The Front Village  

Set at the heart of Karon Beach, just across the coastal road (about 200 m) and a one-minute drive to the sand. Perched between Kata and Patong, the hotel offers sweeping beach views and fast access to Karon centre’s shops, bars and nightlife. Patong is about 10 minutes away, Phuket Town around 30 minutes, and the airport roughly 45 minutes by car.

A boutique-sized stay with roughly 70 rooms spread over a few floors, built around 2000 and surrounded by lush gardens and terraces.
