Where to stay in Phuket

The largest of Thailand’s islands, Phuket is fringed by spectacular beaches lapped by the turquoise Andaman Sea. Phuket holidays transport you to paradise where you can go from exploring the cultural streets of Phuket Old Town to soaking up the sun on the golden sands of Karon Beach. With travel deals to Phuket, you can relax at all-inclusive resorts with sparkling pools and gourmet meals within steps of the beach. Here are our top picks for where to stay in the heart of the action.

• Patong: As Phuket’s most popular resort town, Patong is a hub for dining at beachfront restaurants, shopping and nights out at the neon-lit bars of Bangla Road. Soar high with parasailing rides and sample Thai dishes at fun-filled markets. 
• Karon: A family-friendly favourite, Karon’s long, white sand beach is lined with hotels and restaurants. See the ornate Karon Temple, play mini golf at Dino Park and change ocean scenes at nearby Kata Beach.

You’ll find Phuket holiday resorts to suit every budget, whether you want to stay near the action or enjoy a quiet retreat.

Top things to do in Phuket

Phuket holiday destinations are what paradise island dreams are made of, with culture and tradition against backdrops of natural wonders.
