Best 8 Low Cost Hotels in Bang Tao
Bang Tao runs eight kilometres and the Laguna estate takes the middle of it, which leaves the cheaper end at either extreme where the land is open.
Eight below, all within a short walk or ride of the sand.
Bangtao Village Resort
Private cottages in tropical gardens five minutes on foot from Bangtao Bay, with an outdoor pool and massage on site.
A restaurant runs indoor and al fresco service across local and international dishes, and water sports are arranged from the property. Quiet position, thirty minutes from the airport.
Couples and families wanting a cottage and a garden rather than a hotel floor.
Chabana Resort Bang Tao
Ten minutes on foot from Bang Tao Beach with free WiFi throughout and a mini-bar restocked daily.
Air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen cable. Twenty minutes from the airport, which is among the shorter transfers on this coast.
Independent travellers wanting Bang Tao at the lower end of the range.
Casuarina Shores Apartment
One hundred and eighty metres from the centre of Bang Tao Beach, with two large outdoor pools and two children’s pools between the blocks.
Units carry a living room, fully equipped kitchen and dining area, with flat-screen cable, safe and a washing machine. Twenty-four hour security on the gate. Couples rate the location 9.0.
Families and longer stays who want a kitchen and the beach within a few minutes.
Bangtao Beach Chalet Resort
Chalets rather than corridors, spread through tropical planting five minutes on foot from Bangtao Bay. Two pools and a rooftop deck.
Both Bang Tao and Surin are walkable, with the Cherngtalay shops between them. A damage deposit of 1,500 baht is taken in cash on arrival.
Longer stays and anyone who would rather have a chalet and a garden than a hotel floor.
Baan Armeen Cottage
Four private cottages and two superior rooms in a tropical garden off Srisoonthorn Road in Cherngtalay, rated 9.2 across more than 230 reviews. Small enough that the owners know who is staying.
Rooms carry air conditioning, minibar, flat-screen television, safe and a desk, with daily housekeeping. Bicycles are available and there is a picnic area in the garden. Boat Avenue and the Cherngtalay restaurants sit close by.
Couples and independent travellers who want a garden rather than a corridor.
Amora Beach Resort Phuket
Directly on Bang Tao sand with a private beachfront area and sunloungers of its own, which on a beach eight kilometres long is worth having.
Swimming pools with a pool bar, a kids’ club, spa and fitness centre. Rooms carry private balconies over the garden or the pool.
Families wanting a beach section to themselves without estate pricing.
Mövenpick Resort Bangtao Beach Phuket
Bang Tao’s eight kilometres of sand start here, and the resort takes a broad slice of the southern end within walking distance of Boat Avenue.
Accor runs it under the Mövenpick brand, and a 400 kW rooftop solar array went live in July 2025. Rooms are large and family categories plentiful.
Families, and anyone wanting Cherngtalay dining within reach of the room.
Cassia Phuket
Part of the Banyan Group and pitched at long stays rather than a week. Every suite runs a separate bedroom, a living area, a private balcony and a fully equipped kitchen.
Outdoor pool with sea views, and the free Laguna shuttle connects it across the estate. That shuttle runs inside the complex only.
For self-catering stays and anyone settling in for a month rather than a week.
Booking notes
Boat Avenue and the Cherngtalay restaurants sit at the southern end and change what a cheap room here is worth, because the eating is a short walk rather than a taxi. Green season through October brings the softest rates. Bang Tao stays wide even at high tide, which makes it the better family beach on this coast.
