Best 8 Budget Hotels in Nai Harn
Seven of the eight hotels previously listed here no longer take a booking, which made this the worst-hit page on the site.
The south coast at the cheaper end trades distance for rate, and it works because Nai Harn, Rawai, Yanui and Ao Sane all sit within a few minutes of each other. Eight below, from a guest house to a resort on its own cove.
Naiharn On The Rock Resort
The front porch looks straight down Nai Harn bay, which is the whole reason to book it. Just off the beach and close to Ao Sane, with clean modern rooms, a pool and massage on site.
Free private parking and luggage storage, five minutes by road to Rawai. Rated across more than 460 reviews. Stairs run up to the rooms without railings, so it does not suit limited mobility.
For readers who want the bay view at a fraction of the beachfront rate.
Alphabeto Resort
Rawai side of Nai Harn, rated 8.4, with an outdoor pool and a 24-hour front desk. Rooms carry air conditioning, cable television and a private balcony.
Restaurant, massage and room service on site, plus free WiFi and parking. Rawai and Nai Harn beaches are around ten minutes by road.
Suits south-coast stays and travellers running their own transport.
Number 4 Phuket
Ten minutes on foot from Nai Harn Beach, which at this rate is the argument. Rooms are modern and comfortable with free WiFi throughout.
Each carries a refrigerator, flat-screen cable television and a microwave, with hot and cold shower in the private bathroom. Chalong Pier and Rawai both ten minutes by road.
For readers who want to walk to Nai Harn and spend the money elsewhere.
Tropical Sands
A guest house five minutes by road from Nai Harn Beach and ten from Rawai, with air-conditioned rooms and a private balcony on each.
Rooms carry a flat-screen cable television, safety deposit box and refrigerator, with a shower in the private bathroom. Free WiFi throughout.
Independent travellers running their own transport on the south coast.
Baan Krating Phuket Resort
Ao Sane is the small rocky cove past the end of Nai Harn, reached by a road that puts most people off, and this resort has most of it.
Snorkelling straight off the sand is why regulars return, and the bar is angled at the sunset. Couples rate it 8.6 across more than 870 reviews.
For readers who want the south coast quiet and do not mind a road to get there.
Sunsuri Phuket
Hillside above the south coast, 500 metres back from Nai Harn Beach, with rooms stacked so the balconies clear each other.
Two pools and a waterslide handle the family side, a complimentary shuttle runs down to the beach in minutes, and the spa covers deep tissue and aromatherapy.
Families and couples wanting the south coast and a hillside outlook.
Saiyuan Estate by TropicLook
A secured estate ten minutes by road from Nai Harn, with self-catering villas each holding a private pool.
Villas are fully furnished with an indoor living area, sofa, flat-screen and dining table, and a modern kitchen carrying an oven and washing machine. Cleaning every third day is included rather than charged.
For longer stays and families who want a gate, a kitchen and no daily housekeeping in the way.
By The Lake Villas
Five-star villas eight hundred metres back from Nai Harn Beach, each with a private pool and a well-equipped kitchen. Floor-to-ceiling windows, a rooftop patio and a large dining area in every one.
A shuttle runs to both Nai Harn and Rawai, which removes the one real objection to staying inland on this coast. Free WiFi and parking, with bathtubs in the private bathrooms.
Families and groups who want a villa with hotel service attached.
Booking notes
Rates on the south coast run below the west coast for comparable standard, and green season through October takes them lower again. A scooter changes what this area offers, because the four beaches within reach are each quite different and none are walkable from the others. Nai Harn empties out after the day visitors leave in the late afternoon.
