Yona Beach Club, Phuket — book the floating beach club with Explera.
The world's first floating beach club: infinity pool, four bars and sunset sessions anchored off the Phuket coast.
Explera DMC is an official booking partner of Yona Beach Club — the world's first floating beach club, a multi-level vessel anchored off Phuket with an infinity pool, four bars and a full restaurant. Send dates and party size to our trade desk and we confirm your session, seating category and round-trip shuttle on one Explera quotation, alongside any hotels, transfers and tours we already run for your clients.
Guests check in at Royal Phuket Marina, board a shuttle boat that departs roughly every 10–15 minutes, and reach the vessel in about 10 minutes. The 2026 season runs from 30 March to 15 November. Two distinct sessions run on board: a relaxed, family-friendly morning with a live singer, and a daily afternoon-to-night session that builds with DJs into the Andaman sunset.
A beach club with no beach — and better views because of it.
Yona is not a beachfront venue that happens to face the water — it is the water. The multi-level vessel sits anchored offshore with a 360-degree horizon, which means every seating category looks out over open sea rather than over other people's umbrellas. The centrepiece infinity pool merges visually with the Andaman, four bars keep service close wherever guests settle, and the on-board restaurant runs a full kitchen rather than beach-club finger food.
Seating runs from shared-deck sofas and daybeds through pool beds at the water line to cabanas and full VIP cabanas — every seating package includes the round-trip shuttle, pool access, a reserved seat for the entire session and a food-and-beverage credit spent on board, so the minimum spend is never money lost. For full venue detail, menus and event announcements, see the official Yona website; for confirmed availability and trade terms, talk to Explera.
For agents, Yona slots neatly into a Phuket program as the recovery day between a temple morning and an island-hopping day from our excursions range — and it is one of the most requested venues in our creator program for a reason: it photographs like nothing else on the island.
Morning calm or sunset energy — two very different sessions.
| Session | Days | Hours | Last check-in | Min age | Vibe |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Morning | Tue · Thu · Sat | 9:30 – 14:00 | 12:00 | 4+ | Family-friendly and relaxed, with a live singer — pool time, long lunches, calm decks |
| Afternoon | Daily | 14:00 – 21:30 | 17:00 | 20+ | DJ energy building into the Andaman sunset — the signature Yona session |
Match the session to the manifest: families and multi-generation groups belong on the morning session, while couples, friend groups and incentive winners get the full effect from the afternoon — arriving by 16:00 puts them in the water well before the sun drops.
Five ways to sit — every package includes an F&B credit.
Each category includes the round-trip shuttle from Royal Phuket Marina, infinity-pool access and a reserved seat for the full session. The minimum spend converts into a food-and-beverage credit used on board.
Sofa
Comfortable shared-deck sofa seating with full access to the infinity pool, all four bars and the restaurant. The right pick for couples and small groups who want the Yona experience at the gentlest minimum spend. Includes F&B credit.
Daybed
A padded daybed for two with more privacy than the sofas and a clear line to the pool and the DJ. Popular with honeymooners and content creators chasing the golden-hour angles. Includes F&B credit.
Pool Bed
Beds set directly at the infinity-pool edge — the most photographed seats on the vessel, with waiter service where you lie and the Andaman as the backdrop. Book early in peak season. Includes F&B credit.
Cabana
A semi-private cabana with shade, seating for four to six and dedicated service — the comfortable middle ground for families on the morning session or friend groups in the afternoon. Includes F&B credit.
VIP Cabana
The largest, best-positioned private setting on board with premium service, space for bigger parties and the highest included spend. The default choice for celebrations, incentives and VIP clients. Includes F&B credit.
Seat minimums typically range from around THB 1,900 (≈ USD 55) for sofas in low season to THB 8,000+ (≈ USD 230) for VIP cabanas at peak — exact minimum spend and availability are confirmed on your Explera quotation.
Booking Yona Beach Club with Explera — three steps.
As an official booking partner we confirm directly with the venue, hold trade allocations on busy dates and put one accountable operations desk behind the reservation — the same desk that runs your transfers, hotels and tours.

Receive your quotation
We confirm live availability with the venue and return a written quotation with the exact minimum spend, included F&B credit and any transfer add-ons — usually same day.

On confirmation you receive the venue voucher, marina check-in instructions and shuttle timings — plus our 24/7 operations contact in case anything changes on the day.

The setting — pool, sea and sunset.
Yona Beach Club — asked before booking.
How far ahead should Yona Beach Club be booked?
For sofas and daybeds, 3–7 days ahead is usually fine outside peak weeks. Pool beds, cabanas and VIP cabanas on sunset sessions in high season should be requested 2–4 weeks ahead. As an official booking partner Explera can check live availability and hold trade allocations on busy dates.
Can children visit Yona?
On the morning session, yes — it is family-friendly with a minimum age of 4, a live singer and a relaxed pace, running Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 9:30 to 14:00. The afternoon session (14:00–21:30, daily) has a minimum age of 20.
What is included in a Yona seating package?
Every seating package includes the round-trip shuttle boat, infinity-pool access, a reserved seat for the full session and a food-and-beverage credit spent on board. Differences between categories are position, privacy, capacity and the size of the included credit and minimum spend.
How do guests get to the floating beach club?
Check-in is at Royal Phuket Marina, then a shuttle boat runs to the vessel roughly every 10–15 minutes — the crossing takes about 10 minutes. Explera can add private hotel-to-marina transfers from any Phuket hotel using our own fleet.
What happens in bad weather?
Yona operates seasonally (the 2026 season runs 30 March to 15 November) and sessions can be adjusted or cancelled in unsafe sea conditions. If the venue cancels, bookings are moved to another date or refunded per the conditions on your Explera confirmation — we handle the rebooking.
Can dietary requirements be handled on board?
Yes — the on-board restaurant handles vegetarian, vegan, halal-friendly and most allergy requirements when flagged in advance. Note dietary needs on your Explera booking and we pass them to the venue with the manifest.
Can Yona be hired privately for an event?
Group buyouts and semi-private event setups are possible on selected dates and are quoted case by case — they suit incentives, milestone birthdays and brand events. Send the date, headcount and budget band to the trade desk and we will scope it with the venue.
How does payment work through Explera?
You pay Explera against a written quotation — bank transfer in eight receiving currencies or secure card payment — and receive a confirmed voucher for the venue. Agencies settle at net trade terms on one invoice alongside any transfers, hotels and tours we run for the same clients.
