Phayamas Private Beach Resort and Island Brew - Adults Only

Phayamas Private Beach Resort boasts clean, spacious bungalows with a stunning location offering beach access. Guests praise the friendly staff, delicious breakfast buffet, and well-maintained facilities including a pool.

I stayed here for two nights after staying at their sister resort in the other side of the island (Ziggy Stardust). This is most definitely a few steps up from Ziggy Stardust and from what I could tell probably one of the best resorts on the island. The resort is quiet as it’s for adults only (no kids running around) and the rooms are large, clean and extremely comfortable. This was the most comfortable mattress I have slept on during my entire 10-day trip from Phuket to Koh Phayam. The food is great (mostly the same menu as in Ziggy Stardust) although they ran out of some options and the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. The young man with glasses at reception (sorry, I forgot his name) was fantastic! This is the sunrise side of the island and although the beach isn’t as big as Aow Yai it was still nice and the pool is a great added benefit too. The only issue I had was that I couldn’t get a late check out because they needed my room on my departure day. This is obviously not their fault and not something I blame them for but I couldn’t even sit and have a meal at their restaurant while waiting for my afternoon ferry because a large group of seniors had occupied every seat in the shade (I’m guessing they were waiting to check in and were the reason I couldn’t get a late check out). A shame as I would’ve wanted to stay the last few hours I had on the island relaxing there but instead had to leave and look for somewhere else. But just a little detail that didn’t in any way diminish my experience there. Definitely worth a visit!
