5 Stars Hotels in Phuket

Luxury reigns in Phuket’s array of five-star hotels and room rates are comparatively reasonable by international standards so do indulge if you can as you’ll find some of Thailand’s best hotels on the island.

There are almost 50 five-star hotels in Phuket and they are scattered throughout the region rather than being concentrated in certain areas. Whilst there are five-star options in the tourist-centric area of Patong, for instance, you’ll be treated to even more choice if you opt to stay away from the crowds in some of the quieter neighbourhoods. Ko Yao Yai, Sa Khu, Laguna and Kamala are just a few of the areas with five-star hotels available; you’ll find that many establishments off the beaten track have private beaches available too.

A wide selection of independent boutique hotels to choose from in Phuket sits alongside a handful of renowned international chains such as Banyan Tree, Six Senses and Anantara. A few of the five-star hotels offer specialised services such as spa retreats and even eco-friendly holidays for environmentally conscious travellers. If you’re travelling with kids in tow, you’ll find a selection of family-friendly luxury getaways, whilst solo travellers and romantic couples will be able to find beautiful Phuket hotels that are able to cater to their needs too.

What unites all of Phuket’s five-star hotels is luxury, exceptional amenities and plenty of space – many rooms on offer in these top of the range establishments enjoy 50 square metres and more of space. Suites and villas with private pools are common phenomena in these resorts and there is generally always plenty of opportunity to upgrade to something bigger, more opulent or with a better view.

It’s not uncommon for a Phuket five-star hotel to feature in-room iPads, deep soaking bath tubs and Egyptian cotton sheets. Infinity pools, extensive fitness centres, onsite restaurants and occasionally even an onsite nightclub are often features of these ultra-luxury establishments, meaning that there’s no reason to ever leave the resort – an important feature if you do find yourself away from the traditional tourist spots.
