Hotels near Karon Beach

Karon Beach is one of Phuket's famed beaches which stretches for kilometres down the coast ensuring it never gets uncomfortably busy. It is ideal for families looking for a nice break with plenty of nearby conveniences but it also caters for all other kinds of travellers too.

When creating a checklist of things you would expect and hope to see on a Thai beach, Karon would probably tick most of those boxes. The beach is home to the usual array of soft sand, tropical palms, water sports, massages being offered beachside as well as vendors selling this, that and everything. We offer plenty of Karon Beach hotels within walking distance of the ocean and within walking distance of that tan you've been thinking about going home with. However, if you're after a bit of respite from the sun or you're looking a bit red from the day before then a great place to spend an afternoon is Karon Market. This is a classic Thai food market with all kinds of fresh, fragrant and occasionally unusual produce and for anyone with an interest in food it's a great introduction to the essence of Phuket cuisine. Another afternoon activity suited to the family is Dino's Park Mini Golf which is great fun as long as tempers don't begin to fray when losing is on the cards.

After the day is done, tourists emerge from their Karon hotels looking for food and entertainment and the area does not disappoint. A range of European restaurants exist along the roads set back from the beach but for the best grub we would recommended checking out any of the Thai seafood restaurants on offer. Karon has its fair share of pubs, bars and go-go bars but they are not in the same league as those in Patong and this generally makes a night time stroll from your Karon hotel a bit more pleasant and a lot more suitable for families.
