Nai Yang Beach Hotels & Resorts

Beachside picnics in the shade, vendors selling a range of Thai delicacies and the classic combination of soft sand and warm waters; Nai Yang is simply a stunning location. Most people might expect the best beaches on Phuket to be down south but Nai Yang, like a few others nearby, is actually situated on the North West coast not too far from the airport.

As a destination that is very popular with Thai tourists and locals, Nai Yang comes with a lot of bonuses. The best of these bonuses is undoubtedly the presence of delicious Thai food being sold by vendors on the beach and on the main road set back from sand. All manner of delicious Thai snacks can be bought and eaten on the beach like a picnic. There is plenty of shade to keep you out of the sun and the Causarina trees on Nai Yang create wonderful areas of natural shade, perfect for sitting and relaxing with friends and family. The beach is as you would expect any Thai beach to be—paradisiacal white sand and tranquil waters. There are a few luxury Nai Yang resorts to choose from but also some alternative Nai Yang hotels for those on a budget.

Areas of the beach are part of Sirinat National Park and this helps keep development and mass tourism to a minimum. Spend a day in the National Park and follow the nature trail or visit the mangrove forest. Or, for those after an adrenaline rush, Nai Yang is also ideal for kite surfing.
