What is Layan like to live in?

Layan is quiet most of the time. Layan Beach is a little-known bay, and it ends at a river with small fishing boats. Its best-known feature is a big island where the river reaches the sea. Locals and expats come here for a long, quiet lunch with family or friends.

Tan Restaurant and Massage is the last restaurant still open on the beach, near the island. Beach House Layan and Rooftop by Anantara are on the beach of Anantara Layan Phuket Resort. The Pavilions Phuket, a hilltop resort above the beach, has a 360° rooftop bar. Banyan Tree Spa, at Banyan Tree Phuket on Bang Tao, is one of the island’s most exclusive spas. For more places to eat, Bang Tao Beach is next door.

To get there, drive to Bang Tao, follow the signs to Banyan Tree and continue to the end of the road. Phuket Airport is 13 km away and Phuket Town 25 km. For schools, see Phuket international schools and family districts guide.
