Best Hotels in Tri Trang Beach
The best hotels in Tri Trang Beach sit about 3 kilometres south of central Patong Beach, tucked into a quiet cove that most visitors drive straight past on their way to the main strip. Sometimes called Emerald Bay, the water is clear, the bay is sheltered, and the crowd is a fraction of what you find on Patong Beach itself. The nine hotels on this list cover the full range, from Rosewood Phuket and Phuket Marriott Merlin Beach Resort at the luxury end to the small and affordable At Sea Patong with its direct beach access. All of them give you a quieter base while keeping Patong’s restaurants, nightlife, and shopping within a 10-minute drive.
Rosewood Phuket
Rosewood Phuket is a luxury resort on Tri Trang Beach (also called Emerald Bay), about 3 km south of central Patong. The resort has 71 pavilions and villas, all with private pools and ocean views. The design is elegant without being over the top, and the service is the best I have experienced near Patong.
There are four restaurants, including Ta Khai, which serves excellent Thai food in a beachfront setting. The resort also has three pools, an Asaya Spa, and padel courts. Rosewood sits on a quiet beach while being only a 10-minute drive from Patong’s restaurants and nightlife. It is the only hotel near Patong that I would call true luxury.
