Where to Stay in Patong, Phuket

Good for

• Couples
• First-time visitors

Couples and first-time visitors who want a stylish, resort-style base close to Patong's beach and nightlife without staying directly on the busiest stretch of the strip.

Why we like it

• Two pools and garden grounds that feel like a proper resort rather than a city hotel
• Close enough to walk to Patong Beach and Bangla Road, but set back on a quieter side street
• A spa on-site for guests who want to treat the stay as a proper break, not just a base for going out
• Some rooms open onto shared pool access, for a quieter, more resort-like stay

What to know

• Set back from the beachfront, so it's a short walk rather than direct beach frontage
• Popular with couples and groups, so it can book out well ahead during the December–March high season

Good for

• Families

Families with kids — the kids' club, multiple pools, and family-configured rooms are built around traveling with children, and the beach is right across the road.

Why we like it

• Six pools spread across the property, including a kids' pool, so there's rarely a wait for space
• A dedicated kids' club with supervised activities, useful for a break during the day
• Set at the quieter, northern end of Patong Beach, an easy walk from the sand
• Multiple restaurants on-site, handy for a family that doesn't want to go out for every meal

What to know

• A large resort with hundreds of rooms, so it can feel busy around the pools during school holidays
• The northern end of Patong is quieter than the central strip, so it's a longer walk to Bangla Road
