Nearby Local Attractions

Chalong’s central location puts three of Phuket’s most beloved attractions within a 15-minute drive:

• Chalong Temple (Wat Chalong): Just 10 minutes from the hotel, this is Phuket’s most revered Buddhist temple. Explore gilded pagodas, watch local devotees leave offerings, and climb to the top of the main stupa for panoramic views over the surrounding palm-covered hills.
• Big Buddha Phuket: A 15-minute drive up the hill from the hotel, this 45-meter-tall marble Buddha statue sits atop Nakkerd Hill, offering unobstructed views of Phuket’s east and west coasts. Dress modestly (cover shoulders and knees) and stop for a cold coconut at the hilltop snack stands after your visit.
• Rawai Beach: A 10-minute drive south, this laid-back local beach is famous for its fresh seafood shacks lined along the shore and day-trip boats to the nearby islands of Coral and Racha. It’s the perfect spot for a low-key sunset dinner away from tourist crowds.

Travel Tips

As a SHA Plus certified property, The Blue Hotel maintains high health and safety standards for all travelers. Book a mountain-view balcony room for the best experience, and arrange the hotel’s paid airport transfer in advance for a hassle-free arrival after your flight. If you plan to explore the island, rent a car or scooter through the hotel front desk for better rates than third-party providers. Finally, don’t skip the hotel’s breakfast – the included local coffee and fresh tropical fruit set the perfect tone for a day of Phuket adventure.
