The hotel is found on the west coast of Phuket, 1 mile away from the village of Nai Thorn. The airport is located 10 minutes away, the beaches of Patong and Phuket town is 45 minutes away (15.5 miles).
The 52 rooms are spacious (645 ft²) and comfortable. In teak and white, the decor here is cared for in the smallest details. Here you will find everything you need: Satellite TV, minibar, robe, hairdryer, beach bag, safe and HiFi. The bathrooms benefit from a bathtub incrusted in the floor, service products. They are not very spacious but functional.
Built in 2001, the Andaman White Beach Resort is a hotel constructed on two levels, adapting to the terrain. The lobby, the reception and the restaurants first, then there is the pool, the terraces, the bungalows inspired by the Thai villages and the beach. The complex is built in a well maintained garden, here and there the trees filtering the sun rays make a calm and enjoyable setting.
3 restaurants are available. The snack-pizza of the pool is open from noon to 5 pm and offers an outdoor breakfast in the morning. The Thai restaurant offers a buffet in the morning in high season (November-April) and opens its menu of specialities in the evening. The Italian restaurant, small and with Mediterranean decor, is only open for dinner, from 7 am to 10.30 pm. In high season, the hotel organises barbecues around the pool.
The beach is 1,150 feet long, and can only be accessed through the hotel, which guarantees the tranquillity of the swimmers. A small isolated cove, turquoise sea and soft sand. Deckchairs and sunshades are available. You can also rent aquatic equipment.
Luciano, the hotel manager is Italian, and offers his Italian restaurant, the cuisine is supervised by himself, for the greatest pleasure of your palace... The small spa offers different types of massages. A beautiful canoe in front of the hotel can take you to dive or go for a excursion on the island which can be seen from the beach.

With incontestable features - a golf course, a very high level of service, accommodation of very high category - , the Banyan Tree imposes itself without difficulty as one of the most luxurious establishments in Phuket.
The Laguna Beach Resort is a beautiful and big infrastructure built in the splendid setting of Phuket lagoon. It has an impeccable comfort and all equipment and services necessary for a nice stay. Couples or families, the satisfaction is guaranteed.
The Sheraton is the biggest infrastructure in Phuket. This hotel has impressive dimension and is located in the Phuket lagoon. It combines a lot of comfort, luxury, equipment and quality of the services.
Welcome to the Indigo Pearl world! What a pleasure to discover an establishment with its own identity, where the keyword of the decoration is originality. Once arrived, you will not enter in an ordinary hotel, but in another world. The designer Bill Bensley is unquestionably a genius. A real favourite!
Located bordering Laguna Beach, the Bangtao Beach Resort has been existing since 2003. Find out about the road before coming here, it is located on a small street, where you will not think you will find a hotel. The staff of this hotel is very friendly and smiley. This hotel suits people who are looking for simple but effective comfort.
It is difficult if not impossible not to be charmed by this calm and relaxing place. The Manathai is a superb boutique hotel, open since 2006. Its unique decoration is much more refined than in certain grand palaces. However, you do not come here for the organised activities, as there are not any. Nevertheless, couples will be delighted to stay there. A beautiful success!
The Karon Beach has the major advantage of being built directly on Karon beach itself. Its small size is another advantage, given that it only has 80 rooms, although these are unfortunately a little on the small side. You will also be pleased to hear that the restaurant serves delicious food and offers magnificent views.
The West Sands would have been a very pleasant establishment had its neighbour not been... Phuket international airport! We've rarely ever seen a hotel so close to a neighbour of this sort. It is even possible to watch some of the planes taking off and landing on the island while comfortably sitting on the balcony of certain rooms. It could be a fairly interesting sight if the aeroplanes didn't make so much noise... Unfortunately, the traffic at Phuket is heavy. The West Sands is a family hotel that is also close to an aquapark, Splash Jungle, to the great joy of children. However, even though it belongs to the same owner, guests do not have free access but do benefit from a preferential rate.
With incontestable features - a golf course, a very high level of service, accommodation of very high category - , the Banyan Tree imposes itself without difficulty as one of the most luxurious establishments in Phuket.
The Anantara Phuket Villas boasts truly peaceful, serene surroundings, and is the kind of place you'd come solely to relax. It consists of a series of villas with a private pool; you really would be hard-pressed to find a better place to get away from it all. The staff is also very attentive and the service personalised. Although the majority of the clientele is made up of couples, children are also welcome; there is even a special club for them. The complex faces northwest, so you'll get to enjoy some beautiful sunsets...
Here is the kind of hotel where you think to spend peaceful holidays, quietly sat on your terrace or on the beach with a good book... The Trisara opened in November 2004. It is then a beautiful hotel, isolated from the rest of the island but especially from the rest of the world...
Far away from the bustle of Patong or Karon, the Royal Meridien Phuket Yacht Club is a top high standard hotel. Luxury, calm and voluptuousness.
Opened since 2002, the Evason Phuket is a quality establishment. The hotel extends on a property of 158 acres. Families will be happy to know that the hotel offers a children club. And couples will have space for their privacy...
The Sala Phuket was definitely one of our favourite hotels in Phuket. This splendid establishment is a true haven of peace, both in terms of its architectural qualities and in terms of the tranquillity it offers. It's the perfect love nest for couples, but the hotel also welcomes children, although there is no entertainment on offer. The standard rooms, called the Balcony Rooms, intentionally come in limited numbers. This is for good reason, as it would be a shame to come here without enjoying the superb villas with their private pools. The Sala Phuket opened in 2008 and has many successful years to look forward to!
The Movenpick Karon Beach of Phuket is open since 20th July 2007. It is the former Crown Plaza. The establishment is composed of big living spaces where guests are not crammed. It has the biggest children club on Phuket island: families will be seduced!
The JW Marriot hotel is one of the biggest infrastructures in Phuket. This luxurious hotel combines a big quantity of equipment, quality services and impeccable comfort in a nice well-ventilated setting.
