Where to stay in Phuket

Knowing where to stay in Phuket is essential to shaping your holiday experience. Stay in Phuket Town itself and enjoy close access to the cultural highlights of the region. Alternatively, you can get away from it all by relaxing at an exclusive hotel on one of the smaller islands. Your vacation can even change depending on which beach you stay at. After all, there are places where people party until dawn and places that are more secluded and romantic.

Frequently asked questions

How many days in Phuket is enough?

It depends how much sightseeing you’re keen to do. If you’re happy to kick it on one of the beaches and generally stick to that area, you could get away with three or four days. If, however, you’re keen to do a little island hopping as well as adventuring in the national parks, you’re going to want a little longer. 


Which area of Phuket is best for tourists?

Many visitors are drawn to Patong like moths to a flame thanks to its alluring nightlife, shopping and dining options. Many people also choose to stay in Kata and Karon for a more relaxed and family-friendly experience while Bangtao and Surin offer luxury options.


When is the best time to visit Phuket?

Phuket has a tropical monsoonal climate, which means there’s a dry and a rainy season. The best time to visit Phuket is from December through to March for blue skies and cool breezes.


What is there to do in Phuket?

A holiday to Phuket can be as relaxed or as jam-packed as you would like it to be. You can claim a sun bed and spend blissful hours sipping and dipping, partake in some watersports, eat your way around the local restaurants, and then, for a little fun, head to Bangla Road. When you need a break from the sun and sand, head inland to explore the jungle with thrilling white-water rafting adventures, animal sanctuaries and waterfalls aplenty. For a dose of history, head to Old Phuket Town.
