The Land where everyone feels welcome

Glitzy Phuket offers every Western convenience you can think of, and probably several you can't. Celebrity-chef restaurants? Check. Six-star resorts with private butlers? Check. World-class plastic surgery? No problem. If you're the highest of high-maintenance, Phuket is the island for you. Phuket still has some of the most glorious beaches in the islands, it also has cosmopolitan diversions in the form of designer boutiques and world-class restaurants.
Phuket has plenty of great beaches where you can unfurl your towel. The busiest is in the main resort town of Patong. Hat Patong is a fully-equipped beach with sun loungers, sun umbrellas, watersports, beach bars and restaurants. The beaches at Kata and Karon tend to be a little quieter.
In recent months, a string of independent beach clubs have opened along Phuket’s Kata, Kamala, Surin, Bang Tao and Nai Thon beaches, with more to come.

This year-round holiday destination is home to incredible beaches. Although best known for its laid-back lifestyle, beach lounging, yoga, massage and beauty treatments, and its hard trance party scene, Thailand's beaches also offer multitude of other activities – watersports, golf, cycling and hiking – for the more adventurous.
The most welcoming of countries, despite being inundated with tourists and expats, it's the gentle hospitality of local people that is the strongest memory of Thailand for many visitors. A wonderful memory it makes.

From its cultural background to dazzling beaches and luxurious villas, Phuket is an idyllic haven that we guarantee will have everything we, *ahem* you, want in a luxury holiday destination.
 Indulge yourself in any of our villas below, all of them are beach fronts with air con bedrooms, private swimming pools & cooks on call.

Patong Beach
The most famous beach in Phuket, whilst it’s not the most scenic by Phuket’s high standards — and certainly not the quietest — it offers more activities than any other beach and has an unrivaled nightlife scene, so no list is complete without it. By day, it’s busy with tourists renting jet skis, riding banana boats and drinking on the beach and, come the night, it’s party time. Popular with young tourists due to its party atmosphere and close proximity to the neon lights of Bangla Road, you either love it or hate it, but everyone should experience it.

Karon Beach
The rocky area around the south of the beach is a top spot for snorkeling, but for those who prefer a more high-octane activity it’s possible to rent jet skis on the beach too.
Whilst the sand might not be as soft as some beaches, the length of the beach means you won’t be short on space.
The waves can get pretty wild during rainy season, but that doesn’t mean the fun has to stop; nearby, there are a handful of bars that, whilst they might not match Patong, can easily provide an evening’s worth of entertainment.

Kamala Beach
Located just north of lively Patong Beach is Kamala Beach, almost a polar opposite to its noisy neighbour. Its calm, shallow waters make it ideal for families or those who want a relaxing time in the water, and its length means you won’t have to fight for a place to pitch your towel. With a fishing village nearby, it’s retained a sense of authenticity, which is rare in this part of Phuket. Extremely quiet in low season, once high season comes around it picks up a little bit with water activities available, but it’s still one of the most relaxing and quiet beaches on the island.

Kata Beach
At around 1.5km long, Kata Beach is big enough never to feel overly crowded and ensures you’ll always have ample space for a towel on the beach. Palm tree-lined with soft, white sand and plenty of places to eat and drink nearby, it’s easy to see why it’s so popular with tourists and locals. As well as activities such as surfing available, there are plenty of shops nearby to engage in retail therapy, plus resorts if planning on staying a while. With lots of space and so much going on, it’s ideal for families or those who want a break from the more raucous beaches in the area.

Surin Beach
A beach that was once visited by the late King Rama IX in the 50s, it’s since become a playground for the rich and wealthy, with a number of high-class resorts and hotels nearby as well as a golf course. It’s not hard to see why it’s so popular; soft, white sand gives way to a scenic row of palm trees, while the sea itself has both light and deeper blue tones. A word of caution — the sea here gets deeper than in other bays, so be careful if you’re planning on swimming. Other than that, it’s an extremely pleasant beach with a number of good restaurants and bars just a short walk away.

For most of the year, you can expect typical tropical conditions that are warm, clear and humid. Monsoon season generally runs from September through November, when brief, occasional storms bring replenishing showers. However, this season is still full of sunny days.

As the tap water in most areas of Thailand is generally not potable, your best bet is to purchase and drink only bottled water. Most restaurants offer it on the menu as well. If you're experiencing a language barrier, ask for nam kowat, a bottled water.

You've likely encountered Singha, Tiger or Chang. These beers are all brewed locally in Thailand and available everywhere you look. Try the Tiger, an Asian lager, with a spicy dish or a Chang, a malt brew, if you're in the mood for something a little heavier.

The main international airports in Thailand are at Bangkok and Phuket, and both are well-served by intercontinental flights. Practically every airline that flies to Asia also flies into Bangkok, this means there are plenty of services and the competition on the routes helps to keep the ticket prices down.

Markets. Local custom for Thai people includes a visit to the market early in the morning to collect ingredients for the day's meals. Treat yourself to rice porridge or local coffee.
Mountain biking. Guided mountain bike tours are offered. Beginning at the hotel lobby, you'll coast through the streets of Plai Laem Village and past several temples.
Muay Thai. Learn the basics of Thai boxing, an ancient martial art, from a professional instructor. A great workout, the lesson can be tailored to your fitness level.
