While there are plenty of honeymoon destinations to choose from, none of them does it quite like Phuket. But to truly appreciate its unique blend of natural splendour, culture and adventure, arriving prepared is key. Here are some important practical considerations that ensure your Phuket honeymoon comes together without a hitch.
What is the Best Time to Visit?
The dry season (November to April) is typically the best time to be in Phuket. At this time, the weather is pleasant, there’s more privacy, and the deals are better at top accommodations like Layan Residences by Anantara. You can also aim for the peak season (December to February), but this is also when the prices are higher, and the crowds are bigger.
How to Choose Your Accommodation
Phuket offers more than one type of accommodation, so you can choose between intimate boutique rooms, luxury resort suites and private pool villas in Phuket. The key is to pick a place that caters to your preferences as a couple. Think of what you both like in terms of amenities, wellness and accessibility to attractions, and choose a property that caters to all of it.
Planning Your Itinerary
There’s so much to do in Phuket – romantic cruises, thrilling water sports, temple visits, and island day trips. But it’s important not to cram your itinerary. Instead, figure out what you want out of your honeymoon – relaxation, cultural immersion, or adventure – and tailor your itinerary accordingly, while leaving room for some quiet moments of rest in between.
What to Pack For Your Getaway
A good rule of thumb is to pack light but smart. Bring breathable, weather-appropriate clothing and include appropriate pieces for cultural encounters, swimming, adventures and elegant evenings. Other essentials to include are sun protection, basic first-aid and, of course, all your essential travel documents.
