Downtown convenience

If being in the thick of it is more your style, downtown Phuket Town is the place to be. With easy access to shopping centres and a plethora of restaurants, this area is ideal for those who want to be at the heart of the action. Business travellers will also find modern amenities in the business-friendly hotels dotting the area.

Beach access options

Phuket Town isn’t just about the urban vibes—it's also a gateway to some of the island's best beaches. Hotels near popular beaches offer sunbathing and water sports aplenty, while beachfront accommodations with private access ensure you can have your toes in the sand within moments of stepping out of bed.

Budget-friendly choices

Travellers on a budget needn’t fret; Phuket Town offers plenty of affordable hotels that don’t skimp on essential amenities. Centrally located, these budget-friendly choices make it easy to explore the town’s attractions without breaking the bank.

The Beaches

There are plenty of superb beaches near Phuket hotels, although if you're looking for somewhere relatively quiet and secluded, consider pristine Kamala Beach. If you're interested in somewhere more lively, you can visit Patong Beach, which is surrounded by numerous bars and restaurants, and is a fantastic place to party after the sun sets. Other great choices include the vast white sands of Bangtao Beach, the breathtaking Banana Rock Beach, and the Mai Khao Beach, the last of which is the longest stretch of sand in Phuket.

Old Phuket Town

An exceptionally well-maintained historic district, Old Phuket Town was created with the wealth that traders acquired during the peak of the island's tin industry in the early 20th century. Here, you can visit some of Phuket's most prized attractions such as the enchanting Phra Pitak Chinpracha Mansion, the House of the Beautiful Images and the Phuket Provincial Hall.

Phang Nga Bay

No holiday in Phuket would be complete without witnessing the world-famous Phang Nga Bay, which is noted for its striking caves and cliffs. Here, the most recognisable landmark, or technically 'sea-mark', is Ko Tapu, a 20-metre rock that was featured in the James Bond film 'The Man with the Golden Gun' in 1974.

Nightlife hotspot: Bangla Road

After sunset, the street known as Bangla Road transforms into one of the most vibrant entertainment districts in Asia. Enjoy loud outdoor parties, live performances and excellent street food in a friendly, cosmopolitan atmosphere, and feel free to dance well into the early hours.

Where to eat – suggestions

There are many hundreds of excellent restaurants to choose from, but if you're a lover of Italian and American-themed cuisine, head to Godfather Phuket, or perhaps you might want to dine at the Baan Noy Restaurant for some wonderful Thai, European and seafood dishes. For some fabulous steaks, go to the Siam Supper Club or EAT. Bar & Grill, or try the Restaurant Royale Nam Tok for some superb French cuisine.
