Phuket Areas for Families

Each neighbourhood has a different rhythm. Here is how they compare for family life.

Beach, schools & family living

Bang Tao

Bang Tao is the heart of Phuket's family expat life: a 6 km beach, the Laguna resort complex, beach clubs, Boat Avenue and Porto de Phuket for shopping, and a 10–20 minute drive to most international schools. Villas range from gated estates to standalone pool villas in quiet sois.

Peaceful & premium

Layan

Just north of Bang Tao, Layan is quieter and greener, with a protected beach inside Sirinat National Park and some of the island's most exclusive villa estates. Ideal for families who want space and privacy while staying 10 minutes from Bang Tao's amenities.
