Nearby Attractions

Three standout local attractions are all within a 20-minute drive of the resort:

• Sirinat National Park: Just 5 minutes from the resort, this protected coastal park spans pristine mangrove forests, empty white sand beaches, and protected sea turtle nesting grounds. Hike the gentle trails, spot native birdlife, or picnic on a stretch of beach that rarely feels crowded.
• Phuket International Airport Viewpoint: A 10-minute drive away, this low-key viewpoint offers unique front-row seats to watch planes take off and land against a backdrop of the Andaman Sea. It’s especially magical at sunset, when golden light paints the runway and ocean.
• Ban Sirey Temple and Fishing Village: 15 minutes south, this authentic local community lets you experience daily Thai life away from tourist crowds. Explore the hilltop temple with panoramic ocean views, sample fresh, cheap seafood at waterfront stalls, and watch local fishermen unload their daily catch.

Travel Tips

The resort is just 10 minutes from Phuket International Airport, making it a perfect first or last stop on your Phuket itinerary. Rent a bike directly from the resort to explore the flat coastal roads surrounding Naithon Beach, stopping at local street food stalls along the way. Book a sea-view room in advance for the best sunrise views over the Andaman Sea, and don’t miss the resort’s breakfast – guests consistently rank it as one of the best in the area. For day trips to more busy Phuket spots, the front desk can arrange private car transfers, but we recommend leaving a full day free to simply lounge on the resort’s quiet stretch of Naithon Beach, one of Phuket’s last underrated hidden gems.
