The Hotspring Beach Resort and Spa

4.5(1,404 reviews)

Set along a quiet stretch of coastline in Thai Mueang district, Phang Nga province, this beachfront resort and spa draws visitors with an unusual pairing: natural thermal hot spring waters combined with direct beach access and swimming pools. The integration of hot springs into a seaside setting is the property's defining feature, making it a popular choice for those seeking a wellness-focused alternative to the busier resort areas further south. Guests consistently describe the atmosphere as genuinely peaceful, with spacious grounds, surrounding nature, and birdsong that contribute to a strong sense of escape. The pools are well-suited to families with children, and the food receives positive mentions overall — particularly the cuisine at the beachside restaurant, which adds a scenic option for meals. Breakfasts are noted as good but lacking in variety, and the property avoids feeling overcrowded despite its size. Families dining with very young children should note that high chair availability has been raised as an issue by at least one visitor, so it is worth raising this in advance. Good to know: The resort sits roughly an hour's drive from central Phuket in a relatively remote part of Thai Mueang district, so arranging private transport or a pre-booked transfer is strongly recommended. No website is currently listed in this directory, so contacting the resort directly before visiting is advisable to confirm current pricing, day-use availability, and access to the hot spring and spa facilities.

Absolutely lovely! We'd usually opt for the cheapest budget room we can find but decided to treat ourselves on our first night for getting over the jet lag, and by check out time the following morning decided to book a second night! The room was clean, comfy, secure, beautiful views, good shower, good air con, nice selection of toiletries provided. The pools were the best bit, very pretty and laid out so that even at the busiest times you weren't surrounded by / looking at too many other people. There are two hot spring pools at between 42-46° temperature, a large "normal" pool with access to pool bar (though no one was drinking / partying loudly and it was very relaxing) and a cool pool of apparently 16° which we weren't brave enough to try! The scenery and gardens were absolutely beautiful and well cared for. Lots of room to explore including the river and beach. The restaurants were all pretty and the food was delicious, even if it was overly priced in comparison with other more budget areas (2-5x more expensive depending where you go). Breakfast included with the room was an excellent selection, everything you could want for breakfast. And of course the staff were all lovely, they're the ones keeping things going and making it a great experience for everyone, thank you

This hotel is absolutely beautiful. The swimming pools and hot springs are fantastic, and the cuisine is outstanding. Breakfasts were good, although they could be a bit more varied. What truly captured my heart was the wild beach just a 5-minute walk from the hotel — absolutely stunning. The staff was very kind and helpful; their English was limited, but communication was still manageable. During the Christmas holidays, the hotel organized a jazz concert, which was a lovely and unexpected touch. The spa is excellent. I truly regret not spending more time here with my family. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately, we had a very negative experience at this restaurant. First of all, we couldn’t properly have dinner with our friends at this seaside restaurant because they didn’t have a high chair for our baby. For a place that welcomes families, not having even a single baby chair is unacceptable. There was simply nowhere safe to seat our child. Secondly, the service was extremely poor. One of the drinks we ordered was never brought to us — they completely forgot about it. The waiters were very slow and had poor English, which made communication difficult. We waited about 40 minutes for our food while the restaurant was practically empty. That is absolutely unreasonable. We are very disappointed. We will not be coming back and cannot recommend this place.

Book Shoulder Season

Compare OTAs and Direct Rates

Always check the hotel's own website after finding a rate on Agoda or Booking.com. Many Thai properties offer a best-rate guarantee or throw in perks like free breakfast when you book direct.

Pool Villa Doesn't Mean Expensive

Private pool villas in Krabi, Hua Hin, and Chiang Mai start around 2,500–4,000 THB/night — a fraction of Bali or Maldives prices. Search specifically for 'pool villa' to surface hidden gems.
