19 Top Phuket Resorts (2026)

Phuket is a stunning region in South Western Thailand, mostly surrounded by the Andaman Sea, known for its long sandy beaches, clear waters and mix of buzzing resort towns and quieter coastal spots. It’s the kind of place where you can choose between high-end beach resorts with sea views, more affordable properties close to restaurants and nightlife, or easygoing family resorts with space to relax. Whether you want something simple and central or a resort designed for switching off by the water, Phuket offers a wide range for all tastes and budgets.

For a romantic break

• Set on a quiet stretch of Mai Khao Beach, SALA Phuket is built for couples who like privacy. The high-walled pool villas keep things discreet, with outdoor tubs and daybeds for long, quiet afternoons together. Dinners are candlelit and romantic, the spa is calm and low-key, and the empty stretch of beach feels like it’s only yours.
• Clinging to a cliff on Millionaire’s Mile, Paresa is all about views and space. Suites feature floor-to-ceiling glass, spa baths and plunge pools facing the sea. Dining is Mediterranean with Thai-influenced dishes, while the spa and quiet hillside setting invite couples to switch off together.
• Keemala suits couples who are looking for something memorable and private. Treehouse-style villas hide among the forest, each with a pool, outdoor bath and round bed. The spa focuses on ritual-based treatments, while dining promises delicious Thai flavours and dishes using garden produce. The adults-only feel keeps the mood intimate and romantic here.
• Small and personal, V Villas is a hillside retreat that feels made for couples. Each villa has an infinity pool facing the bay. Dining pairs Thai cooking with coastal Italian dishes, served in a relaxed setting. Add a quiet spa and calm beach below, for naturally slow and intimate days with your loved one.

For the activities

• Angsana Laguna Phuket is a big, energetic beachfront resort that suits guests who don’t like sitting still. Rooms are modern with colourful art and balconies overlooking the gardens or sea. There’s a huge lagoon pool, several beachfront restaurants, an extensive spa and easy access to golf, diving and water sports right on Bang Tao Beach.
• Akyra Beach Club is all about switching off without getting bored. Spend the day cycling along the coast, doing yoga on the beach, diving offshore or eating seafood with your feet in the sand. Rooms are bright and pared back, with floor-to-ceiling windows and private terraces facing the sea.
• Set high above the water, Sri Panwa feels private and self-contained. Villas are spacious and modern, with glass walls, private pools and deep bathtubs. Days can be as active as you want, with hotel boat rides, diving trips, yoga sessions and a famous rooftop bar that keeps nights lively.
• Hidden in the greenery above Pansea Beach, The Surin has a slower pace but still offers plenty to do. Guests can spend their time kayaking, snorkelling, sailing at sunrise or unwinding at the spa before dinner by the beach. Rooms are traditional Thai in style, with open terraces and sea views through the trees.

For the spa

• High above the Andaman Sea, COMO Point Yamu is calm from the moment you arrive. The spa is known for detoxifying treatments, hydrotherapy and expert massages, paired with daily yoga and pilates. Rooms feel calm and uncluttered, and the long infinity pool is perfect post-treatment. Expect health-conscious restaurants serving clean Thai and Mediterranean dishes.
• Noku Phuket is built for switching off in style. Villas are warm and natural, with wood finishes, soft lighting and private pools made for lazy afternoons. The spa focuses on slow, restorative treatments, followed by steam and sauna sessions. Finish the day with Thai food and sunset drinks on the terrace.
• The Naka Island is all about uninterrupted spa time. Treatments take place in open-air pavilions with sea views, focusing on long massages, body rituals and outdoor soaking tubs. Villas are spaced out and quiet, making it easy to drift from the spa to the beach to dinner without seeing anyone else.
• A calm, grown-up base for spa lovers, Twinpalms MontAzure focuses on recovery and relaxation. The spa offers full day treatment packages, deep-tissue massages and calming therapies. Interiors are understated, with balconies that let you wind down between sessions. The restaurant focuses on Thai comfort dishes and fresh seafood, while beach clubs nearby keep evenings social.

• Set on quiet Natai Beach, Aleenta Phuket is built around rest and routine. Interiors have natural colours and wide glass doors opening to private pools. Wellness drives everything here, from personalised spa programmes to ocean-facing massage rooms, while treatments range from Ayurah therapies to extended body rituals. Dining supports the wellbeing focus, with Thai and Asian dishes designed to feel light but satisfying.
• Hidden near Layan Beach, Anantara Layan Phuket Resort suits spa lovers who still want space and privacy. Villas are warm and contemporary with wood details and shaded terraces, while the restaurant serves refined southern Thai dishes with sea views. The spa is tucked away near the beach, offering long treatments, herbal compresses, aromatherapy, yoga sessions and calm water views.
• Amanpuri's spa is legendary for a reason. Hidden among coconut palms, it focuses on Thai and Chinese therapies in private pavilions used for massage, yoga and meditation. Meals are just as thoughtful, with several restaurants serving refined Thai and international dishes. The villas stay deliberately understated, so switching off and spending most of your time at the spa feels natural.

For family-friendly luxury

• Set above a calm beach, The Nai Harn works well for families who want space without chaos. Rooms feel like chic beach houses, with soft colours, wood details and huge terraces. Dining is a highlight, with multiple restaurants to choose from; there’s easy access to the beach, a relaxed pool, babysitting services, and a sunset bar where parents can unwind.
• Set beside a lagoon on Phuket’s quieter coast, Anantara Mai Khao gives families room to breathe. Restaurants serve popular Thai and international dishes, while kids clubs, beachfront pools and nearby nature parks fill the days. Villas feel open and traditional, finished with warm woods and shaded terraces. 
• Banyan Tree Phuket is ideal for families who want villa living with plenty going on. Large pool villas are tucked into leafy gardens and lagoons, with Thai interior details and outdoor living areas. Food covers everything from smart Thai at Saffron to simple family favourites. While parents hit the spa or nearby golf course, kids have clubs, bike trails and plenty of room to explore.
• Rosewood Phuket keeps things polished but practical for families. Suites are airy and contemporary, with big windows, terraces and plenty of space to spread out. Enjoy beachfront Thai dishes or relaxed international menus, while the kids’ programme, a calm private beach and water sports keep everyone occupied.
