Occupying a prime hilltop position overlooking Patong Beach, this two-bedroom getaway is the holiday home that can do it all. So whether you're looking to experience an idyllic family-friendly escape to its golden sands or make the most of its vibrant nightlife and adrenaline-pumping watersports on a couples' retreat, this apartment has you covered. First up, we'll address the stunning balcony view that looks out over the rooftops towards the crescent-shaped bay that is the town's headline attraction and the source of most of the activities on offer here. From the serenity of scuba diving beneath the waves to parasailing high above them, there's an extensive menu of options on offer for the more intrepid traveller. Elsewhere within the resort, there's a stunning infinity-edge pool flanked by sun loungers, plus a state-of-the-art gym for those who want to keep up with their fitness regimes while away. Patong Beach is probably the best known on the island, so those in search of a secluded spot might want to travel 7km south to Freedom Beach or venture a little further to the likes of Panwa Beach, on the island's south-eastern peninsula, approximately half an hour away. For those who've always liked the sound of a bit of international espionage, why not take a day trip to Phang Nga Bay? Make stops at James Bond Island, and explore the secluded lagoons of Talu Island before soaking up the sun on Naka Island.
