Nearby Local Attractions

Three standout nearby attractions make this resort an ideal base for exploring:

• Bang Tao Beach: Just a 5-minute walk from the resort, this 7-kilometer stretch of soft sand is far less crowded than Phuket’s more popular southern beaches. Its calm, shallow waters are perfect for swimming, and beachfront shacks serving fresh Thai seafood and cold cocktails line the shore for lazy afternoon stops.
• Wat Phra Thong: A 15-minute drive from the resort, this iconic local temple is home to the famous “half-buried Buddha” that legend says no one has ever managed to fully dig up. The serene, leafy temple grounds offer a quiet look into local Thai culture and striking hilltop views of the surrounding countryside.
• Phuket FantaSea: A 20-minute drive away, this popular cultural theme park offers extravagant nightly shows, traditional Thai handicraft markets, and a huge buffet dinner, perfect for a fun family evening out.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during peak season (November to February) to secure garden or courtyard-view rooms, which sell out quickly. Ask the front desk to arrange a private snorkeling trip to the nearby Similan Islands for a less crowded alternative to the popular day trips from Phuket Town. If you’re traveling on a budget, take advantage of the resort’s bike rental to explore the local cafes and hidden coves along Bang Tao Beach at your own pace, rather than booking expensive taxis. The resort offers hypoallergenic rooms for guests with allergies, so be sure to note this request when booking.
