The Sands Beach Apartments is just a few minutes walk from the white sands of Nai Harn Beach, where there is only a small handful of accommodation options. These exclusive residences are available for short-term rental. Suites at The Sands are extremely spacious, ranging in size from 125-150 square meters, and are air-conditioned throughout. There are two large bedrooms (each with a king-size bed), two bathrooms, a spacious living room with separate dining room, a European kitchen with full appliances, and a balcony overlooking a small, green park and Nong Han Lagoon, or more commonly known as Nai Harn Lake. The rooftop swimming pool also overlooks the lake, and is framed by mountains to its rear. It has both shaded and sunny areas. Nai Harn Lake is all that sits between The Sands and the beach. This stunning natural lake is shaded by trees and is backed by a Buddhist monastery. With the peaceful atmosphere of this sacred temple, and the tranquility of the trees billowing softly over this still lagoon, it is no wonder that The Sands is one of Nai Harn's most sought after properties. The Sands Beach Apartments is located on Nai Harn Beach, at the southern-most tip of Phuket. Phuket International Airport is approximately a forty-minute drive, and the busy and bustling Patong Beach is only a 20-minute journey. Phuket Town is around 20 minutes away. Guests at The Sands will be able to reach Nai Harn Beach in a couple of minutes by foot. Equally as close is a number of eateries, ranging from a family-run Italian establishment, to locally-owned Thai and seafood restaurants. Development has intentionally been kept to a minimum, but there is a handful of convenience stores, a travel agency where day excursions can be booked, and a few small clothing outlets. There are shop houses offering massage and reflexology, and a taxi stand with sign-posted rates to various locations around Phuket. There is a four-star hotel being built behind The Sands. This does provide for some noise during the day, but generally it is kept to minimum so it does not disturb your stay with us at The Sands. It is set to open in early 2013. The Sands Phuket is a 36 unit, all two bed room apartment and town-house complex with a great swimming pool and sun deck. Each apartment and town house is spacious, has a fully equipped kitchen, two en0-suite bedrooms, a terrace, cable TV and free wifi. Large garden out front with kid's playground, and the beach only 3 minutes or so stroll away.
