Haad Yuan, located not far away from Haad Rin, is a beautiful beach with fine, white sand. Many people come here on day trips by boat from Haad Rin, but a lot stay on Haad Yuan for longer. The road from Ban Khai to Haad Yuan is a dirt track only manageable by pick ups.
It's quite amazing how much quietness Haad Yuan radiates, being so close to the party zone. Still the resorts here are not too large and everything goes at a slower pace. If you are looking for a place on Phangan where you can meet other travelers who still say hello to each other and smile, it is probably here on Haad Yuan. Haad Yuan is connected to its neighbouring beaches Haad Tien and Haad Wai Nam by small footpaths.
Good Hope is another older operation along Hat Yuan's rocky southern headland. The bungalows are worn inside and out but are spacious and bright inside with lots of natural light. The bathrooms are large but somewhat nasty, and most units enjoy some pretty funky odours. Scattered along the rocks and the partially-shaded hillside, most huts have great views out to sea and across the bay-best enjoyed from your hammock. A passable budget choice.

Big Blue is the most happening place on Hat Yuan, attracting a lively, younger clientele. The rooms suit most budgets and can accommodate up to four people. The wooden bungalows are clean and comfortable, spread along the hillside garden just off the beach. They offer plenty of activities to keep guests occupied, including the only basketball court in the area (if not the island), as well as beach volleyball, kayaks (50-70B/hour) and other sports equipment. For those who want to relax, sun chairs and a movie lounge in the cosy restaurant are good places to flop for a while. With a gift shop and mini mart, they seem to have it all here. A fun choice and good value.

With bungalows scattered along Hat Yuan's rocky northern cliff and up hill around a garden, Bamboo Hut is popular and affordable. Travellers of all kinds frequent Bamboo, many of them repeat customers, and even more people make their way here to dine at the restaurant. With great views, and a delicious variety of seafood and other tasty cuisine, this is one of the best restaurants on this coast, and the service is very friendly. The solid wooden bungalows are in good shape, but the open bathrooms let the bugs in. Otherwise, this is a great choice.
