Banana Beach

Banana Beach – laid-back beach with a somewhat remote location in northwest Phuket. Visitors must walk down a steep hill to reach the beach. The road behind the beach is about 70 meters (77 yd.) away. There is a beach bar that is sometimes closed during the day, and when it is open some people complain that the prices are high. A huge positive is that very few people are usually here at this beach – it’s never crowded. Some people call this the most beautiful beach on the island of Phuket.

Banana Beach Accommodations
  • Trisara

    Trisara is a 5-star hotel located on the hill on the South end of Banana Beach between Banana Beach and Trisara Beach. Their villas are over Trisara Beach, but this is still a convenient place to stay if you also want to drop by Banana Beach during your stay.

    Reviews were overall positive, but with many guests complaining about the service. Welcome to Thailand! It is quite hard to get service staff for a 5-star resort on this island, or anywhere except maybe Bangkok. When paying the high rates asked, guests expect the best and most competent service. It’s something that isn’t just an issue here, but all over Phuket at high-end resorts.

    Trisara rates in the low season begin around 30,000-34,000 THB online.

  • Villa Praison

    Villa Praison has luxury villas with 5 bedrooms, 5 1/2 baths, and enough beds for 8 people plus optional guest beds to accommodate more in your party.

    Their location is just 100 meters past the south end of Banana Beach, up on the hill near Trisara Resort. They appear to have no Google Business reviews at all. The villas are stunning, I’m sure the service and food will be fine here for anyone considering it. There are no villa rates online that I can find, expect 5-star villa rates.
