BYD Lofts is a hotel of serviced apartments about 300 meters from Patong Beach, and its suites are full apartments, each with a private balcony and a kitchen that has its own espresso machine. Paintings and sculpture hang through the buildings, a link to the hotel's past work with local art galleries. Brasserie C'est La Vie cooks Thai and French food, and one of the two pools is on the roof.

Avista Hideaway sits in the hills above Patong, far enough from the beach road to be quiet, with views over the hills to the sea. Many of its suites have a whirlpool bath, and some add a private plunge pool. Sunset is the hour for Sizzle, the rooftop restaurant facing the sea, and Tambu, the other rooftop restaurant, serves Indian food in a setting styled after the tents of the Mughal emperors.

“Three lovely pools, lots of great spots to relax”
a Google reviewer
The resort sits on a quiet cove of white sand in thick tropical gardens. Children get a water playground with slides and spray jets, a kids club run by dedicated staff, and a family pool near the Nahm Tok pool with its waterfall. Rooms are spacious, with warm wood, turquoise accents and big balconies, and The Rum Shack bar sits on the sand.
