Must-visit districts in Phuket 🏖️
Phuket is, above all, an island of breathtaking beaches, and trust us, every single one boasts its own distinct personality! From the lively tourist shores of Patong to hidden coves reachable only by boat, and even the vibrant historical charm of Old Town, we've gathered our favourite spots and insider tips just for you.
Patong Beach: the vibrant heart of Phuket
Patong Beach is a world-renowned spot, famous for its vibrant party atmosphere! This sprawling 3km stretch of golden sand is the beating heart of Phuket, with hundreds of sun loungers lined up as far as the eye can see, bustling street vendors, thrilling water sports, and a festive vibe from morning till night. During the day, you can go jet-skiing (be sure to haggle!), try parasailing, go paddleboarding, or go diving. Alternatively, you can simply work on your tan while sipping on fresh coconut cocktails.
But it’s really in the evening that Patong reveals its true party spirit! The famous Bangla Road transforms into a festival of neon lights, music, open-air bars, clubs, and shows, with a simply unique atmosphere that carries on until the early hours. For the party animals among you, Patong Beach is an absolute must!
Kata Beach: A paradise for families and surfers
Kata Beach is a real Trip.com favourite for families! This stunning crescent-shaped beach offers everything you could dream of: soft, fine sand perfect for sandcastles, and clear, shallow water for several metres! In short, it’s paradise for relaxing and enjoying some quality family time!
But Kata isn't just about soaking up the sun; it's also *the* number one surf spot in Phuket! Oh yes, from May to October during the southwest monsoon, the waves can easily reach a thrilling 2-3 metres, attracting surfers from all over Asia. Several surf schools offer fantastic beginner lessons (expect to pay around 1500-2000 baht for a 2-hour session). If you've never tried surfing, this is truly the ideal place to get started!
📌 Trip.com tip: Kata is actually divided into two distinct beaches: Kata Yai (the big one), which is the liveliest, and Kata Noi (the little one) just to the south, which is even more peaceful and intimate.
Karon Beach: Expansive Sands and Endless Tranquility
Karon is the second longest beach in Phuket, with nearly 5km of white sand stretching as far as the eye can see! What’s truly great about this place is that you never feel crowded despite the influx of tourists, even during the peak Christmas-January season. You can walk for kilometres, lay your towel down anywhere and still have plenty of space to yourself – what a luxury!
The southern end of the beach near the Hilton offers some great snorkelling spots with tropical fish and coral (no need to go far!).
Phuket Old Town: The Sino-Portuguese charm of Phuket
Phuket Old Town offers a total change of atmosphere! Leave the beaches and bikinis behind to dive into the island's fascinating history and culture. This historic district is brimming with stunning Sino-Portuguese buildings—remnants of the golden age when Phuket was a thriving tin-mining hub during the 19th and early 20th centuries.
The three main streets (Thalang Road, Dibuk Road and Yaowarat Road) are lined with colourful shophouses featuring facades of pastel pink, sky blue, bright yellow, mint green... It’s an architectural rainbow!
The atmosphere here is truly unique and quite different from the rest of Phuket: there's street art all over the walls, Chinese temples with burning incense, free museums, vintage boutiques, and local markets where Thai people actually come to do their shopping (not just tourists!).
📌 Trip.com tip: Make sure you visit on a Sunday afternoon for the Thalang Road Sunday Walking Street Market (known as "Lard Yai" by the locals)! From 4pm to 10pm, the entire street is pedestrianised and transformed into a huge, bustling market filled with delicious local street food, handmade crafts, free street performances, and a truly festive atmosphere.
Freedom Beach: The secret beach (well, almost)
Freedom Beach is something of a legend in Phuket – the kind of place people only speak about in hushed tones! Tucked away just south of Patong but completely secluded by the hills, this 300-metre stretch of sand is widely regarded as one of the island's most beautiful spots, boasting ultra-fine white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters.
What makes it so unique? It’s only accessible in two ways: either by longtail boat from the south of Patong Beach (expect to pay 1,000-1,500 baht, depending on your haggling skills and the size of your group), or via a super steep and challenging jungle trail (a 700-metre steep descent through the forest, with a 200 baht entry fee).

Phuket Town Phuket|12.4km from city centre
Overall, I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The staff were courteous, the property was clean, and everything else met my expectations. The only downside was that the rooms were quite compact.
One suggestion for improvement would be to have a designated smoking area on every floor. Currently, the smoking areas are only on the rooftop and the ground floor. Since my room was located far from the lift, it became a bit inconvenient to travel up or down every time. Adding a smoking area on each floor would make the stay much more comfortable for guests who smoke.From£30

Kamala Beach Phuket|11.65km from city centre
If youre looking for a sleek, ultra modern 5 star resort, this may not be for you. But if you want authentic Thai hospitality, traditional Thai-inspired architecture, lush tropical surroundings, and a peaceful beachfront escape, this resort is absolutely worth it.
I stayed here as a solo traveler and had one of the most relaxing stays Ive experienced. Its also perfect for couples, honeymooners, and families.
I was pleasantly surprised with a complimentary upgrade to a sea-view hillside cottage even though I booked one of the more affordable room categories. The private beach was the main reason I chose this resort and it was exactly what I was looking for, quiet, uncrowded, and perfect for relaxing. I also loved the petting zoo, the beautiful pool, and the delicious food. Every staff member we encountered was warm, welcoming and genuinely helpful.
Special thanks to Ms. Chuty and Ms. Kat at the front desk for making our stay even more memorable. They assisted us during checkout, kindly reminded us about a few belongings we had accidentally left in the room without ever making us feel rushed, and even allowed us to extend our stay until 12:30 PM, which we truly appreciated. Since our flight was later in the afternoon, they also arranged lounge access so we could comfortably wait in an airconditioned area until it was time to leave. Their kindness and thoughtfulness really reflected the genuine hospitality of the resort.
I also appreciated the complimentary refreshments in the lobby, the beach bag provided for guests, the convenient buggy service, and the fact that ordering GrabFood was easy.
My only suggestion would be to upgrade the TVs to Smart TVs. Other than that, everything exceeded my expectations. This resort may not be the newest, but it’s clean, wellmaintained, peaceful, and full of character. If you appreciate nature, privacy, and heartfelt service over ultra modern luxury, you’ll absolutely love staying here.
Thank you Thavorn Beach Village Resort & Spa for making my birth truly a special and memorable. ♥️From£64

Patong Beach Phuket|10.97km from city centre
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay! It's better to book rooms from 48 sq m and up. We had a 30 sq m room, which was a bit small. Our windows faced the mosque, but it wasn't an issue; we're sound sleepers and didn't hear anything. Maybe a tiny bit, but nothing critical. It's a city hotel, exactly as described. We really loved the staff! Almost everyone was responsive and friendly. The reception, the male room service staff, and the ladies at dinner were all fantastic finds. A special thank you to the chef! The dinners were absolutely delicious. We were very satisfied. We chose from the menu, and the Caesar salad and fish were simply amazing! 😍From£25

Kata Beach Phuket|19.24km from city centre
Booked this hotel based on online recommendations, but ended up in the old section. To make matters worse, the room wasn't even cleaned by 3 PM. Walking in and seeing traces of previous guests immediately put me in a bad mood. The old section is quite dated, and for the price, it definitely didn't feel worth it. I wonder if the new section is any better.From£53

Rawai Beach Phuket|23.35km from city centre
The resort has 2 pools, and most rooms are pool-access. The price before Chinese New Year was 440 a night, which is decent value for money. It's very close to Rawai Beach, with a 7-Eleven and sea-view restaurants right outside. Now for the downsides: 1. No clothes rack in the room, so no way to wash and dry clothes. 2. The hotel doesn't offer breakfast. 3. For a family of three, there's an extra charge of 150 THB for the child, but no extra bed is provided. 4. I subtly got the feeling that Chinese guests aren't particularly welcome. This is just my personal feeling and for reference only.From£17

Phuket Airport Phuket|14.68km from city centre
A nice little hotel for a rest after a long journey!
I chose this hotel with my child so we could quickly get there after a long flight. Our plane landed at 11 PM. By the time you clear passport control, get picked up, and take a shower, it's already 1 AM.
This is a good option! The linens are clean cotton! There's hot water! A 7-Eleven and massage place are a leisurely 7-minute walk away. They change the linens, towels, and water every day. We needed two days to recover, and extending our stay was easy. The pool is clean. Breakfast is European style: omelets, sausages, ham, some Thai dish (chicken in sauce), rice, toast, croissants, jams, butter, coffee, tea, cocktails, juices. It's a perfectly good breakfast. The cost is 250 (baht, presumably).
Of course, if you're used to staying in luxury hotels and have high demands, you might want to think twice. I've stayed in various categories of hotels, from four-star resorts to beach bungalows. I've been to places where they didn't change the bed linen. Here, it's clean, and the staff are incredibly welcoming and lovely! Everyone is ready to help. Everyone always smiles. Many reviews mention drawbacks, but I won't even discuss those. It's clean, clean, clean, and the staff are as welcoming as can be.
It's a good place to rest after traveling, get used to the local vibe a bit, and acclimatize to the warmth! All user photos of the hotel are accurate; I'll add a few more myself :)From£16

Karon Beach Phuket|17.94km from city centre
The hotel is in a convenient location, with many restaurants, massage shops, and a 7-Eleven within walking distance. The beach is also just a short stroll away. Travel time from the airport is around 1 to 1.5 hours, depending on traffic. Old Phuket Town’s Sunday Night Market is about 30 minutes away by Grab or Bolt.
We stayed in a pool-facing room, which was quiet, and the air conditioning worked well. The pool and water slides were enjoyable, especially for families, although the facilities look a little worn and could benefit from better maintenance. The hotel is doing maintenance and upgrading but did not inform us prior. Please note that the water slides and gym close at 6 p.m., so plan your activities accordingly.
Breakfast was basic, with very little variety during our 4-night stay. It is served in an open-air setting, so birds and flies can be seen around the food. During the first 3 days, the freshly cut fruit and salad were left uncovered, which was not very appealing.
Overall, this is a practical hotel for its location, quiet pool-facing rooms, and family-friendly pool facilities. However, it is best to keep expectations moderate regarding service, maintenance, and breakfast quality.From£54

If you're staying in the annex building, be careful of the long, steep slope. We saw a guest's luggage slide down from there and hit someone. Please make sure to store your personal belongings safely in your room. Other than that, everything else was good, and the pool was great. The room was spacious enough too. Just remember to run the bath water first to make sure there's no yellow discoloration.From£35

Patong Beach Phuket|11.37km from city centre
The hotel indeed has very few Chinese guests, but they were still quite friendly towards us. I'm not sure if it was because they initially messed up my name, or for some other reason, but they upgraded us from a family room to a suite, which was large and beautiful. We were very satisfied with our stay, and there was an ocean view right outside the window.
The hotel environment is nice, but the breakfast is just average. It's not too far or too close to Jungceylon and the seafood market, about a 20-minute walk, but taxis are quite expensive.
The only downside is that it's too noisy at night; you can hear all the sounds from the road and the bars, and the soundproofing is a bit poor.From£50

Patong Beach Phuket|11.22km from city centre
A cozy, medium-sized hotel shaped like a cruise ship. The definite highlight of this hotel is the infinity pool on the rooftop, offering a fantastic view of the city and the sea, especially at night. A DJ entertains guests with music by the pool in the evening. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The only downside for me was having a bathtub instead of a shower. The fridge only contained paid bar drinks. You can walk from the hotel to the beach, passing countless cafes, restaurants, massage parlors, and convenience stores along the way. There are several Russian-speaking channels on the TV. The price is reasonable. I recommend it.From£34

Kata Beach Phuket|18.55km from city centre
The hotel was alright, but not as outstanding as I'd imagined. It felt a bit old, and there was some unknown noise disrupting my rest (it seemed to be construction behind the hotel, though not very loud). Most of the staff were friendly and enthusiastic (especially one named LID). The hotel is about a 3-minute walk from the nearest 7-Eleven and a 13-minute walk from the beach. There are many restaurants and a night market nearby.From£36

This time, I stayed at this hotel during my trip to Thailand.
From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and check-in was smooth. I had some anxieties about traveling abroad, but the staff's attentive service put me at ease and allowed me to relax.
The room was clean and spacious enough for a comfortable stay. The bed was very comfortable, and I was able to fully recover from my travel fatigue. The facilities were well-maintained, and I didn't experience any inconvenience during my several-day stay.
The hotel's ambiance was wonderful, offering a true resort feel that really immersed me in the Thai experience. I particularly loved the stunning scenery and atmosphere around the hotel; it was a comforting space to return to.
The location was also convenient, making it easy to go sightseeing, dine out, and get around the city. The staff were very helpful with transportation like taxis, which was reassuring for my first trip to Thailand.
Overall, the hotel had a calm atmosphere, which I think makes it ideal for those looking to relax during their trip. The staff's smiles and thoughtfulness left a lasting impression, and I truly felt that staying here was a great choice.
A significant part of what made this trip such a wonderful memory was the comfortable stay at this hotel.
If I have the chance to visit Thailand again, I would definitely love to stay here once more.
Thank you for a wonderful stay!From£57

Karon Beach Phuket|17.03km from city centre
It is OK place. The location is close to the beach, restaurants, shops and massage places. The rooms are average, a bit worn. TV did not work properly. The bed sheets were dirty with white stains. But they were quickly replaced when I complained. But still during my stay the fresh towels were stained every second day. So I would recommend to change them the laundry. Also during my stay I had a leak from the room above. I asked the reception to deal with the water my floor. They used one of my towels. I found this very inventive. The breakfast was average. At the end expect they will check your room, so come for the check out 15 min on advance of your taxi to the airport.
The location is very convenient, close to the beach, restaurants, shops and massage places. The rooms are average and a little worn, and the TV in my room did not work properly.
Unfortunately, cleanliness was an issue. The bed sheets were dirty and had white stains when I arrived. They were replaced quickly after I complained, but during my stay the fresh towels were also stained quite frequently, sometimes every second day. I would strongly recommend that the hotel review the quality of its laundry service.
There was also a leak from the room above during my stay. I asked reception to deal with the water on my floor, and, rather inventively, they used one of my towels to clean it up.
Breakfast was average.
One practical point: when checking out, expect the staff to inspect your room before completing the checkout. If you have a taxi to the airport, I would recommend coming to reception at least 15 minutes earlier.
Overall, the hotel is acceptable mainly because of its very good location, but cleanliness and maintenance could definitely be improved.From£29
Top 5 activities and landmarks in Phuket 🌴
Now, let's dive into the highlight activities that truly make Phuket a unique destination! Here are Trip.com's top picks:
Elephant Care Park: an encounter like no other
Elephant Care Park Nai Dee is a truly ethical sanctuary where you can get close to the elephants with total respect for their well-being.
Here, you'll learn the story of each elephant (often rescued from the tourism or logging industries), feed them bananas, sugar cane, and watermelons, watch them bathe in the mud (they love it!), and even take a dip with them in a natural pond.
A typical half-day includes learning about the elephants, feeding them, preparing natural vitamins, and enjoying a mud bath and a dip in the pond. You'll leave with unforgettable photos and, most importantly, a genuine connection with these majestic creatures – all while respecting the animals!
📌 Trip.com tip: Make sure to book well in advance, as spaces are intentionally limited to ensure the animals stay nice and peaceful (maximum 8-10 people per session).
Simon Cabaret: The show that will blow you away
Simon Cabaret is THE must-see show to experience at least once in Phuket! This glamorous and professional cabaret showcases transgender performers (ladyboys) in absolutely stunning lip-syncing, dance, and comedy routines.
The sets are spectacular, the choreography is incredibly professional (you can really tell it’s been rehearsed hundreds of times), and the performers' energy is truly infectious. The show lasts around 1 hour 15 minutes, featuring a series of acts inspired by different cultures and eras: traditional Thai dance, explosive Bollywood, Parisian cabaret with feathers and frills, American musicals, Korean K-pop...
Hanuman World: Adrenaline and zip lines in the jungle
For thrill-seekers and adrenaline junkies, Hanuman World is truly THE ultimate adventure park in Phuket! Set deep within the lush tropical jungle in the centre of the island, this park offers spectacular zipline courses.
The longest zip line stretches for 400 metres and offers an absolutely incredible bird's-eye view of the canopy and the jungle below, with the wind in your hair and your adrenaline pumping!
Phi Phi Islands: Your Tropical Paradise Excursion
The Phi Phi Islands are a true tropical dream for some relaxation—the kind you see on postcards! Located about 45 km southeast of Phuket (allow 45 minutes by speedboat or 2 hours by traditional ferry), these limestone islands offer absolutely stunning landscapes, with towering 200-300 metre karst cliffs plunging into crystal-clear emerald-turquoise water.
The most famous, Maya Bay on Phi Phi Leh island, served as the backdrop for the cult film 'The Beach' starring Leonardo DiCaprio in 2000, and has since become a global icon!
Andamanda Phuket Waterpark: The giant water park for all the family
Andamanda is undoubtedly the must-visit water park if you're travelling with the family! Opened in 2021, this massive park spans 100,000 m² and offers 32 different slides, 17 attractions, and 5 themed zones inspired by Thai mythology. The architecture blends traditional Buddhist temples with Phuket’s Sino-Portuguese style.
The park's star attraction is the 10,000 m² Andamanda Bay wave pool (the largest in Southeast Asia!), with waves up to 3 metres high—just like a real beach, but without the jellyfish. Kids love the Atoll Adventures zone with its 300 interactive water features, giant water cannons, and the famous bucket that tips tonnes of water every 5 minutes (get ready to get soaked!).
There’s also a beautiful 300-metre man-made white sand beach, perfect for relaxing peacefully between attractions. It’s open every day from 10 am to 6 pm.
Phuket, a paradise for Thai food and seafood 🍜
What would a trip to Phuket be without sampling its exceptional cuisine? The island perfectly blends traditional Thai specialities with ultra-fresh seafood from the Andaman Sea!
Must-try dishes:
- Tom Yum Goong: a spicy prawn soup with lemongrass and galangal. That spicy-sour-fragrant blend is seriously addictive!
- Pad Thai: stir-fried rice noodles with prawns, peanuts and lime, created in the 1930s
- Massaman Curry: a mild curry with coconut milk and peanuts, perfect if you're a little wary of chilli.
- Grilled seafood: crabs, lobsters, squid and king prawns, fresh from the daily catch
Best time to visit Phuket ☀️
Phuket has a tropical monsoon climate, so it’s hot all year round! But take note, there are two very distinct seasons that will completely change your experience on the island.
Season | Weather | Reviews | Activities & Festivals |
☀️Dry season (Nov-Apr) | Sunny (24-32°C) | The absolute best time! Blue skies, calm seas, and not a drop of rain. | Loy Krathong, Chinese New Year, diving in the Similan Islands |
🌊Rainy season (May-Oct) | Humid and windy (24-31°C) | Daily showers, rough seas, and red flags | 40% off, surfing at Kata, lush greenery |
💡 Trip.com tip: December, January, February, and March are truly the best times to visit! The weather is stunning with azure blue skies, the sea is perfectly calm—ideal for snorkelling and boat trips—and the atmosphere is festive with the end-of-year celebrations and Chinese New Year, which falls in January or February.
The temperatures are manageable (it’s not yet the scorching heat of April and May), and you’ll be able to enjoy every single activity without exception.
