15 Best Hotels in Phuket, Thailand | Condé Nast Traveler

"Despite technically sitting in the Phang Nga region just north of Phuket, this resort lures guests who want to escape the crowds. The palm-fringed beach is a tranquil sweep of sand shared with just a few quiet-seeking travelers and some friendly dogs. Contemporary all-white beachside villas, each with large pools and separate-entrance rooms off the main living space, are ideal for groups of friends or grown-up families, while little guests have a small but sweet kids’ club with a shallow pool, slide, and activities like tie-dye T-shirt making. Relaxed beachside lunches and dinners feature comforts like burgers and curries, and the plant-based restaurant Seasons—one of the few in the region—offers a multi-course tasting menu that’s worth the trip even if you’re not staying overnight." - Chris Schalkx, Hannah Summers
