Nearby Attractions

Three can’t-miss spots are within a 15-minute walk or short tuk-tuk ride of the resort:

• Patong Beach: Just a 10-minute stroll from the resort, this iconic 3-kilometer stretch of golden sand is Phuket’s most famous beach. Spend your day swimming in the Andaman Sea, trying jet skiing or parasailing, or lounging under a rented beach umbrella with a cold mango shake. At sunset, the beachfront comes alive with fire dancers and street food vendors serving fresh grilled seafood.
• Bangla Road: Patong’s legendary nightlife hub is 12 minutes away on foot. Lined with neon-lit bars, nightclubs, live music venues, and street performers, it’s the go-to spot for travelers looking to dance the night away or explore Patong’s after-dark scene. Even if you don’t plan to party, it’s worth a visit to soak up the electric atmosphere.
• Patong OTOP Shopping Paradise: This bustling indoor market is just 5 minutes from the resort, perfect for picking up souvenirs, handmade Thai silk, beachwear, and local handicrafts. Bargain for unique goods, sample cheap and delicious street food from the market’s food court, and escape the midday heat in air-conditioned comfort.

Travel Tips

Book your room in advance during peak season (November to February) to secure the best rates and balcony rooms with hill views. Ask the front desk to arrange a taxi or airport shuttle for you, rather than accepting offers from unlicensed drivers outside the airport, for a fair price. The resort is a 10-minute walk from the beach, so bring comfortable walking sandals or rent a scooter from the front desk for easy exploration around Patong. If you prefer a quieter experience, request a room facing the hill rather than the street to avoid
