Recommended hotels for an amazing vacation
Phuket, the largest of Thailand's islands, offers a true paradise for beach lovers, along with an abundance of hotels and resorts that look like they were plucked from a fairy tale, with breathtaking golden beaches and a bright turquoise sea. Just before you pack your bag, it's really worth browsing the list of recommended hotels in Phuket and arriving there with a booking for a hotel that suits you already in hand. In this list, you'll find the best hotels on the island, curated for you by the Simply Thailand team.
We know - one of the more challenging tasks (but also a fun one, we have to admit) is finding a good hotel to host you during your vacation. A hotel that offers good quality, a price you can afford, and one that leaves you wanting more once you check out. There are quite a few hotels in Phuket that fit this description, but just before you dive into an endless search - let us help you out a little. Here's a list of hotels considered a "safe bet" - choosing one of them will likely put your mind at ease, so you can really start planning your trip.
Sometimes we just feel like really treating ourselves on vacation. That's what we took the trip for, isn't it? If you too believe that on vacation you should go a little easier on yourself and want to stay somewhere upscale - we're with you! We've put together a list of the most luxurious hotels in Phuket, ones that mind the smallest details so you'll feel the luxury and comfort in every corner. If you don't want to go back home after that, we'll completely understand.
When we want to filter hotels by their standard, and we're looking for a high-end hotel, the safest bet is usually the best choice. A five-star hotel is the easy, convenient way to guarantee a great experience and a high level of hospitality - the kind you're very likely to leave satisfied with, and then some. And if you do end up surprised, it'll only be for the better :)
If a high-end experience and hospitality is what you're looking for, let us make it easy for you with five-star hotels in Phuket that we've found for you.
Four-star hotels are usually the choice that balances price against value - a hotel that's of good quality, delivers full value for your money and for what you expected to get for it, where the extra cost of a higher-end hotel doesn't necessarily justify itself. Phuket has quite a few four-star hotels where you can enjoy a wonderful experience. We've gathered the best of them for you.
If a hotel is, for you, just a place to lay your head - because either way you're out touring from one attraction to the next all day - then honestly, you don't need much more than a place that offers just that. The lobby might be less grand and breakfast less generous, but hey, with the money you save you can treat yourself to a great restaurant or gain an extra night in Phuket!
For some people, lodging on vacation is just a function: four walls, a place to drop your bag, a decent bed, and even breakfast is a bonus. If you travel this way, and you'd rather spend your money outside the hotel, just keep in mind that even cheap hotels are worth checking out and booking in advance - mainly so you won't be surprised to find that the room (or the hotel...) you arrived at doesn't exist, and that the price really is the one you saw on the site. Here are a few places in Phuket where you can stay happily without breaking the bank.
We've gathered here for your convenience all the hotels in Phuket that appear on the site. You may see some hotels here that you've already seen above.
If you analyze the travel patterns of tourists in southern Thailand (including Israeli tourists), the vast majority have probably visited, or will visit, Phuket. It's one of the largest islands in Thailand, located in the Andaman Sea off the country's west coast. Being a large island allows it to contain a wide range of areas within it, so it can suit both those looking for the noise and chaos of beach parties and crowded streets, and those seeking peace and quiet on white sand with clear waters. That's why Phuket is a magnet for every type of traveler, from alcohol-loving college kids to families with young children on vacation.
The most famous and busiest area in Phuket is Patong. It's a long stretch of beachfront, along which most of the island's businesses, restaurants, entertainment venues and hotels are concentrated. That's why Patong, and especially the heart of its beach strip, is mainly suited to young travelers and party-goers. It's also why most of the hotels here cater to that crowd, which means accommodation prices there tend to be relatively low. For families, and for those who don't want the hustle and bustle of central Patong but still want to enjoy well-developed tourist infrastructure, it's worth heading a bit south or north of Patong.
If beaches packed to the brim with people, vendors and hawkers put you off, it's worth heading to other beaches. Kamala Beach is a recommended destination for families thanks to its calm atmosphere and beautiful beaches, but keep in mind that hotels there are priced accordingly. This is an area where you'll find luxury hotels and places that will pamper you just as you'd expect from a Thai island. Another beach that can be a great fit for a family vacation is Karon Beach.
Ultimately, given the island's size and popularity, almost every area in Phuket can offer hotels in nearly any budget range. The main consideration here is what kind of vacation and activities you're looking for. Once you choose the area you want to stay in based on these factors, chances are you'll be able to find a suitable hotel on one of the forty-plus varied beaches that surround the island.
This decision, too, depends a lot on what you want from the island. The vast majority of tourists arrive between November and April, since these are the months when the weather on the island is most pleasant. The rise in the number of tourists also leads to a rise in hotel prices and attraction costs, which peak around December through February.
If you're coming to surf, or if you're more flexible with your dates and willing to brave the occasional sudden downpour, you'll find that prices really drop from May through October. The lower number of tourists means far less crowded beaches, and a quiet that's hard to find in Phuket at other times of the year.
