Phuket
Days 1-2 · 2 nightsOn Phang Nga Road, in the Sino-Portuguese old town, 10 km from Patong. You choose this boutique hotel to sleep among the shophouses rather than on the beach, and stroll in the evening without a car.
Opened in 1929, it is the oldest hotel in Phuket; its lobby served as a set for the film The Beach.
€70 a nightSee on Booking →A boutique hotel on Ruamchai Road, 1 km from the centre of Patong. You sleep away from the noisiest streets while still walking to the beach and the boat departures.
€75 a nightSee on Booking →On the hill above Patong, 500 m from the town centre. The slope keeps the bustle of the street at a distance, and Patong beach is still a few minutes' walk away for families.
€70 a nightSee on Booking →A design hostel for the Phuket stop, a communal option on a modest budget. You sleep here between outings, reefs in the morning, the old town or the Big Buddha in the afternoon, without committing much to accommodation.
€25 a nightSee on Booking →A large hotel on Muen-Ngern Road, on the Patong beach side, 1.7 km from the town centre. You gain a foothold on the bay, a little away from the crowds of central Patong.
€185 a nightSee on Booking →On the cliff north of Patong, 1.4 km from the town centre. The height filters out the noise; you go down to the beach and climb back up to the quiet in the evening.
€150 a nightSee on Booking →Villas on the cliff at Kamala, 5.5 km north of Patong. You deliberately move away from the bustle, for a stay focused on the Andaman Sea and the sunsets.
