Location

Hotels in Bang Tao

Banyan Tree Phuket sits within Laguna Phuket in Bang Tao, with landscaped grounds and a lagoon setting. Bang Tao Beach is 400 m away, so you can walk from the villas to the coast. This stretch of Phuket’s west coast is known for its long sandy beach, while the resort grounds bring villas, dining and leisure facilities together away from a town street. Ao Bang Thao, 2 km away, is another coastal point to explore.

Phuket International Airport is 10.3 km from the resort, and the drive takes about 20 minutes. An airport shuttle is available, and free private parking is provided on site if you arrive by car. Tell the resort your expected arrival time in advance; check-in begins at 15:00. Road access is along Srisoonthorn Road in Cherngtalay, leading into the Laguna Phuket complex.

For a round of golf, Laguna Golf Phuket is 450 m away. Friday Night Market is 2.2 km away, and Porto de Phuket is 2.3 km away for shopping and dining. Layan National Park, 2.2 km away, gives you another outdoor destination beyond the beach. The nearby markets and park make it easy to mix a coastal visit with time around Choeng Thale, while the resort’s own restaurants and spa facilities offer options close to your villa.
