Where to Stay in Ya Nui Beach?
Ya Nui Beach is small but very popular for its unique feel of a tucked bay with coconut trees surrounded by green hills and islands in the front. While there are no hotels with direct beach access to Ya Nui Beach, there are a few nice hotels nearby or at a short driving distance. You will be able to choose from cheap local bungalows to modern pool villas.
| Update: Songkran Festival is on April 13 to 15 this year. If you are planning to visit Phuket in April, book early. Hotels in Patong, Kata, Karon, Kamala, and Bangtao fill up fast during this period, some hotels are already fully booked. |
Ya Nui Beach Villas
Tucked just behind Ya Nui Beach, these villas sit along a small local road — easy to miss without a map. They’re not part of a big resort. No front desk, no lobby, no breakfast buffet. Just a handful of homes with private pools, surrounded by walls and small gardens that keep things quiet. Each unit has two or three bedrooms and a basic kitchen setup, enough for simple meals.
The area falls between Rawai and Nai Harn, with Promthep Cape and the Windmill Viewpoint just a short ride away. It’s more of a self-managed stay — guests deal directly with the owner or booking agent, and most things are arranged in advance.
The beach is a short walk away — no more than five minutes — and several cafés, minimarts, and seafood restaurants are scattered along the road nearby. It’s a good base for travellers who want to explore the quieter southern end of the island while still being close to the sea.
Ya Nui Beach Villas suit couples, families, or small groups looking for independence and easy beach access without the bustle of a full-scale resort.

Ya Nui Resort
Ya Nui Resort is a small, independently run property in the Rawai area, about 10 minutes on foot from Ya Nui Beach. It’s not flashy, but it’s well-placed if you want something quiet and close to the sea without going too far off-grid. Nai Harn Beach is just up the road, and Promthep Cape and the Windmill Viewpoint are within a short drive.
The resort has a mix of studios and larger apartments — some with one or two bedrooms — each with a kitchenette, air conditioning, and a small outdoor space like a terrace or balcony. Furnishings are simple, more functional than stylish, but clean and maintained.
There’s a saltwater pool on-site, a small restaurant that does both Thai and Western food, and a casual bar area. Motorbike rentals and airport transfers can usually be arranged, and the staff speak several languages, including English and French.
This is a quiet option — no big crowds or high-end extras — more suited to travellers who want basic comfort, beach access, and enough independence to explore the southern coast at their own pace.
