Novotel Phuket Vintage Park - Family & Business trip hotel - Nearby Attractions and Local Area Highlights Around Our Hotel

All our guests enjoy the superb family accommodation in Phuket at our hotel but it’s not the only reason they keep coming back. For many people, the nearby attractions in Patong are just as appealing as the sumptuous rooms we offer. If you are planning to visit soon, we are sure you will also enjoy discovering some of the nearby tourist spots and relaxing in your comfortable accommodation afterwards.

Types of Nearby Tourist Spots You Can Explore During Your Stay

There are several different nearby attractions to explore while staying with us at the Novotel Vintage Park in Phuket. Some, such as the beach, appeal to people of all ages and from all walks of life while others, like the Thai boxing stadium, tend to appeal to more specific demographics. If there are any specific nearby tourist attractions you wish to visit and you would like us to help you organise your excursion, don’t hesitate to ask for assistance at the front desk at any time during your stay.

Historical Sites and Landmarks to Visit

When it comes to nearby attractions in Patong, you might be expecting rather more beaches, nightlife and shopping venues than historical sites and landmarks but it has its fair share of these too. Suwan Khiri Wong Temple is just a couple of kilometres from the hotel and Wat Doi Thep Nimit Monastery is a couple of kilometres further on, in the same direction.

If you are interested in visiting both these sites when staying with us, we recommend arranging to see them on the same day for your convenience. Our guest services team will be delighted to organise transportation if desired and recommend other historical sites and local landmarks you might like to visit.

Best Local Dining and Cuisine

Staying in our hotel near Patong Beach, you will be within easy reach of many restaurants, cafés, bistros, bar & grill establishments and other types of eateries. Some of these are close to nearby attractions while others qualify as attractions in their own right. Among the most popular are the following:

• Siam Phuket Seafood Restaurant
  You must try some of the locally-caught seafood while staying with us in Patong as it’s some of the best you will find anywhere. The menu is focused on fresh seafood and authentic Thai dishes.
• Naughty Nuri’s
  For Balinese Fusion cuisine and tasty BBQ ribs, head to Naughty Nuri’s. It’s less than 300 metres from our hotel and serves a range of delicious Asian and international dishes.
• L’Arôme by the Sea
  Take a 5-minute drive along the coast to enjoy stunning ocean views and spectacular food at this fabulous French restaurant.
• The Square
  If you are in the mood for a slap-up buffet meal, with BBQ seafood and other delights on the menu, there’s no need to leave the hotel. You can find what you’re looking for in The Square, which is our flagship restaurant.

Day Trips and Excursions

If you run out of nearby attractions to explore and would like to investigate other areas of Phuket while staying in Patong, and perhaps some of the neighbouring islands too, we can help you organise some exciting day trips while you are with us.

• ATV Tour to Phuket Big Buddha Viewpoint
  If you simply want to see this impressive statue and take some holiday snaps, you can get to the viewpoint in about 40 minutes by taxi from the hotel. If, on the other hand, you’d like to organise some fun day trips for your stay, consider an ATV tour that includes a stop-off at the viewpoint. Tours can take from 1-5 hours and all the equipment you need should be provided by the tour company that you go with.
• Visit James Bond Island
  If you have always wanted to visit Koh Tapu, the island where James Bond confronted Scaramanga in Goldfinger, your holiday in Patong is the perfect time to realise your dream. Day trips to the island leave around 9 in the morning and return about 5 in the afternoon. Most tour operators will collect passengers from their hotels in the morning and take them back in the afternoon.
• Private Instagram Tour
  For guests who love to get the best pictures wherever they travel, a private Instagram tour of Phuket is a great idea. If you book a tour with a reputable operator, you can hit all the top photo spots on the island, including a photogenic restaurant where you can enjoy a hearty lunch.

These are just a few day-trip ideas that you might like to try. We’ll be happy to suggest many more if desired.
