I spent three nights at Thavorn Beach Village Resort & Spa in Phuket, and it was a truly relaxing experience.
The resort is tucked away on a private stretch of Nakalay Bay, located between Patong and Kamala, which makes it a convenient spot if you want a peaceful setting that’s still close to more lively areas. The surroundings are scenic, and the location worked well as a relaxing place to stay while having access to explore other parts of the island.
We stayed in one of the resort’s Beachfront Cottage Rooms, which offered a comfortable stay with beautiful ocean views.
The room was incredibly spacious, with high ceilings, charming Thai-style decor, and sliding doors that opened directly onto the beach. Stepping out onto the private terrace each morning, with the ocean just a few feet away, felt like a dream. The bed was comfortable, the air-conditioning worked flawlessly (which was necessary in the April heat), and the room was well-maintained throughout our stay. A special thank you to Gift, our housekeeper.
One of the standout features of Thavorn Beach Village is its lush, tropical landscaping. The resort boasts beautifully maintained gardens with Thai statues, koi ponds, and plenty of spots to sit and soak in the views.
The lagoon-style pool is absolutely stunning. It’s massive—one of the largest in Southeast Asia—and winds through the resort like a tropical river. We spent hours lounging poolside, and it never felt overcrowded. The pool also has a swim up bar and daily happy hour specials. I enjoyed a fresh young coconut in the pool.
The private beach was also a highlight. While the tide goes out during part of the day (making it more rocky in some areas), the views are still amazing, and the sunsets were magical. It’s also great for kayaking or just strolling along the shore.
Breakfast each morning was excellent. The buffet offered a wide range of both Western and Asian options—fresh fruit, pastries, eggs made to order and local Thai dishes. We appreciated the wide variety of juices and the beautiful open-air dining space overlooking the pool and gardens.
Lunch at the Crocodile Bar & Grill was relaxed, with the restaurant located right on the beach. I had a fresh mango smoothie and a Caesar salad, while for dinner, we enjoyed cocktails along with a burger and chips each.
The Thai Sala Bakery is open daily and is the perfect place for a fresh juice, a coffee or ice cream. It is located right next to the pool.
The resort also offers an unforgettable private dining experience right on the beach, perfect for a romantic evening or special celebration.
Throughout our stay, the staff were polite and helpful. Check-in was smooth, and we were given a welcome drink upon arrival. A special thank you to Mercedes who looked after us at the front desk.
Overall, Thavorn Beach Village Resort & Spa is an excellent choice for travelers looking for a peaceful beachfront escape in Phuket.
The combination of beautiful natural surroundings, comfortable accommodations, and warm hospitality made our stay memorable. Whether you’re visiting with family, a partner, or even on a solo retreat, this resort offers an ideal setting to unwind, recharge, and enjoy the beauty of Thailand.
