Attractions

The hotel’s prime Nai Yang location puts three of Phuket’s most beloved attractions within easy reach:

• Naiyang Beach: Just a five-minute walk from the hotel, this 2-kilometer stretch of soft golden sand is framed by casuarina pines, with calm, shallow water perfect for swimming and sunset strolls. Unlike Phuket’s busier beaches, it rarely feels crowded, and there are dozens of local seafood shacks within walking distance serving fresh grilled barracuda and mango sticky rice.
• Sirinat National Park: A 10-minute walk from the property, this protected coastal park is home to sea turtle nesting sites, mangrove forests, and hiking trails that wind through tropical scrubland to hidden coves. It’s also one of the best spots on the island for birdwatching, with over 100 resident and migratory species spotted throughout the year.
• Phuket Airport Viewpoint: A 10-minute bicycle ride from the hotel, this popular spot lets you watch planes descend directly over the beach for one-of-a-kind travel photos, with a cluster of local coffee shops serving cold Thai iced tea to enjoy while you wait for the next arrival.

Travel Tips

Book the hotel’s paid airport shuttle in advance for a 10-minute direct ride from Phuket International Airport, far more convenient than hailing a taxi. Rent a bicycle on-site to explore the area, as most local attractions are within easy cycling distance, and parking at nearby beaches is limited. If you plan to visit Sirinat National Park, bring cash for the entrance fee, insect repellent for mangrove hikes, and plenty of water, as on-site facilities are limited. Visit between November and February for cool, dry weather ideal for beach days, though book at least one month in advance for peak season stays.
