The best hotels for honeymoon in Phuket

What are the most romantic hotels in Phuket? This is another frequent question we are happy to answer. Here are the best hotels we experienced in Phuket. We know there are more, but we only write about places we personally stayed at, so watch this page as it grows.

Phuket is a fantastic destination for couples and has so much to offer. You can stay in one of the most exclusive villas on the island, cruise to more idyllic islands, go party if you want, have a candlelight dinner right on the beach, and the list goes on and on. We wrote a few pages about romance in Phuket and the most romantic restaurants in Phuket. But most of all, you need the right hotel and Phuket certainly has some fantastic villas to enjoy. We spent some weekends at all the hotels listed on this page and will spend some more! Here is the list of our favourite romantic hotels in Phuket.

2. Kata Rocks

Kata Rocks

Kata Rocks is changing the face of luxury accommodation in Phuket: more than just a hotel stay, it’s an unforgettable holiday experience. The hotel is on a hill at the south end of the superb Kata Beach, and from up there, every Sky Villa offers impressive views of the Andaman Sea. Kata Rocks is so beautifully designed; it’s a real photo playground, especially the famous umbrellas in the infinity pool. And because the resort has become so popular, we had to wait a long time to experience it, but the day finally arrived. Read more

Location: Kata Beach

What we loved:

Pretty much everything:

  • Beautiful design
  • Attention to every single detail
  • Superb infinity pools
  • Service second to none

What you should know:

  • The hillside makes it hard to go from your room to the main areas or to drive out to town. You pretty much need to call a buggy for any movement.
  • The price tag is very high.
  • There is no beach, and Kata Beach is a little far.

3. Sri Panwa

Sri Panwa is one of Phuket’s most exclusive hotels. Everyone we know heard of it, but not many actually stayed there, and we finally did. This resort is built on a hillside of the remote Cape Panwa and is best known for its incredible rooftop bar called Baba Nest. The pool villas are vast and with a large infinity pool in front of the bedroom. It is simply jaw-dropping. Read more

Location: Cape Panwa

What we loved:

  • The villas are fantastic! you will not want to leave them
  • The views are superb
  • The rooftop bar is amazing (but hard to book)
  • The staff is as good as it gets!
  • Five great restaurants are excellent.

7. The Surin

The Surin Resort

The Surin is a beautifully designed hotel with a long history and an amazing location on Pansea beach in Phuket. It’s also one of the first luxury hotels on the island.
