Phuket Town Hotels

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
