BEACHES OF PHUKET

Rim Talay at Amari Phuket in Patong Beach

Rim Talay Restaurant at Amari Phuket

    Also near the sea, Rim Talay is where you will most probably enjoy a superb buffet breakfast, lunch, and dinner. In front of Rim Talay is a large outdoor sitting area with an open bar where having a cocktail or two is a perfect treat.

    Heeowhat Beach

    Heeowhat Beach

      Heeowhat Beach is quite large, with tall trees near Cape Panwa on the east coast of Phuket. It is home to the Pullman Panwa Phuket Resort, but because the beach is very wide and shallow, it is not a swimming beach, just great for walks in a peaceful atmosphere.

      Makham Beach in Phuket

      Makham Beach

        Makham Beach is one of the island’s least-known beaches, hidden near Cape Panwa when driving from Phuket Town. The beach is lovely to walk on, but the sea is not as blue as other tourist beaches on the East Coast

        Siam Beach

        Siam Beach

          Siam Beach on the west coast of Phuket is so small and hard to reach via stairs that it is not worth going there; we list it here because it is considered a beach, good for snorkelling.

          Hotels in Ya Nui Beach

          5 Hotels in Ya Nui Beach

            Ya Nui Beach is small but very popular for its unique feel of tucked bay with coconut trees surrounded by green hills and islands in the front. While there are no hotels with direct beach access, there are a few nice hotels near by or at a short driving distance. You will be able to chose from cheal local bungalows to modern pool villas.

            Yae Beach Phuket

            Yae Beach

              Yae Beach is not fantastic, but we wanted to see it since it is hard to find. It’s on a cape between Patong and Kamala, and you won’t see much there, just a small hut selling drinks when it’s open.

              Royros Restauarant on Ya Nui Beach in Phuket Island

              Royros Restaurant

                Royros is a lively local restaurant located along the roadside of Ya Nui Beach in Phuket. With its large outdoor seating area shaded by tall trees, it’s an excellent spot to enjoy a meal or a drink after activities like swimming, snorkelling, kayaking, or relaxing on the beautiful beach

                Ya Nui Restaurant in Phuket

                Ya Nui Restaurant

                  There are two or three restaurants around, which also rent basic bungalows. One is called Ya Nui Restaurant, and it’s just across the street from the beach, set in the welcome shade of tall trees; it is a perfect place for lunch. They serve excellent Thai food at the right price, so don’t hesitate.

                  La Scala Italian restaurant

                  La Scala

                    We didn’t know what to expect as restaurants inside the hotel are always challenging and often lack culinary personality. But La Scala was a surprisingly great surprise, and the dinner was beyond expectation, the kind of experience you still talk about once back home.

                    Sunya Coffee Bar & Wine

                    Sunya Coffee Bar & Wine at Dinso Resort

                      This coffee bar serves coffee, tea, and pastries in the morning, and wine and cocktails in the evening. Most importantly, this is where you will enjoy a generous breakfast buffet every morning.

                      Kata Noi Beach Restaurants - Where to Eat in Kata Noi Beach?

                      Kata Noi Beach Restaurants

                        The bay of Kata Noi Beach is not very big, but there are quite a few restaurants nearby. Some of the most scenic restaurants in Phuket are perched along the roadside that passes high above the bay, offering superb panoramic views and stunning sunsets, too. Kata Noi Beach is also home to a couple of fine dining venues.

                        Portosino at Avista Grande Phuket Karon

                          Rivet Bar at The Slate in Phuket

                          Rivet & Rebar

                            Rivet & Rebar at The Slate Phuket near the beach is an open-fired grill and smokehouse with dramatic, industrial-chic interiors, a great place to enjoy steaks and after-dinner drinks. The restaurant is all wood and leather, creating a dark and intimate atmosphere.

                            Tin Mine Restaurant

                            Tin Mine Restaurant

                              Tin Mine, the main restaurant, is where you will have your breakfast. It’s vast and open-air, surrounded by greenery like almost everything in the resort. The breakfast buffet is impressive and excellent. Again, and like in the entire resort, the mining theme is omnipresent in every detail, even in the table sets.

                              Kata Rock Clubhouse in Kata Beach Phuket

                              Kata Rocks Clubhouse

                                Kata Rocks has only one restaurant serving Mediterranean and seafood cuisine, but with rooms so well designed for in-house dining, you won’t need more. Tables are along with the iconic infinity pool, so make sure you come a bit before sunset to enjoy some of Kata Rocks’ famous cocktails (they even have their signature gin). As the sun disappears, the pool lights turn on, and the atmosphere becomes even more romantic, the perfect setting to enjoy the superb cuisine.

                                Four Points by Sheraton Phuket, Patong Beach, Phuket

                                The Deck Beach Club at Four Points by Sheraton Phuket

                                  The Deck Beach Club at Four Points by Sheraton Phuket in Patong Beach is an infinity pool with an immense terrace and a bar at the front of the hotel. It’s not on the beach but across the road, and a wall of trees kind of blocks the view of the sea, but it’s the best spot to enjoy a sunset with a cocktail and a view of the beach and the sea just across the street.

                                  The Harbor Restaurant

                                  The Harbor Restaurant

                                    The Harbor Restaurant at The Shore at Katathani Resort on Kata Noi Beach was a lot better than most hotel restaurants we had previously tried. Set by the side of the infinity poolside and above the beach, it has a very romantic mood and offers an excellent menu and wine list. Try the Pinot Noir beef braised short ribs. These were so good that we had to order them again the next day! Prices are surprisingly reasonable, so don’t be shy about ordering.

                                    Laimai Courtyard Restaurant

                                    Laimai Courtyard at Baan Laimai

                                      Laimai Courtyard is the restaurant and relaxing area between the pool and the beach road where guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner. The vast area is covered with an artificial lawn, and the many trees, lights and umbrellas surrounding a thatched roof central bar create a surprisingly attractive garden atmosphere
