Where to stay in
Bang Tao–Laguna

Bang Tao is a roughly 6-kilometre stretch of sand on the island's north-west coast, much of it occupied by the Laguna Phuket complex — a cluster of branded resorts wrapped around lagoons and an 18-hole golf course. The surrounding Cherngtalay area adds well-known beach clubs, beachfront restaurants, and the Boat Avenue and Porto de Phuket lifestyle malls for walking, eating and shopping. The real draw is the calm resort atmosphere, an uncrowded beach, and a deep choice of mid-range to luxury stays. It works well for families, honeymooners and golfers. The trade-off is quiet nights and a 30–40 minute drive to Patong or the Old Town.

FAQ

Who is Bang Tao–Laguna best for?

It suits families, honeymooners and golfers who want a calm beachfront resort away from the buzz of Patong. The area has a long, uncrowded beach, beach clubs and lifestyle malls for eating and shopping. If you want lively nightlife or to walk to lots of bars and shops, Patong is a better match.

How far is Bang Tao from the airport and Patong?

Phuket airport is fairly close, about a 20–25 minute drive, which makes arrivals and departures easy. Patong and the Old Town are further, roughly 30–40 minutes by car depending on traffic. There's no real public transport in the area, so most people use taxis, ride-hailing apps or a rental car.

How is staying inside the Laguna complex different from the resorts around it?

Hotels in the Laguna group (such as Banyan Tree, Angsana, Dusit Thani, SAii and Cassia) sit around the same shared lagoons and golf course, and guests can often use some facilities across properties, with internal shuttle boats and buggies. Resorts like Best Western and Mövenpick are on Bang Tao Beach itself, just outside the complex, with direct access to the sand. Choose Laguna for golf and full shared facilities; choose the outer beachfront resorts for direct beach access and lower prices.
