A selection of the best hotels in Phuket on the first line and with access to private beaches. Convenient location, high marks and good reviews from tourists - these are the criteria that we used in the selection.
Especially for those who want to spend a luxurious vacation in Thailand, not skimping on funds, we have selected the best hotels in Phuket with their own beaches. In this case, private beaches should not be understood as private beaches (there are no such beaches in Thailand - all beaches are municipal), but adjoining directly to the hotel. The fact is that it is forbidden to build anything on the beaches of Thailand, so the majority of hotels are located either across the road and further (from 100 meters), or very close to the beach. These are the hotels we are considering.
Below are the best, according to tourists' reviews, hotels in Phuket on the 1st line on such popular beaches of the island as Patong, Kata, Kamala, Karon and Bang Tao.
The selection was compiled taking into account the following criteria:
- convenient location (1 line);
- maximum proximity to the beach;
- positive reviews of tourists and high marks.
All options were found on the Roomguru search engine (independent travelers can book a hotel in Phuket there) and the Travelata service (for those who prefer tours) - we recommend using them for searching and booking accommodation. The prices in the article are indicated per night in a room for two people and are current at the time of publication.
If you are still undecided on a resort, read our Phuket vs Pattaya comparison, as well as an overview of prices in Thailand.
Patong Beach
The largest selection of accommodation in Phuket is on Patong Beach. It is home to numerous bars, cafes and restaurants, and the nightlife is in full swing. In Patong, you can find accommodation for every taste and budget - from inexpensive guesthouses for 400 baht per night for two to luxurious villas with a rooftop pool and stunning views of the bay.
In the central part of the beach, all hotels are located exclusively across the road, so you need to pay attention to its northern and southern parts: they are hilly, and often hotels offer free buses to the center of Patong. Living in such hotels is very comfortable: solitude and peace reign in them.
Amari Phuket 4 *
Luxury apartments and rooms with sea views at the elite Amari resort, which deservedly can be called one of the best hotels in Phuket, are in demand among vacationers.

This four-star hotel is located in a very convenient location in the south of Patong Beach, but at the same time in seclusion - on a small rocky promontory. Amari has earned a very high rating (9 out of 10 over 4 thousand reviews).

Karon is perhaps the second busiest beach in Phuket. It is quite easy to find accommodation here, but the offers are much less. There are no hotels on the beach itself - they are all across the road, and only some have access to the beach.
