Baan Karon Resort, on the heights of the bay

Baan Karon Resort sits on a hillside overlooking Karon Bay, on the western side of Phuket. The property embraces classic Siamese architecture: steep rooflines, dark wood, pavilions arranged around lush tropical gardens. The elevated position commands views of the bay and the Andaman Sea, just a short walk from Karon Beach and the waterfront's dining venues.

• A hilltop setting with views across Karon Bay and the Andaman Sea

Ambiance and architecture

The resort fully embraces a Thai identity. Buildings feature classic Siamese architecture, with low-pitched rooflines, sloped roofs and traditional materials. Tropical gardens punctuate the property and provide natural cooling during the day. The atmosphere remains peaceful despite being near Karon Beach: the hilltop location shields the resort from the bustle of the waterfront while keeping the beach within easy walking distance.
