Many travellers dream of staying right on the beach in Patong, but in reality, only two hotels have true direct access to the sand—and they come with a high price tag. That’s why we created a separate list just for those rare beachfront hotels.
Ciao Pizza and Grill is a casual and easy-going restaurant right across the street from Karon Beach, part of Thavorn Palm Beach Resort. Even though it’s inside a hotel, the prices are surprisingly reasonable, which is rare for resort dining in Phuket
Black Pearl Art & Bar is one of those places you wouldn’t find unless someone told you about it. We saw it while riding along the scenic road above Kata Noi Beach—the same road where people stop for sunset drinks at After Beach Bar, Baan Chong View, or The Sundeck.
Kora Beach Resort is a new luxury resort located on the peaceful Layan Beach, one of Phuket’s hidden gems. Nestled next to the trendy Bangtao Beach, this location offers a perfect balance between relaxation and convenience.
Friendship Beach lies on the southeast coast of Phuket along Chalong Bay, just north of Rawai Beach. We recently revisited this little-known spot because it’s such a different experience from the island’s more popular beaches.
Rosewood Phuket is the only true luxury near Patong Beach. There are, of course, a few 5-star hotels, but Rosewood takes the luxury to a new level. The restaurants are beautiful and serve delicious Thai food. The hotel has direct access to the peaceful Tri Trang Beach and is only 5 km away from busy Patong.
The Pavilions Phuket is a luxury resort dramatically perched high up on one of Phuket’s peaks, offering sweeping 360-degree vistas of the island. A short ride of just a mere 20 minutes from Phuket International Airport, this small retreat marries hilltop serenity to easy proximity to pristine Layan Beach via complimentary shuttle transportation
Suspended above the Andaman Sea, DOXA Skybar is a sleek architectural masterpiece that feels as if it’s floating in the sky. Located on the second floor of Fira Phuket and accessible via a striking skywalk, DOXA’s panoramic views make it one of Phuket’s premier sunset destinations.
Located on the second floor of Fira Phuket, Kipo Restaurant offers a dining experience that blends Spanish-inspired flavours with a contemporary twist. Helmed by Executive Chef Ramon Verano, the menu showcases the freshest local ingredients in bold, inventive dishes.
La Flora Resort Patong is a beachfront hotel on Patong Beach, offering direct access to the sand. It features modern rooms, private pool villas, and a rooftop restaurant with sea views
Karon Beach offers a rather light nightlife scene, mostly centred around Patak Road, which stretches from the beach road circle to Karon Temple. This lively street is filled with shops, restaurants, bars and live music venues, making it perfect for an evening stroll.

Andaman White Beach Resort is a secluded hotel near the airport. It may not be as luxurious as other hotels, but its beach is unique, immense, private and superb. This setting is great for enjoying taking Instagram photos that will make all your friends jealous. The pool has a decent size, and the restaurants offer sea views.
Kata Beach offers a laid-back but lively nightlife scene, with a mix of beachfront bars, hilltop venues, and casual beer bars. The famous Ska Bar, set on the rocks at the southern end of the beach, is a great place to enjoy a drink with reggae vibes.
Endless Summer Beach Club brings a lively atmosphere to the south of Patong Beach, blending beachside energy with a laid-back setting. Part of the Courtyard by Marriott Phuket, Patong Beach Resort, the club is set across the street from the beach.
