Nai Thon Beach

Nai Thon Beach is ideally located on the northwestern coast of Phuket Island and is only a short five minutes drive from the Bismarck’s Paradise. Sparsely developed and surrounded by 300 meters high hills covered with a luxuriant jungle, the Nai Thon beach is one of the most peaceful and relaxing beach in Phuket. It happens to be our house beach and is the first beach south of Nai Yang Beach, which is another beach easily accessible and located nearby the Bismarcks Paradise. All in all, Nai Thon Beach is a very pleasant beach for those who wish to spend a serene tropical holiday in Phuket!

    Macarona Restaurant – This small restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating is on the South end of Nai Thon Beach, across the street from the beach. They have high ratings from past guests, and we’ve eaten here a number of times. The pizza isn’t going to compete with one of the Italian-owned restaurants like Phuket’s Little Roma, but it fills the belly. Pizza, pasta, Italian vegetable soup, meat and seafood dishes, and tasty desserts are all available at reasonable cost.
