For the sun lover the beaches of the beautiful island of Phuket offer sandy white expanses with balmy weather and a unique ambience. Irrespective of whether you seek solitude or lively recreational pursuits, Phuket will not disappoint.
Patong is the best-known beach on the island. If you desire lively nightlife and vibrant entertainment, this is the place to go. Hundreds of bars, restaurants, cabaret entertainment and go-go bars promise plenty of non-stop revelry. The busy streets, gleaming neon signs and frenetic atmosphere of Patong will delight those who seek urban excitement.
Another attractive option is Kata Beach with its lovely palm-fringed sandy expanses, appealing restaurants and lively nightlife. In season surfers congregate here to catch the waves and during the sunniest part of the year the location is popular with sunbathers.
On the other hand Karon Beach projects a very different ambience with its side lanes housing a community of Thai artists with their small huts, art galleries and pubs where they pursue their interests. You will also find numerous good cafes and restaurants, handicraft boutiques and a broad avenue on the beachside which is ideal for a leisurely stroll.
Meanwhile the beaches of Kamala with their picturesque white sandy expanses are very popular with sunbathers, and you can also try out snorkelling at the venue’s northern end during the greater part of the year. Towards the southern part of the area you may rent sunbeds and bask in the tropical sunshine.
Surin Beach may be described as a more high-end venue with many classy restaurants and attractive wine bars. The site resembles a seaside village with its exquisite sapphire waters and pristine beaches attracting locals and foreign visitors alike. It is a great place to enjoy a chilled drink and savour freshly grilled barbecue seafood.
Not to be missed is Bangtao Beach where luxurious resort properties are located not far from traditional Thai villages. The locale’s northern stretches still remain untouched by large scale development and is an ideal place for secluded relaxation. At the centre of Bangtao you will find the vast Laguna Phuket resort complex.
The selective visitor seeking luxury hotel resorts will be pleased by Anantara Hotels, Resorts & Spas. These fine luxury hotels offer well-appointed accommodations and an array of facilities.
