Best Hotels in Phuket
Phuket is Thailand's largest island and one of Southeast Asia's most popular resort destinations. With dramatic limestone karsts, powdery white sand beaches and exceptionally affordable luxury, it's a tropical paradise that delivers incredible value for Australian travellers.
Patong is the liveliest beach, packed with restaurants, markets and nightlife. Kata and Karon offer a more relaxed family-friendly atmosphere, while the west coast from Kamala to Surin has upmarket boutique resorts. Old Phuket Town, with its Sino-Portuguese shophouses and Sunday walking street market, reveals the island's cultural side.
Day trips to the Phi Phi Islands and Phang Nga Bay (James Bond Island) are highlights. Thai food in Phuket is outstanding — from street-side pad thai to fine dining in restored mansions.
