"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 beautiful white sand beaches fringing azure waters, a scattering of historic temples, a cheerful town centre lined with colourful 19th century shophouses and markets slinging everything from street food to spices to 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 Thai restaurants. This versatility makes this 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 madding crowds offering a slew of wonderful options."
Phuket combines white-sand beaches, azure waters and historic temples with a cheerful town centre of colourful 19th-century shophouses and lively markets selling street food, spices and souvenirs. The island balances pin-drop silence and idyllic vistas with easy access to nightlife, buzzing areas and numerous excellent Thai restaurants. Popularity brings many hotels across varied budgets, but private villas provide secluded alternatives in exclusive gated enclaves and hillside retreats. Many villas include infinity pools, five-star views and full staffing such as chefs, drivers and spa technicians. Nine private villas are highlighted as top current booking choices.
