Regions of Phuket
Phuket is a large region, made up of many sub-regions that have become popular tourist destinations. The most iconic destination in Phuket, Patong Beach is renowned for its party atmosphere, pristine beach and wide range of restaurants, bars and nightclubs. It also offers quite a number of markets and stalls but can get quite crowded during peak tourist season due to its popularity.
Karon Beach is not as intense as Patong but still enjoys a lively atmosphere with an excellent selection of shopping, dining and entertainment options. One of the more family friendly regions for Phuket holidays, it offers a wide range of affordable accommodation as well as luxury options.
Surin Beach is far more relaxed than Patong with less crowds making it ideal for families, couples and honeymooners wanting to enjoy some quiet time. All accommodation is located close to the beach and visitors enjoy a wide range of water sports including swimming, surfing, snorkelling and kayaking. Consider Phuket travel deals to take advantage of some of these pre-booked activities.
Bang Tao Bay is a spectacular beach location home to a number of large and luxury holiday resorts as well as fabulous shopping and dining. Activities offered in this region are to be leisurely enjoyed including golf, horse riding, snorkelling, diving and of course shopping.
Kamala Beach offers the best of both worlds with a relaxed atmosphere that is still close to the nightlife and shopping precinct. The pristine sands of the delightful bay rest at the edge of a fishing village and is said to be one of the most beautiful places to holiday in Phuket.
Cape Panwa is a peaceful getaway offering picturesque views of Chalong Bay and Lone Island and is ideal for swimming. The waters are safe and the southwest beach remains unspoilt despite urbanisation in other areas. A great place to see the local children at play.
