Property Overview

Le Méridien Phuket Beach Resort occupies a secluded cove on Phuket’s western coast, with direct access to Karon Noi Beach and the Andaman Sea. Despite its private coastal setting, the resort remains only a short drive from Patong’s restaurants, shops and nightlife.

The property has 416 rooms and 54 suites, many of which overlook the sea, swimming pools or tropical grounds. Thai design influences appear throughout the accommodation, while the extensive leisure facilities allow guests to divide their time between the beach, two large outdoor pools, sports and organised activities.

Ten restaurants and bars offer a broad choice of international dining, from Italian dishes at Portofino to sushi and teppanyaki at Ariake. Le Spa, a 24-hour fitness centre, children’s recreation and facilities for both land and water activities complete the resort’s wide-ranging offering.

TONSON RESTAURANT & BAR

Tonson Restaurant & Bar overlooks the swimming pool and offers casual meals, snacks and drinks. Its outdoor setting makes it convenient for guests spending the day between the pool and beach.

PORTOFINO

Portofino specialises in Italian cuisine, including handmade pasta and traditional dishes served in a more intimate evening setting. The restaurant received recognition in the Wine Spectator Restaurant Awards in 2024.

LA FIAMMA

La Fiamma serves freshly prepared Italian pizzas in an open-air setting near the beach. It is suited to informal lunches or a break between swimming and other daytime activities.

BEACH BBQ

Beach BBQ focuses on grilled meats, seafood and salads served beside the sand. The location allows guests to remain close to the sea while enjoying a casual outdoor lunch.

Other choices include Japanese sushi and teppanyaki at Ariake, drinks and light refreshments at the resort’s bars, gelato and sorbet from Le Scoop, and 24-hour in-room dining.

Experiences

The resort’s secluded coastal position makes it particularly suitable for travelers who prefer spending much of their holiday on the property. Guests can alternate between the beach, water activities and a broad programme of sports without needing to organise daily transport elsewhere.

NINE-HOLE MINI GOLF

The nine-hole miniature golf course runs through the tropical gardens and overlooks the beach. Equipment can be hired at the resort, making it an easy activity for families and groups.

LE FITNESS

Le Fitness is open 24 hours a day and provides cardio machines, free weights and strength-training equipment. Complimentary fitness classes are also scheduled daily, while sauna and steam-room facilities are available within the centre.

SWIMMING

The resort has a free-form outdoor pool, a lagoon pool and separate areas intended for children. Towels are provided, and lifeguards supervise the main swimming areas during operating hours.

LAND AND WATER ACTIVITIES

Recreational facilities include snorkeling, scuba diving, watercraft hire, table tennis and a driving range. Guests can also use the game room or join activities arranged through the resort’s recreation team.

LOCAL EXPLORATION

Patong is approximately five kilometres away and provides a change of pace through its restaurants, shopping and nightlife. Wider excursions can also include Phuket’s temples, limestone caves and diving areas around the Andaman Sea.

SPA & Wellness

Le Spa offers massages and body treatments in private rooms surrounded by the resort’s tropical grounds. Its treatment menu includes body scrubs, wraps, facials, massages and therapy baths, with advance appointments recommended.

The spa provides a quieter counterpoint to the resort’s active facilities and can be incorporated into either a full day of relaxation or an evening after time spent at the beach. Its current official treatment list is more focused than the extensive selection previously published.

Wellness facilities also extend to Le Fitness, which remains open around the clock. Guests have access to cardio and strength equipment, daily complimentary classes, locker rooms, saunas and steam rooms.
