Andaman Breeze Resort

Andaman Breeze Resort is a four-star hotel at 424/1 Soi 11/1, tucked inland near Ao Nang’s limestone cliffs rather than on the sand. Reckon on a 15-minute walk or short tuk-tuk ride to the beach, shops and restaurants — Booking.com puts the distance at 2 kilometres, so build in time either way.

Deluxe and Deluxe Cliff View rooms both measure 33 square metres, with a daybed, balcony, TV and minibar. The one-bedroom Family Suite adds a Jacuzzi bath at 48 square metres and sleeps three, and two connecting Deluxe rooms combine into a 66-square-metre two-bedroom option. These are hotel rooms, not apartments — there’s no cooking kitchen in any of them.

An outdoor pool sits above the lobby with its own pool bar, alongside a restaurant, room service, gardens, parking, luggage storage and 24-hour assistance. The on-site tour counter books land and sea trips, though boats to Railay and the islands leave from waterfront piers rather than the hotel door.

Insider Tip: Build slack into any boat-departure morning. Walk-time estimates vary by source, and you’ll still need to find the right beach ticket point or pier once you’re down at the water.

Check-in starts at 14:00, checkout by noon. This inland spot suits guests happy to trade a beachfront doorstep for quieter nights and karst views from the cliff-view rooms — a tuk-tuk covers the gap to the sand in the heat. The Family Suite name doesn’t guarantee flexible occupancy, so confirm the children’s policy and headcount before you pay.
