Banana Fan Sea Resort

Banana Fan Sea Resort is a beachfront resort on the quieter southern end of Chaweng Beach, known for its tropical gardens, relaxed atmosphere and one of the best stretches of sand on the island. While it's a popular place to stay, many visitors also come for the beachfront restaurant, pool bar and easy-going beachside setting.

The heart of the resort is Baitong Restaurant, where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served just a few steps from the sea. The menu features Thai favourites, international dishes, fresh seafood and regular beach BBQ evenings, making it as popular for sunset dinners as it is for a leisurely lunch.

The resort offers a mix of rooms, suites and garden bungalows surrounded by palms, along with a swimming pool featuring a swim-up bar, a fitness room and beachfront massage services. Guests can spend the day by the pool, relax on the beach or walk straight into the restaurants, shops and nightlife of central Chaweng.

Banana Fan Sea strikes a balance that's becoming harder to find in Chaweng. It feels peaceful and tropical without being isolated, making it a favourite for couples, families and returning visitors who want beachfront relaxation with everything else close by.
