Nai Thon Beach
Nai Thon is a beautiful stretch of sand that for reasons unknown has still been overlooked by large resort developers. Thus it's an ideal spot to get away from the crowds and enjoy a quiet swim.
It's a village of two seasons, during the high season the hotels fill up, the sea is flat, calm and crystal clear, beach restaurants appear where you can dine with your bare feet in the sand, very much a stereotypical tropical paradise. In low season the boot's on the other foot, it's almost a ghost town with an occasionally raging sea.
The journey to the beach is almost more enjoyable than the beach itself. On the southern approach to Nai Thon, the narrow road leads through some of the island's last remaining virgin jungle, and winds along a coastline that rivals Cote d'Azur in its brilliant beauty. If driving to Nai Thon from the north, the road takes you through a village then into a lush green valley before reaching the beach.
Activities to be enjoyed whilst staying here include exploring rocky coves only accessible by longtail boat and scuba diving which can be arranged by the dive shop on the Beach Road.

The Beach (our guide for beach lovers)
Some locals claim that Nai Thon is the most beautiful beach in Phuket. It certainly has a compact charm, at just 700 metres long. Being lined with casuarina trees, it's shady, too which is great for beach dining in high season.
Many people confuse Nai Thorn Beach, that's 600m further south, with Nai Thon. Access to Nai Thorn is only via Andaman White Beach Resort or longtail
Nai Thon Beach Dining & Nightlife
You're not going to knock yourself out with Nai Thon's nightlife as
there are just five independent restaurants and a couple of bars. During the day in high season you can dine on the beach itself. For a special diner, try the 'Mareblue Corner' at Andaman White Beach Resort or enjoy amazing sunsets at Trisara, a unique 5 star resort.
