The 28 Best Luxury Hotels in Phuket

In Phuket, the coast often decides what you see from the pool: in the west you swim toward the evening sun, in the east toward the islands of Phang Nga Bay.COMO Point Yamu Phuket · PaklokAbove the sea: If you want to swim with a view of the water at a 5-star hotel in Phuket, you are spoiled for choice. The Naka Phuket has an Olympic-length infinity pool on the beach. At COMO Point Yamu Phuket, a 100-meter infinity pool runs along in front of the limestone rocks of Phang Nga Bay, and at V Villas Phuket you swim in a 22-meter pool high above Ao Yon Bay. Andara Resort Phuket above Kamala has set its 40-meter pool right on top of the cliff.

Laps and quiet: At Twinpalms Phuket near Surin, the 50-meter lap pool under the palms is open around the clock, and from the Lagoon rooms you step straight into the resort’s waterways. At The Slate Phuket on Nai Yang Beach, the Snakeskin Pool, lined with slate, is reserved for guests aged 14 and over. The InterContinental Phuket Resort has an adults-only infinity pool facing the mountains, next to its beach pool under the pines.

Your own pool: At Banyan Tree Phuket, every one of the 218 villas comes with a pool, and the DoublePool Villas have two. At Rosewood Phuket on Emerald Bay, every pavilion has its own pool, and at Keemala Phuket on the rainforest slope above Kamala you can stay in a Bird’s Nest Pool Villa, woven like a nest. Laps or views: our travel advisors find the luxury hotel in Phuket whose pool suits your days.

Thai massage and herbal compresses are part of almost every spa on the island, and some go far beyond that.Amanpuri · Ban Chai NamWellness as a reason to travel: The Holistic Wellness Centre at Amanpuri has twelve treatment rooms, Traditional Chinese Medicine and a Mobility & Recovery Programme by Novak Djokovic. Rosewood Phuket was where Rosewood’s Asaya wellness concept made its debut; the signature Phukej Mantra ritual pairs a pineapple and pearl salt scrub with warm sand compresses. The COMO Shambhala Retreat at COMO Point Yamu Phuket combines Ayurveda and a yoga studio with views over Phang Nga Bay.

Special places: At The Slate Phuket, you lie in the Nest, a woven cocoon hanging from a giant banyan tree. The Surin Phuket scatters its spa cottages across the hillside among granite boulders and jungle. And the Sati Spa at the InterContinental Phuket Resort, named Best Holistic Healing Spa in Asia in 2025, combines Thai massage with Ayurveda, yoga and tai chi.

With medical support: If you are planning a longevity or detox program, head about 25 minutes north of the airport to Aleenta Resort Phuket on Natai Beach, already on the mainland in Phang Nga province. The AYURAH Wellness Clinic measures metabolism and body composition and puts together programs of three to 21 days, with floatation and cuisine inspired by F.X. Mayr. The Mala Spa at Keemala Phuket has eight couples’ treatment rooms by flowing water, with a sauna and steam room.

Prices start at 74 € at Hotel Indigo Phuket Patong and, among the hotels, go up to 1,181 € at Amanpuri; half of the properties cost less than 250 € per night.Hotel Indigo Phuket Patong · PatongThe two staffed villas follow a different logic: Villa Amarisa Phuket from 2,700 € has five bedrooms for up to twelve adults, Villa Mayavee Phuket from 1,870 € has four. Both come with a private pool, a chef on request and a 500 € concierge credit per stay; spread across several bedrooms, the price looks quite different. The table lists 25 properties, from the north coast to the islands and from a boutique hotel in Patong to a staffed villa. The other luxury hotels in Phuket appear with their current price in the hotel list below.

What’s included everywhere: Every hotel includes daily breakfast for two, at Rosewood Phuket for example at Red Sauce, at Amanpuri at Buabok or in your room. There is also an upgrade subject to availability, usually on arrival; at Rosewood Phuket and the Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort it is confirmed at booking. At 21 of the 28 properties the benefits apply from the first night, at the others from two nights, at Villa Mayavee Phuket from three.

When it comes to hotel credit, it pays to look closely. Many properties add one, usually US$100; Rosewood Phuket gives US$125, some smaller resorts US$50. At Amanpuri the credit is for the spa, US$250 from a villa, and at the Hyatt Regency Phuket Resort for food and drinks.

What individual luxury hotels in Phuket add: The Surin Phuket includes a 60-minute Thai massage for two, 90 minutes in suites and villas, and The Slate Phuket a private hour of Thai boxing. At Keemala Phuket, lunch for two is included, and at Amanpuri there is afternoon tea every day, plus airport transfers from three nights.

At The Naka Phuket, the extra depends on the category: free-flow cocktails at The Meka sky lounge, afternoon tea with the Napa Suite or a floating breakfast with the Pool Villa. At Iniala Beach House Khok Kloi, suites get a half-day trip to an elephant sanctuary with lunch, rooms a 50-minute spa treatment per person.

Points and status: At 19 of the 28 luxury hotels in Phuket you collect points in a loyalty program. Marriott Bonvoy applies at six properties, for example The Naka Phuket, ALL (Accor) at four, including Banyan Tree Phuket, and IHG One Rewards at three, including the InterContinental Phuket Resort. Add the Leaders Club, World of Hyatt, I Prefer and Fans of Mandarin Oriental. With the Leaders Club, for example at The Nai Harn Phuket, points count when you give your membership number at booking.

When it’s most beautiful: From November to April it is mostly dry, and on the west coast the sea is calm and clear: time for beach days and boat trips. From May to October, Phuket shows its green, relaxed side; downpours often pass quickly, and long spa afternoons and cooking classes come into their own. For Christmas and New Year, it pays to book early.

How long to stay: For Phuket, we recommend at least a week, ideally split between two properties. Many guests combine two 5-star hotels in Phuket: a few nights on the west coast, then a few on the east coast or on one of the islands.
