Nature clearly did not stint, creating Phuket - the malachite waters of the Andaman Sea in the silvery rim of the sandy coast, all shades of green, noted in the abundant vegetation and the azure sky mixed with the golden sun - the setting is the most suitable to get away from reality. The island shines with happiness, charging everyone who has been here. To keep guests satisfied, the resort spaces are built up with hotels for all possible requests and claims, from inexpensive motels to royal hotels, and here the problem of where to stay in Phuket simply does not exist.
Despite the fact that Phuket is considered a rather expensive Thai resort, it is one of the most versatile places designed for tourists of any level, wealth, age and aspirations. You can find everything here: parties until you drop, and beach therapy, and endless excursions, and spicy shows, and much more, if you wish.
Phuket districts
You can settle in Phuket in many places, each of which has attractive sides and features. Some areas are famous for their luxurious beaches, others for spectacular sights, and in others, active adventures are better than others.
Almost all resort areas, one way or another, are tied to nearby beaches, around which cafes, bars and hotel complexes have grown. It makes no sense to study them all, we will consider only a few.
It can be noted right away that the farther from the cities, the cleaner and quieter the beaches, the more comfortable the hotels and the more opportunities for a measured rest in harmony with nature.
Phuket Town
Sugarpalm Suan Luang by Nongrit
He is Phuket City, he is also the capital of the island. The city, which is dominated by the Chinese population, offers vast spaces for walking, entertainment, educational research and other activities.
There is a lot of Portuguese colonial architecture in Phuket Town, perhaps even more than in real colonies. They are competing with Chinese temples, which prevail over Thai pagodas. In the city, you can visit the Philatelic Museum, Phuket Museum, the Museum of Chinese Life and much more, you will definitely not be left idle here. There is also a beach in the city, although it is clearly inferior to the suburban coast.
All kinds of festivals, performances and even trance shows are held. It makes sense to live in Phuket Town if you want to stay in the epicenter of entertainment and party life, travel between clubs and discos, indulge in a bohemian lifestyle.
Of the places where to stay in Phuket, 3-4 stars hotels prevail, there are very few fives, although there are those offering panoramic views of the sea from the room, spa therapy, swimming pools and other luxuries.
Most of the inexpensive hotels are located on the third line from the beaches. An impressive number of guest houses and hostels are open for inexpensive accommodation. In general, the resort is focused on budget accommodation and economy tourists.

Patong
Phuket Graceland Resort
The busiest, longest, noisiest, most popular and versatile beach in Phuket. The beach is strewn with white sand and covered with a dense layer of tourists - this is not the place where you can enjoy the silence and enjoy the absence of neighbors for tens of meters around. Both day and night, the beach does not remain alone - in the morning crowds of rich "seals" roast here under the sun, after sunset parties and discos unfold, and the coast, together with the nearby Bangla Road, turns into one continuous dance floor.
The beach is equipped with sun loungers, there are all water activities, equipment rental and sale, and in general, in the vicinity of Patong you can find everything your heart desires, so it is not necessary to get out to neighboring resorts. Massage salons, restaurants, cafes, disco and bars, shops, spas, shopping centers, tattoo parlors and much more.
The question of where to stay in Phuket also does not cause any difficulties, there are so many hotels and hostels in the district that there is enough for more than one resort, even in the high season there are free places. Hotels from modest and ascetic to luxury complexes with appropriate furnishings.

Kalim Beach
Di Pantai Boutique
Kalim Beach is closely adjacent to Patong, but this area is much quieter. The two-kilometer stretch of coastline is abundantly strewn with stones, which scares off tourists. Although you can find clean sandy areas here, so tired of the noise of Patong, vacationers looking for peace, head here.
But the water near the beach is surprisingly clear and clean, which makes the place ideal for snorkeling, diving, and in summer also surfing due to the frighteningly high waves and riot currents. But there is nothing to do with children here because of the rocky bottom and the choppy sea. There are no shops, bars and active entertainment, but there are plenty of quiet cozy restaurants and cafes where you can sit and admire the fabulous sunset. There are not many hotels, but usually there are enough for everyone, prices are reasonable, in addition to hotels, there are many comfortable apartments.

Karon Beach
Baumancasa Karon Beach Resort
A very beautiful wide beach with mixed color sand - white embankments are densely mixed with golden ones, creating a striking effect. There are strong and unpredictable currents in the sea next to the beach, which attracts extreme lovers and athletes. But for vacationers with children or poorly swimming guests, it is better to look for another place to stay in Phuket, since there are plenty of them.
However, poor conditions frighten few people and Karon is traditionally overcrowded with people wishing to plunge into the depths of the sea, and housing in the vicinity is quite expensive. The best hotels are located along the first line. Further you can find cheaper hotels, mini-hotels and guest houses.
Karon Beach is always a lively and colorful area, but at night it turns into something crazy, which is facilitated by discos and karaoke bars.

Kata beach
Kata Beach Resort
Kata Beach belongs to the best beaches in Phuket and its resort areas. The atmosphere on the beach is very calm, suitable for a measured holiday. Having settled down in the shade of an umbrella, you can take a nap to your heart's content, without fearing that your peace will be disturbed by playing holiday-makers or children - there is enough space for everyone on the wide bank.
But when choosing a place to stay in Phuket, there are nuances. A fence stretched along the entire length of the beach, forcing tourists to make a detour. Therefore, it makes sense to settle on the outskirts of the coast.
All summer and a good half of autumn, multi-meter waves reign on the beach and surfers flock here, and in the tourist season, the area is filled with family vacationers.
The geographical location makes Kata convenient for any excursion and research. For walks, there is a beautiful promenade with cafes and other elements of service. Outside the fence, guests will find hotels of all price requirements, including luxury complexes.

Kamala Beach
Aquamarine Resort & Villa
Kamala is a full-fledged resort town with a long coastline and full equipment. The area is ideal for living with children and any company in general. But first of all, people come here for a beach holiday and relaxation, surrounded by the tropical beauty of Thailand. Kamala - the beach is very long, with white soft sand. Many stretches are wild and rather muddy, but in the landscaped areas everything is in order with entertainment and umbrellas.
Actually, the city itself offers a typical range of tourist services - cafes, bars, restaurants, shops, rental points, excursions, discos, so boredom and monotony are not about Kamala. A continuous line of hotels stretched along the beach. There are a lot of hotels in the resort, according to tradition, the most expensive are located by the sea, those that are cheaper - in the central part of the city.
You can find respectable establishments offering to stay in Phuket surrounded by regal luxury and care. Terraces overlooking the sea, spacious rooms, equipped according to the latest service standards, gourmet restaurants, massage parlors, spa and yoga, relaxation in pools and thermal baths, hot tubs, and all this without leaving the hotel.
You can also stay in hostels for the price of a day bed rental or in a small cozy hotel with a moderate price and a friendly atmosphere.
