Hotels Close to the Beach in Bangtao
Bangtao Beach is long and relatively peaceful, with a mix of luxury resorts, family-friendly hotels, and smaller beachfront properties. Many of them are hidden among the trees, just steps from the beach. Layan, at the northern end of Bangtao, is even quieter and more natural, with just a handful of new hotels and a relaxed atmosphere that is still quite unique in Phuket.
Staying in this part of Phuket means youโll have easy access to the beach, wide open space, and great sunset views. Itโs a good alternative to the busier beaches, while still being close enough to restaurants, beach clubs, and shops in the Laguna and Cherngtalay areas.
This list includes only hotels that are right on the beach or just behind the treesโideal for a laid-back holiday with your feet in the sand.
