The Amanpuri is one of the finest resorts in the world — the original Aman resort, opened in 1988, set on a private headland above Surin Beach with 40 Thai pavilions and 30 private villas, extraordinary service and the most beautiful setting in Phuket. The resort is the benchmark for luxury in Southeast Asia and is consistently rated among the top hotels in the world.
Laguna Phuket is the largest luxury resort complex in Phuket — five hotels (including the Banyan Tree, the Angsana and the Cassia) sharing a 1,000-acre estate with a lagoon, golf course, spa and beach. The complex is excellent for families and couples who want a wide range of facilities within a single resort. The Laguna Phuket Triathlon is held here annually.
Surin Beach is widely considered the most beautiful beach in Phuket — a wide, curved bay with golden sand, clear water and a backdrop of casuarina trees. The beach has a sophisticated atmosphere and is popular with the Phuket expat community. The Catch Beach Club and HQ Beach Lounge are the finest beach clubs in Thailand and are located directly on Surin Beach.
Surin and Bang Tao have the finest beach clubs in Thailand — the Catch Beach Club (at Bang Tao) and HQ Beach Lounge (at Surin) are internationally renowned for their food, cocktails, music and atmosphere. The beach clubs are the most glamorous in Southeast Asia and attract a sophisticated international crowd. The Sunday brunch at Catch is legendary.
Bang Tao Beach is the longest beach in Phuket — a 9km stretch of white sand that is far less crowded than the beaches further south. The northern section of Bang Tao is the most peaceful and natural; the central section has the Laguna resort complex; the southern section merges with Surin. The beach is excellent for long walks and has a spacious, uncrowded feel.
The Twinpalms Phuket is one of the most stylish boutique resorts in Thailand — a beautiful, design-led resort on Surin Beach with excellent restaurants (the Orient Express restaurant is one of the finest in Phuket), a stunning pool and a sophisticated atmosphere. The resort is the best choice for design-conscious travellers.
Surin and Bang Tao have the finest restaurant scene in Phuket — the resort restaurants (Amanpuri, Twinpalms, Laguna) are exceptional, and the beach clubs serve excellent food. The Surin Plaza has several good restaurants and bars. The quality of dining in this area is significantly higher than anywhere else on the island.
Boat trips to Phi Phi Island, James Bond Island and the Similan Islands depart from nearby piers. The Similan Islands (world-class diving and snorkelling) are most conveniently accessed from the north of Phuket. Several luxury yacht charter companies are based in the area.
