More info

On the beach there are only sunbeds available for hotel guests, as far as we know you can’t rent sunbeds on the beach when you’re not sleeping there. The restaurants on this beach also belong to the hotels on this beach. Nang Thong Beach with many restaurants and stores is about 15 minutes walk if you want some variation.

The hotels on this beach often call it a private beach, but that’s not quite right, Sunset Beach is a public beach. But because it has little to offer for day trips, the beach is mainly visited by hotel guests, which can be nice if you sleep in one of the hotels at Sunset Beach.

Accommodations at Sunset Beach

It will not surprise you, the hotels and resorts on this beach fall under the category luxury and super luxury. That means you can sleep in 3 star up to 5 star accommodations. Real budget hotels or hostels are not (yet) in the immediate vicinity of the beach.
