Beachfront Hotel in Karon Beach
Beyond Karon is right on the sand at the quiet south end of Karon Beach, practically where Karon meets Kata. That location matters because you get direct beach access on one of Phuket’s best swimming beaches, plus you can walk to restaurants and shops in both Karon and Kata. The resort is adults-only with 81 rooms, so it stays relatively peaceful even in high season. It’s a solid mid-range beachfront option without the massive resort feel.
The hotel is at the far south end of Karon Beach, about 100 meters from where the beach technically becomes Kata. You’re looking at a 10-minute walk south to Kata Beach’s main strip or a 15-minute walk north into central Karon. There’s a 7-Eleven about 5 minutes away on foot. The beach here is less crowded than central Karon, and the swimming is good year-round during high season. You’re 8 km from Patong (15 minutes by car) and about 45 minutes from the airport.
What You Get
The property has 81 rooms spread across several low-rise buildings, all with sea or pool views. Rooms run 34-54 square meters, depending on category. Every room has a balcony or terrace, air conditioning, minibar, and free Wi-Fi. The beachfront pool faces the ocean, and there’s a second pool if the first gets busy. The Beach Restaurant and Café handle Thai and international food, and the Beach Bar is right on the sand. Kanda Spa does traditional Thai treatments. They also run Thai cooking classes if that’s your thing.
Who It Works For
This is good for couples who want beachfront at mid-range prices. The adults-only policy means no kids running around the pool, which you’ll either love or not care about. The resort focuses on the eco-friendly angle and boutique feel, so don’t expect a massive breakfast buffet or five restaurant options. You give up some dining variety for a quieter property and direct beach access. The location between Karon and Kata gives you more restaurant choices than staying at the isolated north end of either beach.
The main consideration is you’re not in the centre of either beach’s action. If you want to walk out and immediately have 20 restaurant options, central Kata is better. But if you’re fine with a 10-15 minute walk to get to the main strips, you get better beach access here. Book a sea view room if you’re paying beachfront prices anyway.
