The Halo 1 Naiyang Beach

Every apartment has air conditioning, a private bathroom with a shower, toiletries and towels, a flat-screen TV, linens, an electric kettle and a hair dryer. The one-bedroom apartments sleep up to three guests, and the two-bedroom apartments sleep up to five, so families and small groups can share the same building.

Sizes run from 36 m² to 60 m², and the bed set-ups vary from one apartment to another. Several apartments have a balcony, and the two-bedroom apartments come with two bathrooms, each with a shower, toiletries and towels. The one-bedroom apartments have one bathroom each, and the property has an elevator.

The property has an outdoor swimming pool, a spa offering massage treatments, a sauna and a steam room, and a fitness centre. There is also a garden and a terrace on site, along with a playground for children, so the grounds offer room to spread out after a day at the beach.

Daily housekeeping, laundry service and dry cleaning are available, along with luggage storage, express check-in and check-out, and an ironing service. Bicycles are available to guests, and the property has a children's swimming pool next to the main pool area.

Tours can be arranged, and grocery and food delivery are offered. Free Wi-Fi is available in all rooms, and there is free parking on site.

Naiyang Beach is a quiet stretch of sand on Phuket island, and the area around it is made up of small hotels and local shops, with a far slower pace than the busier resort towns of Patong and Karon. The beach is the main draw here, and the surrounding streets are calmer than the centre of the island's nightlife areas.

Nai Yang Beach is 400 m from the property, and Sirinat National Park, a protected area of beaches and forest, is close by. Nai Thon Beach, a few kilometres away, is another quiet option. Wat Mongkonwaram, a Buddhist temple, is 850 m away. Phuket International Airport is 2.8 km away, and Patong Beach, the island's best-known resort beach, is 19.9 km away. Phuket is joined to the mainland by a bridge, and a car or scooter is the easiest way to reach the places further away.

A good day could start with a walk along Nai Yang Beach, followed by a visit to Sirinat National Park, then an evening at the sunset viewpoint and the Ni Yang Night Market nearby. Further afield, the Phuket FantaSea show and the beaches of Kata and Karon are a longer trip, so plan them as a separate day.
