Where to stay on islands near Phuket?
Staying in a hotel on an island near Phuket seems to be a strange idea at first, but if you know Phuket or if you have been here many times, an escape to a remote island offers something unique, a tropical charm you won’t find in Phuket. Phuket is relatively large and has grown a lot, and fast. The larger roads, the many buildings and the frequent traffic congestion in the south of the island have somehow affected the island feel. Here is a list of popular hotels on islands near Phuket.

| The Beach | The beach is fantastic, superb blue water and powedery sand. |
| The Hotel | 5-star resort with private villas, some with pools. |
| The Facilities | 1 swimming pool, 2 restaurants and 2 bars. Fitness and great spa. |
| What's Around? | A few seaside bar and restaurants only but very relaxing. Because Koh Racha is an island, don't expect to go around Phuket Island: you would have to book a daytrip for the Big Buddha and Old Streets of Phuket Town. |

| Worth Noticing | The beach can be busy with daytrippers during the day, but it will be all yours after 4 or 5 pm! |
| Price | High because of popularity. Book early in high season (December to April) |
