The Mooring Resort

The Mooring Resort is a peaceful boutique retreat nestled on the secluded sands of Ao Yon Beach in Cape Panwa, away from the buzz of Phuket’s west coast. Featuring just 15 teak-wood–furnished bungalows set in lush tropical gardens, each unit opens to its own terrace with views of the pristine bay, a saltwater pool, and scattered sailboats. Located a short walk from the larger Ao Yon stretch and partnered with The Cove beach restaurant, guests enjoy fine seaside dining, chilled Western and Thai dishes, cocktails, and barefoot lunches under canopy trees. Pet-friendly policies mean even furry companions are welcome on strolls along the shore.
