Windmill Viewpoint, Phuket

Windmill Viewpoint, Phuket

The Ya Nui View Point or the Windmill viewpoint is located on the island near the Promthep Cape and has a collection of wind turbines that generate power for the town of Phuket. The beauty of the sea, sun and sand at the Nai Harn and Ya Nui beaches can be captured from this spectacular viewpoint. A view of the deep turquoise sea, white sands and the seasonal yachts on these beaches is the one that words can’t explain. A shortcut to the rocks through the golden grass takes you to a picturesque place that is perfect for a day of fishing. One can also view another island off the coast of Phuket, called the Koh Man. At the viewpoint one can only find a “Sala” for shade- a house with just a roof, no walls and a parking lot. On sunny days one can also find drink vendors at the view point. A bike or car ride through the windy and steep roads is ideal to reach here. However, a walk on the dirt road leading to the point, through the trees usually gives the visitor an unusual and beautiful view of the Nai Harn beach.

The panoramic view of the Phuket town from this point is worth capturing although the view is likely to last longer in your memory than on any device.
