Naiyang Beach is a stretch of sand in Sakhu, in Thalang district on Phuket, away from the busy nightlife of Patong. The area is quieter, with the sea along one side and Sirinat National Park nearby. The beach is quiet for most of the day, and the pace here suits guests who want a slower stay near the sea.

Sirinat National Park, 1000 m away, protects a stretch of coastline with beaches where sea turtles nest. Naithon Beach is a further stretch of sand along the same coast. Phuket International Airport is 3.4 km away, and the island is connected to the mainland by a bridge, so arrival is by road.

A good day could start with a walk on Naiyang Beach and a visit to the national park, followed by a trip to Patong Beach, 19.5 km away, for its shops and nightlife. The Big Buddha Phuket, a large seated statue on a hilltop, is 28.5 km away and offers wide views over the island. Ni Yang Night Market, 1.6 km away, is an evening option with local food. Canoeing, snorkelling and diving are on the resort's list of activities, so a morning on the water is an easy start to the day.
