Most of the accomodation in the Had Tien/Had Yuan/Had Why Nam area is ‘bungalows’, which usually have a double bed, mosquito net, toilet/shower and balcony. These range from 300-600 baht per night, less if you stay longer-term. Most visitors will arrive on Had Tien, leave their bags for an hour at a restaurant, and look around on foot for whatever is available.
Why Nam: quiet, low-key beach. nice bungalows with good views of the sea. 400-500 baht. They do require that you eat minimum one meal per day at the restaurant (not included in the price of course).
Had Tien: Beam Bungalows, on the far side from the Sanctuary, close to Why Nam. They have a range of bungalows, basic to bigger 300-700 baht. They are closest to where the longtail boat drops you off, so many people try here first. Walk straight ahead from the boat drop-off through the coconut grove for 2 mins. “World Nature” has simple, quiet bungalows set back in a garden (250-400 baht). To find them, walk away from Had Tien Beach with the Sanctuary area on your left. Keep following the path and you will see signs on your left. Here you will also find the ”Family Bungalows”, same price range, nice bungalows. We DO NOT recommend “Love-Lip” Bungalows, which are near to Family and World Nature. The Had Tien Resort just next to the Sanctuary has some nice bungalows and some very run-down ones as well; they are popular so they’re often full, but it’s worth seeing what they have. They will let you keep your bag there for 1-2 hrs to look for something else if they’re full..
Haad Yuan: This is where most people like to stay so the bungalows are often full. “Eden” on the path between Had Tien and Had Yuan (10 mins walk) has simple bungalows (200-400 baht). It’s more of a party atmosphere, loud music, a rougher vibe. “Bamboo Hut” is the favorite for bungalows and food. Nearly always full (350-450 baht). Set in a nice garden. Run by the hospitable “Mr. T”. Worth checking, just in case. From the Bamboo Hut, follow the wooden walkway toward Had Yuan and you will see ”Pirate’s Cove” bungalows (300-400 bt) on the cliffs. Once you’re on Had Yuan beach, you have “Big Blue” Bungalows, which are well-kept (300-1000 bt) and have a range of accomodation from standard bungalows to a 2-rm house. Further down the beach is a new resort, with modern amenities and a pool (Pariya Resort, info/booking available online. $100-250 US) . Past the resort is “Barcelona”, which has the most spacious bungalows of all the beaches, most are standard but there are fancier ones as well, nice views (300- 600 bt). Finally, there is another wooden walkway with 3 different groups of bungalows on the rocks and up the hill that are simple but decent (200-300 bt) and certainly have the nicest views.
There are three beaches in our area, Had Yuan, Had Tien in the middle, and Had Why Nam .Most visitors just arrive and leave their bags at one of the cafes ,then walk around to see what’s available. The only bungalow that takes reservations is the Sanctuary on Had Tien. Had Why Nam is where the classes are held. If you stay for a month, most bungalows will negotiate a discount of 50 baht less per night.
Had Yuan : the widest beach and most options.The favorites are Bamboo Hut on the rocks on the far right (your back to the sea).Close by and down on the beach are the Big Blue Bungalows.Barcelona on the left.These are all in the 300-600 baht range for a bungalow with private bathroom.If you follow the wooden path along the rocks past Barcelona you will find simple bungalows w/bath for 150-300 baht.These are rustic but do have the best views.
Had Tien: the Sanctuary is the only place in the area that offers reservations (online) as well as A/C .Nice bungalows,higher prices.”Beam” Bungalows on the far right range from 300-600 baht,but keep in mind that there is an all-night party nearby on Fridays.World Nature on the Sanctuary side of the coconut grove also has simple huts. Family Bungalows are well-kept. Avoid LoveLip Bungalows. Had Tien Resort also has bungalows close to Why Nam from 200-300 baht.
Why Nam: this is where class is held. Small, laid-back beach. Bungalows with pretty views range 350-450 baht. To stay here, management requests that you eat at least one meal per day in the restaurant..
