Not much within walking distance
The intimate but elegant Andaman White Beach Resort sits right on the beach in a secluded and quiet stretch of western Phuket. Rooms range from romantic sea-facing rooms to opulent suites, some with private pools. On-site dining options include a Thai restaurant with fresh seafood dishes and a more relaxed beachfront pizzeria. Dala Spa adds to the overall relaxed vibe of the resort, as does the semi-remote location without much to do in walking distance (aside from the beach). The waters off the hotel can be dangerous to swim in during the summer, but there is a long pool for guests who want to swim in the off-season.
Scene
Chic and romantic beachside property
Romance and luxury dominate at the Andaman White Beach Resort, a high-end property that's popular with vacationing couples who want somewhere quiet and peaceful. As the name suggests, the property sits right on a white sand beach overlooking the Andaman Sea. The semi-open lobby is chic yet cozy, with a small seating area and beamed ceilings. In the Thai style, purple orchids are laid out across common areas, which feature dark wood, red tiles, and rock gardens. While kids are welcome here, there isn't a kids' club or much for them to do aside from the beach and pool. Most guests are couples looking for a quiet retreat.
Location
In western Phuket, right on the coast
The property is located on the northern part of western Phuket, on a white sand beach. Jungle and the nearby beach of Nai Tharn, along with other upscale hotels, are the only nearby attractions. A lightly-trafficked road runs past the hotel leading along the hilly coastal road that used to be the old airport road. The airport is a 15-minute drive away. Parking at the resort is free.
Rooms
Luxurious sea-facing rooms and suites, some with private pools or whirlpools
The rooms at the Andaman White Beach Resort range from sea-facing rooms, some with whirlpool tubs, to suites with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and two living rooms, some with private pools. All units are decidedly luxurious and have private ocean-facing balconies. Amenities common to all rooms include electric kettles, free Wi-Fi, safes, cable flat-screen TVs, and CD and DVD players. Interiors feature dark wood furnishings and hardwood or tile floors as well as chic off-white linens and brown and white striped upholstery. Bathrooms are spacious and feature separate shower stalls and tiled sunken tubs. Honeymooners take note, past guests have complained that housekeeping ignores do not disturb signs.
Features
White sand beach, long swimming pool, spa, and variety of dining options
Guests of the Andaman White Beach Resort get direct access to a white-sand cove enclosed by rocky outcrops. The seas of the island's west coast can be dangerous during the low season (May-October); guests visiting during this time may prefer swimming in the long rounded pool set on a patio just above the beach. The pool is flanked on one side with lounge chairs and parasols; the Coconut Bar and Terrace has seating on the other side. Additional restaurants include a beachside pizzeria and Tom Yam Thai, an open-air restaurant situated above the pool that serves Thai dishes featuring locally caught fish. Breakfast buffet is included with the cost of a room. The fitness center has a variety of cardio and weight machines as well as free weights, and looks out over the pool. There's also a spa, Dala, offering massages, facials, scrubs, and beauty treatments. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property.
