Because it always comes down to personal preference, the way to determine the best beaches to stay in Phuket for you is to arm yourself with the knowledge of what the immediate surroundings of a particular beach offer so you may make an informed decision of which areas are most likely to satisfy your expectations. All areas offer resorts for all budgets, all offer recreational opportunities and family friendly facilities like kids clubs, but the atmosphere and things like proximity to nightlife and shopping opportunities of each location may differ significantly.

Below we offer an abbreviated guide of the most famous and beautiful beaches which we hope will to some extent guide you to .to a location you will most enjoy. We do need to point out that these are only the primary areas. Between them are many other bays and coves which feature fabulous resorts, luxury 5 star hotels, private pool villas and romantic places to stay. Because choosing the best location for your requirements is so important for a successful holiday we invite you to contact us should you require more detailed advice.


Patong Beach

Located in the center of Phuket's west coast this is the heartbeat of the island with a pulsating nightlife sporting countless clubs, bars, restaurants and markets. It also has more formal shopping opportunities like the Jungceylon Mall selling flashy brand names, has movie cinemas and pastimes like ten pin bowling. Stretching 3 km it is the best beach for swimming and offers exciting water sport activities.

If you do like things vibrant, to be amid the bustle and near entertainment and nightlife Patong is undoubtedly the best area to stay. It  does not matter if you are a young couple or family traveling with children, because this is not only a place for adventure seeking singles. If you are traveling with kids places like Holiday Inn, Phuket Graceland and Grand Mercure offers the ideal facilities and accommodation for families.

You can also enjoy privacy moments outside the buzz with many hotels in Patong offering tranquil settings and great views. Check out names like Kalima Resort & Spa, Sea Pearl Villas, Avista Hideaway, Indochine, Diamond Cliff, B-Lay Tong and La Flora Resort which are great for couples and families. Fabulous 4 star accommodation at places like Amari, The Charm and Burasari is walking distance from the action.

Karon Beach

Just over 3 km long and located 5 minutes by tuk tuk south of Patong, Karon is the ideal alternative to the busier Patong scene. It is no less popular than Patong and has no shortage of its own attractions, bars, restaurants and nightlife hang-outs, though not quite as intense as Patong. Karon beach hotels are centrally located and popular with families and couples, partly because of the areas' family friendly hotels like Movenpick, Centara Grand and Centara Karon Resort while places like Centara Villas offer affordable romantic private pool villas for couples.

Kata Beach

You will find the most fabulous hotels in Kata Beach 5 minutes further south from Karon. It has a reputation as being the most beautiful beach in Phuket on the west coast and is divided into main Kata and Kata Noi at the upper northern end. With a prevailing tranquility without being too secluded or too quiet, Kata charms visitors with glittering white sands lined with palm trees adding to that tropical island vibe.

If you prefer things just that little more exclusive and laid back, head for Kata Noi, a mouthwatering beautiful cove separated from the main bay by a rocky headland. It is in our opinion a great honeymoon destination and the best place for couples who want a romantic setting without disturbances and still be able to easily access attractions. Another characteristic of this area is that if you want a hotel directly on the beach with no road separating you from the soft white sand, this is where you will most easiest find what you are looking for.

Nai Yang Beach

If you prefer seclusion, peace and tranquility and to be surrounded by pristine nature, Nai Yang is a hard one to beat. It is located to the far north of the west coast, almost an hour from Patong and right next to the environmentally protected Srinath National Park. A plus point is that it is not next to a main road like most other beaches and therefore creates a very rural and authentic feel. It features one of the top spa resorts on the island namely Indigo Pearl, which by the way is also the only resort in this area with a seaside setting. There are a few shops along the waterfront, local restaurants you have to try and also a trendy club, bar and restaurant.

Mai Khao

At approximately 11 kilometers Mai Khao is the longest ribbon of sand on the island and since it is also far north and adjacent to Nai Yang it is quiet, bordering on deserted and perfect to escape the crowds and anything familiar. Lately it does feature a few vendors and of course luxury hotels like Sala Phuket Resort and Spa, Renaissance Resort and Anantara Villas, all of which are romantic hideaways.
