It’s not for nothing that Phuket is called the island paradise. Stunning landscapes, exotic fruits and a huge number of attractions are what attract tourists here. Guests of Phuket will also find a huge variety of hotels. There are fashionable villas, nice hotels for the middle class, and even quite nice little economy options. We will not stay at three-star hotels. Our task is to choose a good hotel in Phuket without going broke. So let's get started!
Features of Phuket hotels
- All inclusive is practically not found in hotels in Thailand. The maximum that they can offer you is breakfast included in the price of your stay.
- As a rule, there are several breakfast options, so even the most demanding tourists will find a suitable option.
- The Thais are very hospitable, so there are practically no problems with service on the island.
- Most hotels are part of the Lodging for Conscious Travel program. This means that they use natural resources as carefully as possible, and do not use plastic utensils.
Phuket 5* hotels
The Surin Phuket
Tourist rating: 9.4
High season price: from 420 € (1 bedroom hill cottage) early booking
We will start the ranking of the coolest hotels in Phuket in 2023 with The Surin Phuket. Why? It's simple, he has a real treasure - his own beach! There are not many such options on the exotic island, so we suggest taking a closer look at it. Tourists here are offered accommodation in a cottage located on a picturesque slope, or in a villa near the shore. Which option is preferable? The choice is yours. But remember that if you choose a cottage on a slope, you will have to overcome ups and downs every day. It's not hard, but after a hearty meal and a glass of wine it can be a little difficult :)
In addition to its own beach, The Surin Phuket has a swimming pool and a SPA center. The menu in the restaurant is very varied. Of course, you will find a lot of fruits and seafood. Want to see the sights of Phuket? The island's capital is a 40-minute drive from the hotel. The center of club life is located even closer - Patong Beach with its numerous nightclubs!
Trisara
Tourist rating: 9.3
High season price: from 1274 € (suite with ocean view)
Another wonderful hotel with its own beach. Trisara offers its guests a simply stunning number of services. Each villa has its own swimming pool, and the hotel has a modern fitness center, SPA and tennis court. You can also go windsurfing, snorkeling and diving here.
The service at the hotel, as tourists note, is beyond praise! Gourmets will be pleased by the presence of a Michelin-starred restaurant on site. This place is so popular that you need to reserve a table in advance. The atmosphere in the restaurant is luxurious, but it is not suitable for noisy parties. Does this hotel have a downside? There is only one - a holiday in Trisara is not cheap at all. But, if there are no problems with finances, feel free to choose this hotel!
It takes no more than 45 minutes to drive to Phuket Town.
Island Escape by Burasari
Tourist rating: 8.6
High season price: from 125 € (Deluxe room)
Is it possible to stay in a hotel on the 1st line in Phuket? Yes, if we are talking about Island Escape by Burasari! Despite the presence of a private beach area, the cost of living here is more than attractive. At a very affordable price, you will have access to a comfortable Deluxe room with a private terrace. Why so cheap? It's a matter of location. This hotel is not located in Phuket itself, but on one of the nearby islands, which, however, does not affect the quality of your vacation at all.
Of course, accessibility is not the only advantage of the hotel. Island Escape by Burasari is a very quiet place, ideal for a family holiday. It is very convenient to come here with children. For younger guests there is a playground and a children's club. And kids also love to splash in shallow pools. Adult tourists can engage in active recreation - cycling, canoeing, etc. Breakfast is available in 3 options: Asian, American or a la carte.
Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa
Tourist rating: 9.0
High season price: from 284 € (Deluxe room with garden view)
Despite the fact that Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa legally has its own beach, it is customary to talk about it as a hotel with a private coastal area. This opinion was formed due to the extremely convenient location. The hotel is separated from the public beach by no more than 50 m. The desertedness of this part of Mai Khao Beach enhances the feeling of privacy.
Location is not the only advantage of Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa. When decorating the hotel, the designers used French windows that fill the rooms with natural light. An outdoor swimming pool and 5 restaurants serving Thai and European cuisine will provide a comfortable stay on site. Want to warm up? Go for a run on the treadmill, do yoga, Pilates or cycling!

JW Marriott Phuket Resort and Spa
Tourist rating: 8.8
High season price: from 381 € (Deluxe room with balcony)
This hotel is perfect for families with children! Why? Yes, because it has its own turtle nursery on its territory.

Twinpalms Phuket
Tourist rating: 8.9
High season price: from 299 € (Premium Palm room)
On the Internet you can find a mention that this hotel is located on line 1. Let's be honest - whoever says this is not entirely right. Twinpalms Phuket is indeed only 175 m from Surin Beach, but it does not have its own coastal zone. But there is an excellent seawater pool in the shape of a lagoon, which will be an excellent alternative to the beach.
The hotel rooms are divided into 2 categories - the more affordable “Premium” Palm and lofts. It is noteworthy that even regular rooms have everything you need for a comfortable stay, including bathrobes, hairdryer, iron and antibacterial hand gel. There are three restaurants on Twinpalms Phuket. The grill bar operates in two areas - indoors and outdoors near the pool.

The Pavilions

It's no secret that the best views are from higher elevations. Perhaps that's why The Pavilions' private suites and villas are located on one of the highest points in Phuket.
