"Forget Phuket's reputation as a backpacker's paradise. There's a whole lot more to Thailand's largest island than its nightlife scene, with a clutch of white sand beaches fringing azure waters, a scattering of historic temples, a cheerful town center lined with colorful 19th-century shophouses, and markets slinging everything from street food to spices and knick-knacks for your suitcase. Whatever you seek from an island getaway, you're sure to find it here."
"Phuket's charm lies in how it balances pin-drop silence, idyllic vistas, and gorgeous shorelines with easy proximity to lights, buzz, and plenty of fabulous restaurants. The versatility makes it a popular area for tourists, so there's no shortage of excellent hotels. However, for a secluded stay away from the crowds, look to a private villa instead. This area has various exclusive gated enclaves and hillside retreats far from the crowds, offering a slew of wonderful options."
