Relax Bay Beach nightlife, restaurants, hotels, shopping

Relax Bay/Le Meredien- Just a short 5 minute drive from Patong is Relax Bay, otherwise known as the beach in front of Le Meredien Hotel. As in all of Thailand, the beach is open to the public, but access to get to the beach can present a problem just as it does here. However there are many ways to access this beach. You could hire a long tail from Karon Beach, you could hike down the mountain from the main road and bypass Le Meredien Resort, or you can go straight through the resort in a private vehicle. If you try to access the resort via a rental motorbike, undoubtedly the guards will stop you.

The sand here is unbelievably white and powdery. On the beach here you will find a beach volleyball court and sand side drinks and food from the Hotel. Once you make it to this beach, it’s a great place to spend an afternoon as the water is an incredible shade of blue and green. The resort also sells day passes to use all of it’s facilities such as the squash and tennis courts, the gym as well as it’s many swimming pools.
