 The
Laguna Resorts:
Phuket's Wonderland
Five
BangTao Beachside Resorts Create a Spectacular
Destination
Laguna
Phuket Golf Club, thirty restaurants and bars, a
shopping village, five of the best spas in the
country, and beautiful grounds create a setting you
won't want to leave. The complex hosts five
distinctly different, yet all first class resorts.
As an "integrated" resort complex, you can very
conveniently shop or eat or purchase anything
anywhere in the five resorts and have it billed back
to your room or villa. For just a bit of the
flavor of the area check out the
birdwatching
page - all shot within the Laguna Resorts area.
Just for
fun - cruise the resorts on the ferry boats that
shuttle guests around the five resorts via the
interconnecting lagoons. If Phuket had only the
Laguna Resorts - it would still be a great
destination. Links below will take you to the
photos and information pages.
Laguna Beach Resort
Dusit Laguna Resort
Sheraton Grande Laguna Phuket
Allamanda Laguna Phuket
Banyan Tree Resort and Spa
 Laguna Beach Resort
This
resort sits on the south end of the complex and has
the best swimming pool of them all - including a
giant slide (great if you are bringing kids). It
also has several great beach restaurants right on
sand of Bang Tao Beach. Strolling the beach will
provide you with many great dining options - should
you wish for a change of pace. The
Photos and Info Page
of the Laguna Beach Resort can give more
information.

Dusit Laguna Resort
This
resort is managed by the Dusit Hotels chain, and
perhaps because of that has a bit more Thai flavor
to its design and operation. The grounds are
beautiful (as are all the resorts at Laguna) and it
is an easy walk to Canal Village for a little
shopping and the two restaurants there. Both the
Dusit and LBR sit on a lagoon where you can sail or
use paddle boats in calmer water. They have a small
beach on the lagoon that people with young children
might prefer. The
Photos and Info Page
is here.

 Sheraton Grande Laguna Phuket
Located
in the center of the Laguna complex the Sheraton is
bordered on two sides by lagoons, one side faces the
beach and another the golf course. Particularly the
lagoon on the south side is full of birdlife - and
just great for a stroll. There is a "nature trail"
that begins near the Sheraton entrance that will
walk you around a lagoon and to Canal Village. On
the beach front are more restaurants and you can
find dining seaside in either direction. You can
find more information at the
Sheraton Photos and Info Page.
Yes, it really is as lovely as the photo shows!

 Allamanda Laguna Phuket
The
Allamanda consists of a variety of suites - some
sitting on the golf course - with beautiful views -
some sitting on the lagoon facing the sea. The golf
course suites offer an opportunity for the best bird
watching on the island - and a peaceful stroll early
in the morning (before the golfers start shooting at
you!). It's an easy walk to the Sheraton or the
Banyan Tree from here.
