03.05.2024

Nai Harn Beach is significantly different from the popular Karon and Patong. The first thing that comes to mind when mentioning this beach is serenity, silence, relaxation. The beach is located in the very south of Phuket, 20 km from Patong and 53 km from the airport. The beach is surrounded on both sides by hills covered with jungle thickets. The beach itself is a strip of snow-white sand, stretching into warm, gentle waters Andaman Sea. This beach is popular among local residents who love to have picnics here under the shade of pine trees. Families with children gather in the eastern part of the beach, where there is a safe shallow pond for children to swim. During the high tide season, the bay is filled with snow-white yachts. On the western part of the beach there is a yacht club and a luxurious hotel, The Royal Phuket Yacht Club. There are shops and restaurants all along the coast. 300m from the sea, in the depths of the beach, where the most respectable houses are concentrated, there is a freshwater lake with a shady island in the middle, on which a children's playground and fitness area are built. To the east of the beach is Promthep Cape, which offers stunning views of the sea. Many people come here every evening to admire the sunset. Another attraction of this place is the recently built windmill. Nai Harn Beach is rightfully considered one of the most beautiful places islands. P.S. This is where the head of this project rents a villa when he lives in Phuket.

The search for housing in Phuket turned out to be the longest during all our travels. All because we arrived on the island in November and wanted to live near the sea. Usually all winterers rent houses and apartments in the center of the island in the areas of Chalong, Phuket Town and Kathu. We decided to try our luck and find an apartment by the sea.

Renting housing in Phuket: our experience

First we arrived in Phuket town and rented a hotel room for a day. On the same day we started looking for a condo. Readers recommended the Kathu area, and we went there first.

Kathu is located between town and Patong, not to be confused with Kata Beach. They didn’t take the motorbike again, having seen enough of the Phuket traffic. We took the Town - Kathu bus. The fare is 25 baht per person. The route was tracked using GPS.

We realized that living on Katu without a bike is not an option. Better near the beach or at least in the town.

Features of renting an apartment in Phuket

  • Prices vary greatly depending on the season. In the low season, you can rent an apartment in a condo in Phuket near the sea for 10-15 thousand baht per month. From November to March, all housing by the sea becomes 2-3 times more expensive.
  • Rent an apartment in Phuket without intermediaries near any beach costs at least 25 thousand baht ($700) per month in high season. There will be no haggling, but in the summer there are chances to move in cheaper.
  • The cost of renting an apartment in Kathu, Chalong and Phuket Town does not depend on the season. Therefore, even in December you can find housing here in the center of the island at a normal price (up to 15 thousand baht).
  • There are almost no condominiums on the beaches. But the situation is changing, construction is actively underway.
  • Hotels often masquerade as condos in appearance. How many times has it happened that we walk into a typical-looking air conditioner, and above the reception there is the sign “Beach Resort”. Especially common in Patong.
  • Most condominiums do not have internet. At best in the lobby. You'll have to do it yourself (the reception staff will help) or buy cards for 300 baht per device.
  • About half of the condos we reviewed ask for a 2-3 month deposit
  • When renting for long term, from 6 to 12 months, the price will be 30-50% lower than when moving in for a month.

Our housing requirements

  • Cost up to 15 thousand baht per month, utilities at government rates
  • Modern condominium, preferably new
  • Clean and tidy room
  • Kitchen with stove
  • Internet
  • Balcony
  • Swimming pool is a must
  • Walking distance to shops and beach buses

What we always ask when renting a home

  1. Cost per month and the opportunity to get a discount if you rent for several months
  2. The amount of the deposit and how it will be returned
  3. Electricity and water prices. The government price for electricity is 4 baht/unit. Some air conditioners get impudent and increase the price to 8-10 baht.
  4. Availability of the Internet (in extreme cases, you can do it yourself if you’re renting for a long time)
  5. Clarify whether there will be an agreement (contract)

Which websites to look for an apartment on?

The most convenient way to find an apartment in Phuket online is on the Booking, Homeaway or Airbnb websites. Use the following links to view all apartment offers:

Booking.com - daily up to 1 month
Airbnb.com - daily or monthly

Attention! Do not transfer your money to any “helpers” who offer to help you with renting housing on the Internet (Vkotakte, Odnoklassniki, Facebook, etc.). Even if they send you a scan of your passport. There are a lot of scams when money is sent and the person immediately disappears with it. Use only proven, reliable sites! Or go without a reservation and look for accommodation on your own.

Phuket districts on the map

The map shows the main beaches and areas of the island. The entire left side is the main beaches suitable for swimming; on the right side there are no normal beaches, but in any season there is housing for adequate money. But you will have to get to the beaches on your own or public transport from 20 minutes to an hour.

In the low season (May, June, July, August) you can live in Kamala for 12 thousand baht per month, 10 minutes from the sea. In Kamala, houses, rooms in guest houses and hotels are rented, and there are also several condominiums where you can rent an apartment not only monthly, but also for several days.

We lived here for a month for 12 thousand baht, all bills and internet are included in the price. But this option is only relevant in the low and middle seasons, from April to November. From December to March, the price per month will be 4 times higher. There is a swimming pool, 5 minutes walk to the beach.

The nice condotel- a new condo, located almost opposite Tesco Bangtao. In high season, renting an apartment will cost 35 thousand baht. The sea is about 30-40 minutes walk or 10 minutes drive. Coordinates: 7.984591, 98.302985

Condominiums in Kathu

Overall the Kathu area is not bad. Large Tesco, Big C and Macro stores are accessible within a 10-minute bike ride. There are several local markets with normal prices that are open on certain days of the week, and there are 7-Elevens. Beautiful mountains. But living in Kathu is inconvenient without your own transport. Since there is nowhere to go in the evening and to get to the sea by bus. The nearest beach is Patong, which can be reached directly in 20-25 minutes.

Condo in Phuket Town

Phuket Town - optimal value for money. Renting an apartment in Phuket Town is the best price for money; the price does not depend on the season and proximity to the sea. You can rent an apartment with a kitchen and 1 or 2 bedrooms in a very decent condo with a pool and gym for 12 thousand baht per month. The longer the rental period, the cheaper the payment will be. Phuket town is a non-tourist city when compared to beach areas, so prices for everything will be lower. You will have to get to the beaches by bus or your own transport.

Apartments in Phuket we lived in

Here is just a small part of the housing in Phuket. We visited most of these places during our searches. The only area that was not considered was Chalong, since it is quite a village where the largest 7 Eleven store is.

Where did we end up settling? Reviews of our accommodation in Phuket:

  • Our first experience. We rented a hotel room for a month for 12 thousand baht. Then in December they raised the prices and we were forced to move.
  • Patong Chalong Agoda.com → Airbnb.com →

The Nai Harn beach area is one of the most comfortable for long stays or short holidays in Phuket.

I can make this statement from my own experience living on the island and the opinion of the majority of Russian and English-speaking families living here.

Of course, when we say Naiharn area, we mean the Rawai area and the proximity to Naiharn Beach. The closer to Naiharn beach you live, the bolder you can say that, “I live in the Nai Harn area.” If it is 5-10 minutes drive from the beach, then most likely you live in the Rawai area. But in principle, this is one large district of Rawai-Nai Harn.

Why is it so attractive to tourists?

First of all, this area is the most balanced. There is one of the most clean beaches Phuket - Nai Harn.

This is the most calm, without big waves, with a gentle entrance to the water beach.

For this reason, it is loved and chosen for their vacation by families with children of any age, elderly people and everyone who likes to swim calmly. At the same time, clean, transparent, azure sea water completes the picture.

Also in the middle of the beach, there is a separate, shallow mini lake with sea water, where families with very young children prefer to relax. Also, next to the beach there is a children's playground with slides and swings.

There is a developed infrastructure near the beach and throughout the area: large and small grocery stores (Tesco Lotus, 7/11, etc.), a wide variety of cafes and restaurants (Thai, Mexican, Japanese, Russian, Italian, French cuisine). An abundance of massage parlors and beauty salons.

Bars and restaurants, of course, there are not as many of them as in Patong, but they exist. On the beaches of Kamala and Bangtao at 22:00 everything is quiet and immersed in sleep; fortunately, this cannot be said about Rawai-Nai Harn. But the whole party is much calmer, there are many quiet areas, music from bars and clubs does not disturb others.

The area is very well located: Phuket Town with its large shops, shopping centers (Festival Center, Big C, Tesco Lotus) 30 minutes drive, Kata, Karon 20 minutes, Patong 50 minutes. Getting to the airport takes 60 minutes. It is also important that all the best hospitals to which Russian tourists are sent are located in Phuket town; they are also easily accessible from this area.

This area has recently been the most popular, it is believed that this is a holiday destination for wealthy people, the most balanced area in terms of infrastructure and cost (without much pathos like, for example, Laguna), as well as with a good, uncrowded and, without tourists on vacation packages, beach. The place is most isolated from the so-called “Tagil”.

Who is he, a tourist on NaiHarn beach?

The area is attractive to all ages.

The majority of tourists prefer a balanced holiday, which is why the area is popular. Typically, families with children, large groups of friends, and couples for a romantic or honeymoon choose this place for their vacation.

Also, there are many people who live for a long period of 6-12 months, or who like to “winter”, spending 3 winter months in sunny Thailand.

Where do people usually stay on Nai Harn?

Preference is usually given to one-bedroom bungalows on the beach for couples. Families of 3-4 people rent two-bedroom houses/villas with a private or communal pool. Also popular are 3, 4, 5 bedroom villas for large groups of friends or several families.
