Mai Khao Beach ⛱️
Mai Khao is 11 kilometres long, the longest beach in Phuket, and because it is part of the Sirinat National Park, it still looks in some parts as deserted as when we first visited it in 1990.
BEACHES OF PHUKET
Le Meridien Phuket Beach Resort
Le Meridien Phuket Beach Resort is a luxurious 5-star resort situated at the feet of a green hill overlooking the stunning Karon Noi Beach in Phuket. The resort offers guests a unique location with private access to this pristine and secluded beach.
Kata Beach ⛱️
Kata Beach, on the west coast of Phuket island, is one of the most visited beaches after Patong Beach. Kata enjoys a lovely sandy bay with an incredibly blue sea and an iconic island standing in the middle of the ocean, making excellent sunset photos.
Karon Viewpoint
The Karon Viewpoint Thai name is Kho Sam Haad, which means ‘The Hill of the Three Beaches’, and once we reached the place, just as promised, we saw three beaches. So if this is your first trip to Phuket, you probably will stop for a few minutes at this popular panoramic landmark.
Karon Beach ⛱️
Karon is one of the longest beaches in Phuket, ranking 3rd on our beach popularity page. It enjoys a 3 kilometres stretch of white sand, a decent choice of dining and nightlife, and never seems to draw crowds of tourists, which is a good thing.
Kalima Resort & Spa Phuket
Kalima Resort Phuket is a hotel with amazing panoramic views of the immense bay of Patong Beach, built on a green hill near Kalim Beach in Phuket. With such a unique location, guests can enjoy the views but also a strategic location within minutes of Patong Beach
Freedom Beach, Phuket ⛱️
The beautiful and secluded Freedom Beach is an anomaly. It is one of the prettiest beaches in Phuket, with incredibly soft white sand and clear blue waters. It is just a few minutes away from Patong Beach, the busiest beach on the island.
Banyan Tree Phuket
Banyan Tree Phuket on Bang Tao Beach is the most luxurious of the five resorts in the Laguna Complex and one of the best hotels in Phuket. The hotel opened more than two decades and has always been one of the ultimate resort experiences in Asia.
Amari Phuket
Amari Phuket is a resort with a unique location on Patong Beach. The hotel has a private beach, a fantastic view of the entire bay, and most rooms face the sea! This 5-star resort is at the southern end of Patong past the bridge, making it the perfect hotel if you want to enjoy the best of both worlds
After Beach Bar & Restaurant
After Beach Bar Phuket is a very popular Thai restaurant perched high on a cliffside above Kata Noi Beach, on the way to Nai Harn Beach; from the outside, the restaurant looks modest, with low thatched roofs and an old-fashioned reggae atmosphere.

SALA Phuket
Sala Phuket Resort and Spa on Mai Khao Beach is one of our all-time favourite hideaways in Phuket, but it is not a hotel for everyone. It is a romantic resort fully dedicated to couples, with a unique setting and total privacy.
Patong Beach ⛱️
Explore Patong with us! from the beach to the famous nightlife, we share 30 years of real reviews and insider’s tips on clubs, go-go bars, hotels and restaurants!
Pansea Beach ⛱️
Pansea Beach looks like a private beach, but since private beaches are not allowed in Thailand, you can get around by owning all the land around that beach. Only two luxury hotels, ‘The Surin’ and ‘Amanpuri’, can access Pansea Beach.
Layan Beach ⛱️
Layan Beach is a beautiful but little-known bay on the west coast of Phuket on the northern end of Bangtao Beach. Layan is home to many luxurious resorts, such as Banyan Tree Resort, Angsana Laguna Phuket Resort and Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket.

Banzaan Market in Patong Beach
Banzaan Market in Patong Beach is an excellent experience during your holiday. It’s easier to access than most local markets since it is just behind the gigantic Jungceylon Shopping Mall.
Rawai Beach ⛱️
Rawai Beach, at the south end of Phuket island, is not a beach suitable for swimming, but it offers beautiful views of the nearby islands and has a peaceful local atmosphere.
Promthep Cape
Promthep Cape, locally called “Laem Promthep”, seems to be an irresistible spot for a good old sunset photo at the very south of Phuket island, not far from Nai Harn Beach on the way to Rawai Beach.
Tiger Kingdom Phuket
The Tiger Kingdom Phuket might not be to everyone’s taste, but we took an hour to stop and see if the animals were well treated. The place is surprisingly large, clean and very well organised.
