Lined with stunning beaches and exquisite resorts, Phuket offers visitors to enjoy some rare luxuries. Here’s how to wine and dine and holiday in style during a getaway on the island.
Time the Trip
Those who are planning a luxurious getaway to Phuket should first and foremost time their holiday to coincide with the perfect weather conditions. The peak tourist season from November to February is the best time to visit the island although the period from March to May is also ideal for those who wish to avoid the crowds.
Cruise Around
Chartering a private yacht and spending time cruising around the coastline is one of the best things to do in Phuket. This VIP tour not only allows visitors the chance to set sail but also to pencil in snorkelling sessions or scuba diving expeditions during the trip. The true joys of exploring a private cruise are the chance to discover the secret bays and mangrove forests occupying the island.
Pamper Yourself
As one of Thailand’s most popular spa retreat locations, it should come as no surprise that Phuket is home to some of the finest healing centres and luxury spas in the country. Whether one is based at the Avadina Hills by Anantara or any one of the other luxury villas for sale or rent on the island, you will never be too far from a spa facility offering signature treatments.
Hit the Skies
Take to the clouds and get a bird’s-eye view of Phuket on a one-of-a-kind helicopter tour. Several local tour operators offer these luxurious aerial encounters that provide breathtaking views of the Phi Phi Islands and Phang Nga while those who wish to try a tandem paramotor flight should enlist the help of Sky Club Asia.
