1. Sweet and secluded bliss – Deevana Patong Resort & Spa

The Deevana Patong Resort & Spa is located just 10 minutes from the beach but is quiet enough to make you feel like you are in your own private paradise. Don’t worry though, if you want to enjoy the bustle of the town (Jungceylon Mall/Bangla Road area) then the shuttle bus will have you there in minutes.

It’s hard to decide our favourite thing about this resort, the beautiful and tranquil gardens or the attentive staff – maybe the best thing is that you get them both!

As you wander through the gardens, admiring the towering sunflowers and palm trees you will discover the three swimming pools. Pick a quiet spot for an afternoon nap or swim up to the pool bar if you want to get the party started.

Deevana Patong Resort & Spa is the perfect blend of traditional and modern with authentic, dark wood buildings and fresh, bright interiors. (We like the special touches at the Deevana Patong Resort & Spa, check out the towel art!)

Make the most of your exotic surroundings with a garden view room (there’s even one with a private jacuzzi, pure bliss!) You don’t have to go far for great food and coffee at the funky on site cafe.

PS: There’s a great onsite spa if you’d love some extra pampering!

The living wall of plants on the rooftop terrace will make you forget that you are so close to the busy nightlife of Bangla road, just a few minutes away.

If you want your own slice of luxury then an Emerald Terrace studio apartment is for you. A beautiful room with bathroom, kitchenette, living area and balcony – perfect for longer stays.

A kitchenette fully stocked with utensils means you can cook whenever you want, but there are still plenty of great food spots to try nearby.

Take in the sights and stretch your legs with a 15 minute walk to the beach – or just hop on the free shuttle bus!

6. Authentic and superior Thai experience – Nipa Resort

It might look like a beautiful temple from the outside but Nipa Resort is just the perfect example of traditional Thai luxury.

The Thai theme continues throughout the resort, with beautiful dark wood, traditional sculptures and some delicious Thai dishes in the restaurant.

The location is perfect for those wanting somewhere a little quieter yet still close enough to local amenities.

You will be so relaxed at Nipa Resort that you won’t want to walk anywhere, so take the shuttle to the beach or the centre of town for an adventure.

The spacious rooms and balconies all overlook the turquoise swimming pool, which is especially pretty when lit up at night.

Thailand is known for elephants but you don’t expect to see them squirting water into your swimming pool (don’t worry they aren’t real!).

To enjoy the full experience make sure that you try a spa treatment. Whether it’s a massage, or a nail treatment or just a session in the jacuzzi – you deserve a treat.

7. Shout out from the rooftops – The Paripas Resort

The Paripas Resort is a new hotel, bringing affordable luxury into the 21st century with a fresh, clean look.

The rooms are modern and well-designed with comfy seating and plenty of space to relax.

You don’t have to settle with just one swimming pool at Paripas Resort. Take a leisurely swim at ground level in the main pool and if you want to feel the heat then make your way to the rooftop.

The rooftop terrace is where it all happens – soak up the sun, enjoy the views and cool off in the infinity pool. If this isn’t luxury, then we don’t know what is.
