Courtyard by Marriott Chalong Bay: Your New Phuket Escape

Courtyard by Marriott Phuket Chalong Bay Resort officially opened its doors, marking the brand’s third property on the island and turning Chalong Bay into the ultimate "basecamp" for modern explorers.

While many travelers flock to the bustling West Coast, Chalong Bay offers a more authentic rhythm. It’s a place where local life and the sea dictate the pace, yet it remains perfectly connected to Phuket’s most iconic landmarks.
 

A Gateway to the Andaman

The resort’s location is its greatest luxury. Situated just minutes from Chalong Pier, guests have a front-row seat to the Andaman Sea’s most famous islands, including Phi Phi, the Similans, and Coral Island. Back on land, the cultural heart of the island—Phuket Old Town—and the sacred Wat Chalong are within easy reach.

"Phuket continues to be a highly sought-after destination, and we are thrilled to expand our portfolio with the debut of Courtyard by Marriott Phuket Chalong Bay Resort," says Brad Edman, Market Vice President – Thailand, Cambodia & Myanmar, Marriott International. "The Courtyard brand is designed to empower guests with modern comforts and thoughtful amenities, ensuring they have everything needed for a productive and enjoyable stay."

Modern Comforts and Local Flavors
The resort features 280 contemporary guest rooms, each designed with private balconies to soak in the tropical views. Whether you are a digital nomad needing a functional workspace or a family on a summer break, the layouts are crafted for "effortless" living.

The culinary scene at the resort is just as diverse:

Palai Bistro: The go-to spot for European classics and spicy Phuket specialties.

Chalong Baking Company (CBCo): A chic café serving ceremonial-grade matcha, specialty coffee, and pastries—perfect for a quick co-working session.

Splash Pool Bar: A swim-up bar with stylish seating pods for those "do-nothing" afternoons.

A More Authentic Side of Phuket
For those looking to stay active, the resort boasts a modern Fitness Center with steam rooms and two outdoor pools. However, the true soul of the property lies in its connection to the community.

"Chalong Bay presents a quieter, more authentic side of Phuket, shaped by local life and the timeless rhythms of the sea," explains Nicholas Tse, Multi-Property General Manager. "We look forward to introducing travelers to this emerging destination and creating stays that feel authentic, uplifting and seamlessly connected to the surroundings."

Whether you're diving into the deep blue or sipping coffee while watching the boats come in, the new Courtyard Phuket Chalong Bay Resort is proof that the best way to see Phuket is to live it like a local.
