The 40-room Moevenpick Resort
Bangtao Beach Phuket is an upscale boutique resort a two-minute walk from Bangtao
Bay beach. The Moevenpick offers a large infinity pool with a sunken hot tub, a fitness center, and a full-service spa, as well as a kids' club so parents can
take a break. The rooms and suites at the resort are enormous, most with with full
kitchens, balconies with garden or lagoon views, and luxurious bathrooms; some suites
have private pools and outdoor hot tubs. However, the resort can feel isolated -- especially for guests without cars -- as there's not much to do in the immediate area beyond going to the beach.
Scene
A peaceful, private, out-of-the-way family resort popular with families
The Moevenpick Resort Bangtao Beach Phuket
is a small, private-feeling condo resort that's a good bet for families with children. It's located at a considerable distance from the seedier areas of Phuket
and Patong, and families have access to the quiet white-sand Bangtao Beach and the
peaceful grounds, which never feel crowded. The architecture and decor are
understated and calm, in cream stucco and dark wood with cool pointed red-tile
roofs that add a picturesque Thai aura to the property. There are fresh tropical
flowers everywhere, and orchids garnish fruit baskets and soap dishes. The
artwork and sculptures found in the common areas and rooms are Thai, and
the menu in the on-site restaurant features authentic local cuisine. This is not the
flashiest resort, but there are plenty of on-site activities, and the food
is delicious and plentiful.
Location
In a quieter area of Phuket, within a 20-minute drive of many tourist sites
The Moevenpick Resort Bangtao Beach Phuket
is located just outside the fishing and farming village of Cherng Talay, where
guests can visit local temples and quality restaurants. Bangtao Beach is a two-minute walk from the hotel and there are excellent golf courses within a five-minute drive of the gate. Patong Beach and the Phuket Big Buddha are both
20 minutes by car, as are the Phuket FantaSea Theme Park, the Jungceylon
Shopping Mall, and Patong’s nightlife scene. The Moevenpick offers free parking,
and a rental car is recommended as there's not a whole lot within walking distance. The Phuket Airport is a 20-minute drive away.

Huge, airy rooms, most with full-sized kitchens and beautiful private balconies
The Moevenpick Resort Bangtao Beach Phuket
