Southern beaches

Phuket Island is everywhere beautiful but the south part of the island looks like a tropical daydream. The southern beaches offer superb vistas and beautiful sunsets. Many of the best hotels and restaurants in Phuket and some of the most beautiful beaches in the world are located here. The most popular are: Patong, Karon and Kata beach, which you see in an overview on the picture above.

Northern Beaches

The north part of the island is less developed and gets only a tiny fraction of the visitors to Phuket. Miles of unspoiled beaches and good food await you. As you travel north you will encounter beaches dominated with casuarina pine trees rather than palm trees.
