Phuket’s hotel scene has reached a fever pitch in 2025. While the island has long been a crown jewel of Thailand tourism, it’s currently shining brighter than ever thanks to its starring role in the third season of the Netflix hit White Lotus. Beyond the screen, the island’s allure remains unchanged: crystalline waters, lush tropical landscapes, and more than 30 unique bays and beaches.
Whether you’re looking for a “fly-and-flop” sanctuary near the airport or a jungle-cloaked hideaway in the craggy northwest, here are the best hotels in Phuket for your next island escape.
