If you’re planning a trip to the world’s top fitness destination, this article covers everything you need to know about Fitness Street accommodation in Phuket. With over eight years of experience training in the area—and as the person who originally coined the term “Fitness Street”—I have insider knowledge on where to stay and what you can expect to spend.
Over the years, I’ve stayed in nearly every type of accommodation imaginable. In fact, during one month in 2022, I spent 3–4 days in each place just to create “review videos” for you all! Admittedly, it was exhausting!
For full disclosure, as of December 2024, I’m not paid or sponsored by any business on Fitness Street. This is 100% a passion project… so please, tell your friends about this place and help spread the word. Your feedback on my content is the fuel that keeps me making more free content 🙂
To quickly introduce myself, my name is Brad and if you see me on or around Fitness Street, come say hi 🙂 Below are a few pics that I’ve taken with some people I’ve either trained with or bumped into on Fitness Street.

Fitness Street Accommodation
I spent several days personally visiting every accommodation on and around Fitness Street to gather the latest monthly pricing information for you. Please note that you’ll need to convert these prices from Thai Baht to your local currency. As of December 2024 (the high season), these prices are likely to be double the amounts listed!

My Favourite Resorts
My top three resorts, which I call “The Three Cocos” (Cocoville, Coco Paradiso, and Coco Retreat), are all conveniently located near Fitness Street. Cocoville is situated on a side street off Fitness Street, just an 8-to-10-minute walk from the renowned Unit 27 and Tiger Muay Thai gyms. Coco Paradiso and Coco Retreat are located on the adjacent street, about a 15–20-minute walk away.

There are many accommodation options located either on Fitness Street or on a nearby side street. It’s essential to book a place along Fitness Street unless you plan to rent a scooter for daily travel. One of the biggest mistakes I made when I first arrived was booking accommodation that was a 40-minute walk from Tiger Muay Thai. To make matters worse, I had to cross the main highway, which is extremely dangerous.
If I’m staying on Fitness Street for several months or longer, I prefer more affordable, long-term accommodation. My personal favourites for extended stays are 2home and Six Pack Cottage (co-located and run by the same manager). If you’re curious, here’s a quick room tour of where I stayed for three months. This was my room at 2home where I was paying $13 AUD per night.
If you’re looking for affordable long-term accommodation on Fitness Street, check out the video below. I’ll show you Sawasdee Villa and Khaonoi Bungalow. If you are still struggling to find budget accommodation in the high season (which is right now!), then I suggest Oyo, Baan Khun Yui, or Little Hill Resort. All three of these places are located on the same side-street to Fitness Street.
Fitness Street Phuket Facebook Group
Fitness Street attracts a diverse crowd, from those looking to quit smoking or drinking, to individuals striving for better health, fitness, and strength. Elite MMA fighters, Muay Thai practitioners, and CrossFit athletes come here to refine their skills. Amateur athletes love training at the many fitness camps along the street and often gather at Ali’s BBQ for a protein ice cream on Friday nights.
Solo travelers are also a big part of the Fitness Street experience. If you’re traveling alone, there’s no need to feel hesitant—just join the Fitness Street Facebook group. It’s a welcoming community where you can ask about budgeting, accommodation, gym facilities, and more. You’ll find plenty of like-minded fitness enthusiasts ready to help.
To make the most of your Fitness Street journey, I invite you to join our thriving Facebook group, now over 6,000 members strong and growing fast. It’s the perfect place to connect, share tips, and even arrange meetups with fellow fitness enthusiasts before your visit. Come be part of our vibrant community!
Final Words
If you are preparing to stay and train along Fitness Street during the peak season (December-March), then you must book your accommodation at least 3 months in advance. Times have changed and it just keeps getting busier and busier, year after year. In the low season, you don’t need to book your accommodation in advance. I suggest booking 2-3 nights accommodation and then when you arrive, look around at the various other accommodation facilities. It will be cheaper if you negotiate a long-term stay option face-to-face then booking it online.
