Bang Tao Beach Is
a 8 km long sweeping crescent shaped bay with a gentle slope and absolutely pure
white sand and is fringed with rows of casuarina trees. The constant but gentle
breeze on this bay has made Bangtao Beach very popular with windsurfers and it
plays host to several international competitions each year. The main entrance
to Bangtao beach is 2 km north of Surin Village and marked with large signs from
the sprawling Laguna Phuket complex that takes up most of the middle of the bay.
This remarkable complex of five luxury resort hotels integrated
into one into what appears to be small city by the sea.
The
Banyan Tree Phuket,
The Allamanda,
Dusit
Laguna, and the Sheraton
Phuket all employ the same low rise village style architecture that are uniquely
designed to blend with the vastness of the old tin mine which is what this area
used to be. The old tin mining lake is now a beautifully landscaped lagoon that
serves as a watersports center.  This
is a classic example of the modern one-stop all-inclusive tourist location. Your
entire holiday can be spent here without leaving the complex. Guests can charge
their meals to their hotel rooms at any of the 28 restaurants and bars throughout
the complex. The adjourning Banyan Tree Golf Club course, the beach, blooming
flowers everywhere, rock gardens, manmade waterfalls everything is tastefully
designed and organized to give their guests a serene and happy environment for
their carefree holiday. As Bangtao Beach is 40 minutes from town and the restaurants
and entertainment centers on the island most of the guests staying here have bought
themselves a package deal from their travel agents.
Unless you are interested
in windsurfing we usually route the beach safari to Naithon
Beach as the next north stop or Surin Beach
to the South.
Laguna Phuket Resort group comprises: Laguna Beach Resort Phuket, Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket, Sheraton Grande Laguna Phuket, Allamanda Laguna Phuket and Laguna Holiday Club.
