To set foot on the sandy shores of this beach, one must first secure a reservation at the resort. However, it's worth noting that this stretch of coastline is not restricted to resort guests alone.

The beach is absolutely stunning, with crystal-clear waters and immaculate sand. It is evident that the beach is well-maintained and kept spotless, unlike many of the other beaches in the vicinity which are plagued by pollution. The beach is home to a diverse range of wildlife, including reticulated pythons, flying lemurs, and great hornbills, all of which are left undisturbed in their natural habitat. The hotels in the area provide guests with access to the beach, as well as the surrounding forest, making it an ideal location for nature lovers and those seeking a peaceful getaway.

If you're looking to visit Datai Bay, make sure you've secured a reservation at one of the nearby resorts. The road leading to the beach may seem daunting at first, as it winds through the lush jungle surroundings. However, the journey is well worth it once you arrive at the stunning shoreline. Don't let the distance discourage you from experiencing this hidden gem.

Nestled along the serene coastline lies a secluded beach that offers utmost privacy and exclusivity. Although the staff may deny its private status, access to this hidden gem is only granted to those who have booked a stay at the resort. It may seem perplexing to some why a reservation is required to access a supposedly public beach, but one must experience the tranquil atmosphere and pristine waters to truly understand the value of this exclusive retreat.

It's unfortunate that this beach has been converted to a private property, depriving people of the opportunity to revel in its beauty. It's my sincere wish that the business behind this decision faces tough times ahead.
