Thoughtfully Designed for Modern Travelers
Ideally located in southern Phuket, Chalong Bay is known for its relaxed coastal lifestyle and deep connections to the local community. Guests can visit the iconic Wat Chalong, explore the colorful streets of Phuket Old Town with its distinctive Sino-Portuguese architecture, vibrant cafés and weekend markets, and savor fresh seafood in floating fishing house. The resort is just minutes from Chalong Pier, Phuket’s primary gateway to marine adventures, providing effortless access to some of the Andaman’s most idyllic destinations, including the Phi Phi Islands, Similan Islands, Coral Island, and Racha Island, perfect for world-class diving and snorkeling. On land, guests can easily explore Phuket’s most iconic beaches such as Patong, Kata, Karon, and Nai Harn, each offering its own distinctive character and atmosphere. Phuket International Airport is approximately 40 kilometers away.
Diverse Culinary Experiences and Leisure Facilities
Dining at Courtyard Phuket Chalong Bay Resort is centered around curated venues that complement the rhythm of the day. Palai Bistro, the resort’s all-day dining restaurant, serves classic European and Asian dishes alongside local Phuket flavors in a relaxed setting. Chalong Baking Company (CBCo) is an inviting all-day café offering handcrafted pastries, specialty coffees, ceremonial-grade matcha and a selection of healthy menu options designed for both relaxed moments and productive co-working, and the swim-up Splash Pool Bar elevates the poolside experience with refreshing drinks, light bites and stylish seating pods.
When guests are not exploring the island, they can unwind at the resort’s leisure facilities. Two outdoor swimming pools, including a main pool with sunbeds for laid-back afternoons under the Phuket sun, and a children’s pool located next to the Kids Club, provide perfect settings for both relaxation and family fun. The Fitness Center features modern equipment, steam rooms and locker facilities, allowing guests to maintain their routines and stay active throughout their stay.
