The Westin Siray Bay Resort & Spa, Phuket

Every room at The Westin Siray Bay Resort & Spa, Phuket has a separate shower and bathtub. Sizes run from 51 m² for a one-bedroom villa to 160 m² for a three-bedroom villa, and most rooms have a sea or ocean view, while the garden-view rooms overlook the gardens. The 130 m² two-bedroom villa has a partial sea view and two bathrooms.

Guests have a 24-hour front desk, a concierge, safety deposit boxes and daily housekeeping at The Westin Siray Bay Resort & Spa, Phuket. Room service and a bar are available, and breakfast is served as a buffet. Children's books and toys are provided for younger guests.

On-site parking is available, including an accessible self parking space, and the hotel has facilities for disabled guests. A baby cot is available on request, and rooms can have a safe box, bathrobes, a hair dryer and complimentary tea, while satellite and cable channels are also available.

The hotel sits in the Phuket Town area, the island's main town, with Siray Bay Beach 100 m away and Wat Ban Koh Siray, a pagoda, 900 m away. The area mixes local streets, temples and the sea, and Phuket Town's old streets of Sino-Portuguese shophouses give the town much of its character. It is a different kind of stay from the beach strips of the west coast.

Phuket International Airport is 29.8 km away, and the Rassada Pier ferry terminal is 1.6 km from the hotel, where boats leave for the Phi Phi islands. Wat Chalong, one of Phuket's most important temples, and the Big Buddha, a large statue on a hilltop, are both reached by road from the hotel. Patong Beach, one of the island's best-known beaches on the west coast, is 14.9 km away, so the sand of the west coast is also a day trip from here.

A good day could begin on Siray Bay Beach, followed by a visit to Wat Ban Koh Siray and a walk through the old streets of Phuket Town. In the afternoon, Wat Chalong and the Big Buddha make a fuller day of temples, and Patong Beach is the choice for an evening by the sea on the west coast.
