Phuket is a large island, and choosing a beach is choosing a holiday. Patong is loud, cheap and busy; Kata and Karon are family-friendly; Bang Tao and Surin are where the smart resorts sit; Rawai and Nai Harn are quiet and local. Getting between them takes 20–60 minutes by taxi, so pick one base rather than planning to roam.
Per night for two adults, taxes and fees included where the property reports them. Based on the 372 bookable properties we found for a two-night midweek stay a month ahead.
