Pattaya isn’t just a city by the sea—it’s a place where every stretch of sand tells a different story. Whether you’re chasing the buzz of nightlife, looking for a calm spot for your kids, or dreaming of turquoise waters on a quiet island, Pattaya has a beach that feels made for you.
And with Altera Hotel and Residence Pattaya as your starting point, every shoreline is just minutes away.
Step out to the sound of jet skis and laughter—Pattaya Beach is alive from sunrise to sunset. In the morning, joggers share the sand with families building sandcastles. By night, neon lights reflect on the waves, and the air is filled with the scent of grilled seafood and music from beachside bars.
