Year’s Eve/Songkran).

🛂 Procedures, restrictions and important information (updated for 2026)

YONA is a prestigious place with clear rules:

1. Age Policy: * Children (ages 4-17): Allowed only on morning tours (if available) and accompanied by an adult. Starting at 2:00 PM, the club becomes an adults-only party.

• Adults (20+): Passport (or clear passport photo on phone) must be presented at check-in.

2. Dress code: Beach Chic. Stylish swimwear is a must. No sloppy street clothes or shirts with political slogans allowed.
3. Safety: Because it is a ship, drug use is strictly prohibited. There are security guards and strict checks at check-in.
4. Flights: As of 2026, El Al and Thai Airways operate direct flights from Tel Aviv to Bangkok, with short connecting flights (less than an hour) to Phuket. It is recommended to book your visit to YONA at least two weeks in advance.

🍽️ Culinary at YONA: Not just drinks

The club restaurant underwent an upgrade in 2026 and now offers a fusion menu:

• Signature dishes: Fresh tuna sashimi, papaya salad with seafood, and a luxurious wagyu burger.
• Cocktails: Don’t miss the “YONA Signature” – a cocktail based on local gin and tropical fruits.

💡 Secret tips (don’t tell anyone)

• Getting there: Don’t use random taxis. Use the Grab or Bolt apps – it will save you “arguing” about the price to the pier.
• Lockers: There are lockers on the lower deck, but they are small. Don’t bring huge suitcases or backpacks.
• High seas: If you suffer from seasickness, take a pill before boarding. The club is very stable thanks to modern technology, but the shuttle (transfer boat) can bounce a little.
• Travel insurance: Make sure your insurance includes “light adventure sports” or marine activities – just in case.

Summary: Is it worth the money?

In 2026, YONA Beach Club is not just a place to take photos – it’s a full sensory experience. If you’re looking to combine the luxury of the French Riviera with the freedom of Thailand, this is the place for you. The price is high, but the food and beverage credit makes it worth it for those who were planning on ordering a good meal and alcohol on a day out anyway.
