Wyndham Garden Naithon Phuket
4.2/569 Reviews
Nai Ton Beach
Friendly and helpful staff. Had to request room to be cleaned several times. Construction right now is a pain. Get the happy hour cocktails - they are fantastic! Nice pool, but breakfast is little expensive if not included in the booking price. Beach & Bubbles restaurant nearby has great breakfast after 11am. 5 min walk to the beach is a hassle, but they do allow towels to be taken to the beach. Will be a great stay once the construction next door is done. Pleasant place to stay tho.
Andaman White Beach Resort
4.3/573 Reviews
Nai Ton Beach
It may be in need of renovation here and there, and some of its facilities may not be operational, but it’s very cozy, clean and beautiful with amazing beach and an epic cat that hangs around the reception and seems to be helping everyone with all its might. The rooms are very spacious, even bathrooms. The breakfast is simple, but you have everything you need: fried eggs, omelette, sausages, bacon, rice, noodles, fruits and juices. The restaurant itself overlooks the pool and the sea, which is breathtaking most of the time. Lunch in the hotel is rather good, but overpriced as expected, so most of the time you will eat on Nai Thon Beach which is only 15 minutes away by feet. There are at least 2-3 decent restaurants there - I’d personally recommend “95 Restaurant”. The pool here is not very deep, but quite lengthy, although I doubt you will spend much time in it with the seaside right next to it. This is by far the biggest advantage of the hotel - the private beach with cliffs on both ends. Compared to most Thai hotels it’s a very rare thing. It’s huge, clean, with lots of free space to move your beach beds anyway you want and with beautiful crystal clear sea. It’s not very still, but waves add lots of fun to it. Wi-Fi is strange and very frustrating: it was mostly absent in our room, appearing for mere seconds just to be gone the moment you try to use it, but very stable by the pool and even by the sea. I suppose it should be the other way round, oh well. There’s a mandatory deposit on check-in of 200 USD or 13000THB, which is a lot and quite an inconvenience, if cash is the only thing you have on you. I wish I knew about that beforehand, so I could take extra. The staff is very nice and attentive, always smiling and trying to help. I would definitely love to come back here.
Aromdee @ Naithon Beach
3.9/517 Reviews
Nai Ton Beach
This hotel needs to walk 3-5 minutes to Naithon Beach. It is a very quiet and peaceful beach just south of Phuket Airport. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look) the government clamped down on operators of beach chairs and umbrellas, so you need to buy cheap mats and umbrellas somewhere in this small village - small malls are best priced. The hotel itself is not impressive, but the rooms are quite large and modern with flat screen TV, refrigerator, indoor safe etc. The room rate includes breakfast but there is a small plate of fresh fruit with toast, jam, juice, coffee. If you don't want to pay more than double the price, it's very difficult to find a better room in Naithon.

Nai Ton Beach
The environment is so beautiful, you can cook but there is no place nearby to buy ingredients. In June, there is a southwesterly wind and the waves are very big. Locals say that when the easterly wind turns in November, the waves are not that big. Restaurants, massage parlors, and supermarkets are open from 10-10 a.m., so remember to buy enough food.
Pullman Phuket Arcadia Naithon Beach
4.5/5393 Reviews
Nai Ton Beach
Such a wonderful place to stay. The staff are so friendly as they help you out. One staff even took lots of photos for us. A staff even helped us park our car rental in the rain. The rooms were clean and spacious also. The pools are so wonderful. They even have cars to drive you right up to your specific building where your room is and ferry you to other hotel locations. A slight inconvenience is how far this branch of Pullman is from the main attraction and the city centers. But they take you by van bus to the major beaches. Also, you can do so much just staying in the hotel area like spa, cooking classes, restaurants, gym, pools (both for families and one for just adults), private beach, and bars. Also, get the breakfast as it’s delicious! It wasn’t included in the basic package on trip so double check that. We wish we had taken more photos of the place but were too busy enjoying!

Phuket Nai Ton Beach Hotel Guide

A first-time guide to Phuket: Things to Do, Transport & Tips

Phuket, Thailand's largest island, it’s a haven for all kinds of things to do. Patong Beach is the place to go for lively nightlife and water sports like jet skiing, while Kata Beach is a quieter spot, perfect for families and snorkeling. Karon and Kamala beaches are great for those looking to relax and enjoy the sea without the crowds.

There’s much to love about Phuket beyond its beautiful beaches. The island’s Old Town is full of colorful buildings that take you back to the days of tin barons, with markets and street food stalls. You can wander around the old town, enjoy fresh street food, or take a hike through the hills and waterfalls.😉


Getting To & Around Phuket

Though Phuket is an island, getting here is surprisingly easy. With direct flights from major cities around the world, you'll land at Phuket International Airport (HKT) in no time.

Located in the island’s northern part, it's Thailand's second busiest airport, offering frequent flights from Bangkok and direct connections to Asia, the Middle East, India, and Australia. You can also catch seasonal charter flights from Europe. The airport has two terminals: Terminal 1 for international flights and Terminal 2 for domestic and charter airlines, both linked by a convenient air-conditioned walkway.

Phuket International Airport is about 32 km (20 miles) from popular destinations like Patong and Phuket Town.

  • To get to these areas, you can take the Phuket Smart Bus (100 baht, approx. $3), which runs from the airport to the west coast beaches.
  • Alternatively, you can use a municipal airport bus (100 baht, approx. $3) to Phuket Town, or a minibus, which offers door-to-door service and is faster, though prices may vary.
  • Metered taxis (500 baht, approx. $15) and limousine taxis (more expensive) are also available directly at the airport.

Where to Stay in Phuket

Where to Stay in Phuket🌴

Patong Beach: Phuket's most famous stretch of sand! 3km of beach with jet-skis, parasailing, and beach chairs everywhere. The water's not the clearest but the vibe is unbeatable. Behind the beach, Bangla Road comes alive at night with bars and clubs. Great street food at Malin Plaza night market, and Jungceylon mall for shopping and air-con breaks. Perfect for first-timers who want action!

Kata Beach: My favorite all-rounder! Crystal clear water (amazing for snorkeling around the rocks), surfing waves from May-October, and the most gorgeous sunset views. More chilled than Patong but still plenty happening. Don't miss the viewpoint at Kata Noi - you can see all three bays! Lots of great Thai restaurants and beach bars without the crazy prices.

Nai Harn Beach: The local's secret! Stunning blue water and the island's best snorkeling spot (tons of fish around the rocky ends). Great for sailing - you can rent small catamarans right on the beach. The hills around here are gorgeous for sunset walks, and there's an amazing fresh seafood market nearby where locals eat. Way quieter than the north beaches.

Surin Beach: The fancy one! Super clear water, perfect for swimming, with million-dollar villas dotting the hills. Famous for beach clubs (check out Catch!) and high-end seafood restaurants. Great spot for stand-up paddleboarding when the sea's calm. Close to Boat Avenue for boutique shopping and cute cafes.

Top Things to Do in Phuket

Top Things to Do in Phuket

  • Patong Beach You can jump into some parasailing or jet-skiing if you want that thrill, or just chill with a cold beer while you watch the sunset. If you’re feeling bold, head over to the Bangla Road area, where the nightlife comes at you like a truck—bars, clubs, you name it.
  • Phuket Old Town While the beaches might steal the show, don’t sleep on Phuket Old Town. Walking through the streets here feels like stepping into another era with its Sino-Portuguese architecture, colorful buildings, and amazing street art. Make sure to stop by the local cafes and check out the unique markets for some quirky souvenirs.
Top Things to Do in Phuket
  • Racha Yai Island If you’re all about diving or snorkeling, Racha Yai Island is your ideal place. Seriously, this place has some of the clearest water I've ever seen. The coral reefs are pretty rad, and there's a ton of marine life swimming around. Take a speedboat out, grab your gear, and let the island's beauty do the rest.
  • Phi Phi Islands Picture clear blue waters, towering limestone cliffs, and beaches straight out of a postcard. You can catch a boat from Phuket and spend the day hopping between islands—snorkeling, sunbathing, and just taking in the beauty of it all.

When Should I Go to Phuket?

Phuket has two main seasons: dry and wet. If you're looking to escape winter, the best time to visit is late December to mid-April. February and March are the driest months, with daytime highs reaching 36°C (95°F)—perfect for those who want to soak up the sun. However, this is also when prices for hotels can be at their highest.

If you prefer to avoid the crowds and don't mind a bit of unpredictability with the weather, the shoulder season from late April to early June is a good option. While the rainy season officially starts in June, you can still get plenty of sunny days during this period. From September to mid-October, the island sees the heaviest rains, with storms often making diving difficult. But with lower humidity and fewer tourists, it can still be a great time to visit if you're looking for a quieter experience.
