Phuket is by far the most popular resort destination in Asia, and with well over 1,000 hotels and resorts it can be a challenge to plan the right trip for you. As you probably know, Phuket is a large island in southwestern Thailand that is made up of about 20 different beaches and resort districts. This means that finding the right area is important in order to have the best time possible.
Patong Beach is the most famous and most crowded area of Phuket, and it’s home to well over 200 hotels, including about a dozen 5-star resorts. This area is also famous for shopping and raucous nightlife, so it’s ideal for some but better to avoid for many others.
At Phuket Beach Luxury we aim to help each traveler find the perfect area and perfect resort to fit their style of holiday. Some areas are very quiet and tranquil, while others are more active and family oriented.
Fortunately for all of us, Phuket offers great holiday value as well. It may be one of the more expensive parts of Southeast Asia, but it’s much cheaper than similar luxury available in the Caribbean or on the Mediterranean.
While the standard hotel rating system only goes up to 5-star Deluxe, Phuket Island has many resorts that easily deserve a 6th star. The island has about 65 5-star hotels, including over a dozen that are some of the best resorts in all of Asia if not the world. 
As the largest island in Thailand, Phuket has over 1,000 resorts and hotels that are spread on over a dozen beaches. The island is nearly 50 kilometers from north to south, with most of the crowded areas near the south, while the airport is way up north. As a result, many people prefer Phuket resorts near the airport for a few different reasons.
While Phuket Island is known for having some of the most beautiful tropical holiday beaches in the world, there’s something endlessly appealing about also being able to swim in a crystal freshwater pool. For the ultimate in luxury, many resorts are building private pools for each villa for a combination of privacy and convenience that it’s hard not to love.
Phuket is a large island known for many of Thailand’s best and most famous beaches, but only a small percentage of its thousand or so hotels are actually on the sand. Even with about 60 five-star hotels in Phuket, more than half of them have large suites and villas perched on hillsides overlooking the sea, but without direct beach access.
Patong Beach in Phuket is one of those places that people tend to either love or hate. On this beautiful and touristy island, Patong is by far the most developed and commercial, and that makes it ideal for many things and terrible for others. Finding a really nice luxury resort in the Patong Beach area can be tricky, because the town is dominated by 2-star and 3-star guest houses around the edges, and loud bars and nightclubs in the center.
The island of Phuket is one of the world’s premier tropical holiday destinations, with more than 1,000 resorts and hotels, but that can make finding the perfect one a bit complicated. There are over 60 Phuket resorts that are rated as 5 stars, ranging from pleasantly luxurious to totally over the top. If you are taking a romance holiday like a honeymoon you’ll want to stay at a resort that is designed for couples rather than for families with kids.
Phuket has gained a reputation as a tropical holiday wonderland with over 1,000 resorts and hotels set on or near more than a dozen different beach areas, but that has also made finding the ideal resort more complicated. Among the 60 or so 5-star resorts, many are best suited to romantic couples, but there are at least 30 that are specifically designed with families in mind, the best of these listed below.
In spite of its growing popularity as a spot for tropical beach holidays, the island of Phuket continues having some of the cheapest 5-star resort prices in the world. Out of over 1,000 resorts and hotels on the island, around 60 of them claim to be five stars at least on one of the major hotel scales. This competition means that room rates can be very reasonable, at least in the off season months.
