Bang Tao: long beach, few hotels
Bang
Tao Beach
– home of the famous
Laguna Phuket complex of five
integrated resorts – and a few other options
LAGUNA PHUKET
The Laguna Phuket complex of five hotels is
one of the most notable, and famous, resorts on Phuket. It has won
numerous international awards, particularly for environmentally friendly
development, for before the developers arrived this was a wasteland
devastated by years of destructive tin mining.

Laguna claims their integrated concept - guests
from the five resorts can enjoy all facilities in all resorts, and even
sign all payments back to their own rooms – is a first in Asia. Certainly
a guest in any one of these resorts gains access to a far greater range of
activities, restaurants and locations than is available in any other,
single resort.
One of the outstanding features here is the network of lagoons that
reaches each resort, allowing water transport throughout the entire
complex. A free ferry service shuttles back and forth, and even outside
visitors can jump aboard for a look through this unique place. And the
five establishments here have a huge amount of space, most of it green or
sand. Lining the back is the Banyan Tree golf course, while along the
entire front is the beautiful vista of a five-kilometre long beach and the
Andaman Sea.

addition to the above resorts, one other fine resort and three sets of
bungalows are found on Bang Tao Beach, all to the south of Laguna. The
resort is Rydges Royal Park Beach Resort, a four-star, low-rise
establishment which also has the luxury of wide, park-like grounds, making
it ideal for families. Children love the wide open spaces leading directly
from the rooms to the beach.

Bungalows at the
South End
Further south again are three sets of bungalows set in the shade of dense
trees by the beach. This entire area is particularly spacious and quiet,
with a small fishing village a little further down the beach. The oldest,
largest and best located of the three is the Bang Tao Lagoon Bungalow,
while the newer ones are
Bangtao Beach Chalet,
Bangtao Beach Cottage, and
The Natural Place Resort.
