Beaches in Phang Nga

Phang Nga is home to some of Thailand’s most alluring stretches of coastline, where soft sand, clear water and peaceful surroundings create an inviting escape from everyday life. This region north of Phuket combines scenic beauty with a gentle rhythm of local life, offering a coastal experience that remains wonderfully authentic.

Aleenta Phuket Phang Nga Resort and Spa sits proudly on Natai Beach, a quiet, unspoilt shoreline on the Andaman Sea. It forms a sanctuary for guests who appreciate space, privacy and meaningful connection with nature. The resort’s support for renewable energy, reductions in water use and waste, and its long-standing efforts to reduce single-use plastics reflect its commitment to protecting this remarkable coastline.

Phang Nga’s beaches offer something special for every traveller. From family-friendly shores to remote bays, and from lively beachfronts to island hideaways, the variety here makes it one of Thailand’s most rewarding coastal destinations.

Phang Nga’s Unspoilt Coastline

The coastline of Phang Nga stretches across peaceful bays, forest-fringed sands, and protected marine areas that remain rich in biodiversity. Visitors find a balance of calm spots for sunbathing and swimming, and livelier areas with small restaurants and local markets.

Many beaches remain naturally beautiful thanks to ongoing conservation efforts. Aleenta’s partnership with the Pure Blue Foundation and its bi-monthly beach clean-ups helps keep the shoreline pristine for both the local community and visiting guests.

• Natai Beach

Natai Beach is the jewel of this coastline and the home of Aleenta Phuket. Its long sweep of pale sand, low-rise setting and absence of crowds create an atmosphere defined by simplicity and space. The moderate waves make it ideal for swimming, long walks and scenic photography.

Sunsets here are particularly memorable, with warm colours reflecting across the gentle surf. Guests staying at Aleenta enjoy direct access to this peaceful shoreline, supported by the resort’s environmentally conscious operations, including reduced energy and water use and protection of local biodiversity.

• Khao Lak Beach

Khao Lak Beach offers broad sands framed by pine trees, coconut groves and weathered rocks. Known for calm swimming conditions, it presents an inviting setting for a day spent by the water. A visit to the nearby Chaopho Khao Lak Shrine adds a cultural moment to the beachfront experience.

• Bang Niang Beach

Bang Niang Beach is a welcoming choice for families and couples. The shallow water and soft sand provide a relaxed swimming area, and the long stretch of shoreline is ideal for barefoot strolls and seashell spotting after high tide.

Khuk Khak Beach offers a lively blend of resort surroundings and local character. The water is clear and inviting, and the long coastline is well-suited to those who enjoy long walks.
