Local Attractions

Within easy reach of Andaman House, three unmissable attractions showcase the best of Patong:

• Patong Beach: Just a 10-minute walk from the hotel, this 2.7-kilometer crescent of golden sand is Phuket’s most famous beach. Spend your days swimming in the Andaman Sea, renting a beach chair for a few dollars, or trying stand-up paddleboarding and parasailing, then stay for the vibrant sunset that paints the sky in hues of orange and pink.
• Bangla Road: A 15-minute tuk-tuk ride from the hotel, this iconic entertainment strip comes alive after dark with street performers, open-air bars, seafood restaurants, and night markets. It’s the best place to experience Patong’s famous nightlife, pick up cheap souvenirs, and sample street food classics like pad thai and fresh mango sticky rice.
• Kata Noi Viewpoint: A 20-minute drive south of Patong, this clifftop viewpoint offers one of the most photographed panoramic views in Phuket, overlooking the turquoise bays of Kata Noi, Kata Yai, and Karon. Arrive early in the morning to beat the crowds and catch soft light over the Andaman Sea.

Travel Tips

Book an airport transfer through the hotel’s paid service for a hassle-free arrival after your international flight— it’s cheaper than hailing a random cab at the airport and includes direct drop-off at the property. If you plan to rent a scooter to explore the island, take advantage of the hotel’s free public parking. Note that higher floors are only accessible via stairs, so request a ground-floor room if you have mobility concerns. And don’t skip the daily breakfast at the in-house restaurant: the freshly cooked Thai omelets and tropical fruit platter are the perfect start to a day of exploring.
