Bang Tao is a large open bay with one of Phuket's longest beaches. The Laguna Phuket complex, containing five luxury hotels and an 18-hole golf course, dominates a large area of Bang Tao. However, it is not difficult to find a quiet spot to enjoy the crystal clear water and stunning white sand.

The southern end of the beach is more developed and is where most of the accommodation is located, so if you want the beach to yourself, walk to the northern end where its much quieter.

At the middle of the beach are five luxuries hotels set around six picturesque lagoons. With facilities including an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, spa, water park and one of Asia's biggest swimming pool.

This is the best part of the very long Bang Tao Beach with several restaurants on the beach.
The laguna area is mostly very clean, unlike some other parts of the beach.

A visit to Bang Tao Beach should include the laguna area.

The northern end of the beach is very quiet with a small restaurant on the beach.
Together with a few sunbeds this is a good spot to get away from the crowd so long you don't mind that only the beach along the restaurant is cleaned. You find the restaurant at Soi Layan 2.

There are a number of shops, restaurants and bars near the entrance to Laguna Phuket, as well as those within the resort complex. The nearby town of Cherng Talay has a few shops as well as a fresh market. Canal Village within Laguna Phuket comprises about 30 shops, mostly selling handicrafts and clothing items.

The Laguna Phuket resort complex as it dominates a large area of Bang Tao. However, there are many resorts outside of the Laguna, as well as a few small hotels between Bang Tao and Surin beach to choose from.

There is an huge array of facilities available at the Laguna Resort available to guests staying at any of the five hotels, including many that cater specially to children. As well as an 18-hole golf course, there is a driving range, elephant trekking, horseback riding, rock-climbing to name but a few activities. A number of the facilities are also open to non-guests.

If you feel like pampering yourself silly, there are five spas within the Laguna complex to choose from. Each offers a bewildering array of massages and body and facial treatments. You could easily spend your whole holiday in one of these spas.
