You will have the time of your life on Thailand's largest island. You can enjoy white sand beaches and crystal-clear waters during the day, while entertaining shows and parties take over at night. Does that sound perfect to you?
We've got the top things to do that you need to put on your itinerary.
The Big Buddha is an important monument on the island that sits 45 metres tall and rests on top of a mountain, meaning you can see it from miles away. The base of the Big Buddha provides excellent scenery, offering 360-degree views of the island and ocean. Discover the Big Buddha with skip-the-line access or with a half-day walking tour around Phuket that includes a stop at the iconic landmark.
Phi Phi Island is not far off the coast of Phuket. It features picturesque views of limestone mountains and bays surrounded by vibrant blue waters. Snorkel to see coral reefs, visit Monkey Beach to hang out with the animals and bask in the sun at Maya Bay.
If you're looking for some time to zen out while in Phuket, head to a spa and get pampered with a sansabai massage and a range of relaxing treatments, including a flower and milk bath that you'll find at the 5-star Burasari Phuket Hotel.
Head to Surf House Phuket and practice your surfing skills on a wave simulator with a trampoline-like surface. Choose from a one- to three-hour session and catch the waves on the Double FlowRider, whether you're a beginner or a pro. Surf House Phuket is located next to Patong Beach, eateries and nightlife.
Choose a land adventure or scuba diving experience in the sea, accessible by hotel transfers that will pick you up from your accommodation and take you around. Visit local temples, challenge yourself with water rafting and trek to waterfalls during an adventure that will get your adrenaline pumping. If you're looking to try something new, dive in the Andaman Sea around Racha Noi and Yai, known for its coral reefs and marine life including tropical fish and turtles.
Explore the rich culture and history of Phuket with a sightseeing tour. Visit Buddhist temples such as Wat Chalong, explore the Sino-Portuguese architectural surroundings and get transported to the best vantage points to take in the incredible views.
Get picked up from your hotel and transported to the market to pick up ingredients for your cooking class. Enjoy serene views as you make classic Thai dishes, before settling down and tucking into your cooking creation while overlooking incredible scenery.
Choose between stadium, ringside and VIP seating and settle in for a night of live entertainment at the largest Muay Thai venue in southern Thailand. You'll get transferred to and from the establishment, so all you have to worry about is enjoying the Muay Thai boxing live experience.
After a day at the beach, why not wind down with a stroll through a night market? Take in the local culture with traditional performances and entertainment, try the local cuisine and check out the Thai handmade goods.
Phuket is no stranger to the party scene and promises partygoers a great experience out on the town. Hop between bars in Patong, while meeting new friends and checking out the best spots with music sets from international DJs. A Full Moon Party experience on Paradise Beach delivers one of the most energetic nightlife experiences in Thailand. Dance the night away under the full moon and be amazed by live entertainment including fire dancers and DJs playing throughout the night.
