Nearby Attractions

• Patong Beach: Just 1km from the hotel, this iconic 3-kilometer crescent of white sand is Phuket’s most popular beach. Spend your day swimming in the Andaman Sea, trying parasailing or jet skiing, or lounging at a beachfront bar with a cold Chang beer. At sunset, the beach transforms into a lively night market selling handmade souvenirs and street food.
• Bangla Road: A 10-minute walk from Royal Prince Residence, this is Patong’s famous entertainment strip. By day, it’s lined with tailors, massage parlors, and street food stalls; after dark, it comes alive with neon lights, live music, cabaret shows, and open-air bars for every vibe.
• Karon Viewpoint: A 20-minute drive from Patong, this clifftop viewpoint offers postcard-perfect panoramic views of the Andaman Sea and the three bays of Kata Noi, Kata Yai, and Karon. It’s the perfect spot for sunrise photos, and the surrounding hill trails are great for casual hikes.

Travel Tips

Book your stay directly through the hotel to lock in the free airport shuttle, and confirm pickup details 48 hours before your arrival. If you’re traveling with family, request one of the spacious family rooms that offer extra sleeping space and privacy. The hotel can arrange discounted dive trips to nearby Phi Phi Islands and Surin Islands through its tour desk, and scooter rental can be arranged directly at the front desk for around 200 THB per day, cheaper than rental shops on the main beach strip. Because the hotel is located on a quiet side soi (lane), it’s far enough away from the noise of Bangla Road to get a good night’s sleep, but still close enough to walk to all of Patong’s best attractions in
