Set against a backdrop of the beautiful white sands and blue waters of Bang Tao Beach, Rydges Beach Resort, Phuket is a unique tropical haven, offering a large range of leisure facilities and sightseeing activies, both on Phuket Island and on the Andaman Sea. Just 20 minutes from the airport and 25 minutes from the buzz of Patong, the resort is nestled amidst coconut palms and casuarina trees, on 200 meters of absolute beachfront. The resort's magnificent array of activities, together with its quality accommodations and wide choice of restaurants and bars, allows guests to tailor make their holiday-relax on the beach or around one of the resort's two sensational pools, sample the local culture or explore the beautiful surrounding areas.
The resort underwent a major upgrade in December 2000. The original rooms have been refurbished, and the brand new deluxe wing is comprised of large and beautifully appointed guest rooms. All rooms feature a private balcony, mini bar, refrigerator, bathrobes and slippers as well as bathroom with bath and shower. Other facilities of the resort include a gift shop and drug store, a salon and Phuket Island's only duty free store outside the airport. Daily scheduled shuttle buses operate between the resort and Phuket Town and Patong.
