Ganesh Mr
★★★★★3 months agoAbsolutely stunning! Freedom Beach in Phuket is easily one of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever visited. The water is crystal clear, the sand is soft and white, and the surrounding greenery makes it feel like a hidden paradise. It’s much quieter than other beaches, which makes it perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. The views are breathtaking, especially if you come early in the morning. Definitely worth the effort to get there—highly recommended for anyone visiting Phuket!
Mehul Batra
★★★★★a month agoA beautiful hidden beach in Phuket with crystal clear water and peaceful vibes. 😍 Getting there is a little adventure—you have to walk around 25 minutes downhill through the forest, and then climb back up, so definitely carry water and essentials with you. 🥾🌿 There are no shops or shacks on the beach, which makes the place feel very natural and untouched. The beach is small but the view is absolutely worth it. Perfect spot if you want a quiet escape away from the crowd! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
