Local Attractions

Bang Tao Beach puts you within easy reach of Phuket’s most beloved spots. First, the 7-kilometer stretch of Bang Tao Beach itself is a top attraction: soft golden sand, gentle shallow waters perfect for families, and quiet beach clubs far less crowded than southern Phuket shores. Second, just 10 minutes’ drive away, the Laguna Phuket Golf Club sits less than 3 kilometers from the resort, an 18-hole championship course designed for all skill levels with rolling fairways and ocean views. Third, the nearby Cherng Talay Weekend Night Market, 15 minutes from the resort, offers authentic Thai street food, handcrafted souvenirs, and local shopping far from the tourist traps of Patong.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance to secure pool or ocean-view rooms, as these fill up quickly during peak season (November to February). If you’re arriving via Phuket International Airport, the resort’s airport shuttle is far more convenient than hailing a taxi, and door-to-door service takes just 25 minutes. For day trips, the concierge can book private longtail boats to the nearby Surin Islands for snorkeling, or arrange local cultural cooking classes to learn how to make classic Thai dishes. Don’t miss booking a sunset herbal massage at the resort’s spa after a day of exploring—it’s the perfect end to a Phuket day.
