Best Hotels in Phuket (2026)

Choosing where to stay in Phuket depends on the kind of trip you want, because the island's areas feel very different. The north-west coast, around Cherngtalay, Bang Tao and Pansea, is home to the most secluded luxury resorts. Trisara has private pool villas above its own beach and the Michelin-starred PRU, and Amanpuri sits on a peninsula with a holistic wellness centre. Keemala, on a hillside above Kamala, is known for its tree pool houses and other unusual villas. These areas are closer to the airport but further from Phuket Town and the southern sights.

Families often choose the south-west beaches, where Katathani Phuket Beach Resort fronts a long stretch of Kata Noi Beach and has a water park and kids' club. Patong is the most convenient base for nightlife; Lub d Phuket Patong offers dorms and private rooms within walking distance of the beach. For culture and food, stay in Phuket Old Town: The Memory at On On Hotel dates from 1927, Casa Blanca Boutique Hotel has a courtyard pool, and Xinlor House is a simple budget choice on Dibuk Road. Book ahead for the dry season, roughly December to April, and for the autumn Vegetarian Festival in town.
