Best 8 Luxury Hotels in Patong
Patong’s top end sits almost entirely on the hills at either end of the bay rather than on the beach road, which is where the noise is. Kalim to the north and the Sea Pearl ridge to the south hold most of it.
Eight below, weighted toward the hillside because that is where the standard is.
Diamond Cliff Resort & Spa
Twenty acres of garden on the cliff above Patong, looking down over Kalim Beach and the Andaman. The distance from the beach road is the entire proposition.
Four restaurants, four bars and two pools across the grounds, with sunset views from the private balconies. Diamond Spa handles massage and beauty therapy. Rated across nearly 2,900 reviews.
For readers who want Patong within reach and a hillside between them and it.
Kalima Resort and Spa
Seven hundred metres from Kalim Beach on the northern edge, five minutes by road from both Patong and Kamala, which makes it a useful base for seeing the coast rather than one beach.
Outdoor pool, fitness centre, garden and terrace, with a restaurant, room service and a 24-hour front desk. A kids’ club and airport transfers come with it. Rated across more than 4,700 reviews.
Families who want Patong close but not underneath the window.
Wyndham Sea Pearl Resort Phuket
Fifteen acres of hillside above Patong, and 204 rooms arranged to keep the bay in view from most of them. Listed on older guides under its former Sea Pearl Villas name.
Eight pools across the terraces, private pool villas at the top end, and family suites through the middle. Patong sits below for anyone who wants it and far enough above for anyone who does not.
Families and couples wanting Patong access without Patong noise.
Four Points by Sheraton Patong Beach Resort
Direct beachfront with a rooftop pool above it, a separate kids’ pool, and a pool bar between them. Marriott standards behind the desk.
Fitness and yoga run through the week, and parking is free, which on Patong is worth noting. Rated across more than 5,000 reviews.
Families and couples wanting beachfront with a brand standard attached.
La Flora Resort Patong
On Patong Beach itself, with rooms that run noticeably larger than the norm on this stretch and a few carrying private pools.
Two outdoor pools, a spa and rooftop dining. Jungceylon and Bangla Road are both five minutes on foot, which is either the reason to book it or the reason not to.
For readers who want the beach and the centre in the same walk.
Courtyard by Marriott Patong Beach Resort
Four hundred and forty-five rooms and suites around four pool areas, two of them carrying swim-up bars and one a slide.
Five restaurants and bars on site and a 24-hour gym. Bangla Road is a few minutes’ walk, which the resort is positioned for rather than sheltered from.
Families and groups who want scale and a pool complex in the middle of Patong.
The Privilege Residence
Loft-format apartments above Kalim, running one, two and three bedrooms with full kitchenettes, dining areas and living rooms. Several carry a jacuzzi or plunge pool, and the views run across Patong Bay.
Building facilities cover an infinity pool, fitness centre, hot tub, sauna, steam room and a rooftop terrace. Kalim Beach is two minutes on foot, Patong Beach a five-minute drive.
Longer stays, families needing a kitchen, and groups splitting a larger unit.
Deevana Patong Resort & Spa
Tropical gardens with two pools and a spa, five minutes on foot from the sand and ten from Bangla, which puts it far enough back to sleep.
Dalah Cuisine runs all-day dining and a free shuttle covers the walk to the beach for anyone who would rather not. Rated 8.1 by recent guests.
Couples and families wanting a garden between them and the beach road.
Booking notes
Hillside properties here run below beachfront for comparable standard and nearly all operate a shuttle, so the view costs less than the sand. Green season through October is when the top of this market becomes reachable. Rooms facing away from Bangla are worth asking for specifically, whatever the property claims about soundproofing.
