7 Most Romantic Hotels in Phuket
What are the most romantic hotels in Phuket? This is another frequent question we are happy to answer. Here are the best hotels we actually experienced in Phuket. We know there are more but we only write about places we personally stayed at, so watch this page as it grows.
Phuket is an amazing destination for a couple and has so much to offer. You can stay in one of the most exclusive villas on the island, take a cruise to more idyllic islands, go party if you want to, have a candle light dinner right on the beach… and the list goes on and on. We wrote a couple of pages about romance in Phuket and the most romantic restaurants in Phuket. But most of all, you need the right hotel and Phuket certainly has some amazing villas to enjoy. We tried all the hotels on this page, and will try some more. So here is the list of our favourite romantic hotels in Phuket.
1 Trisara Villas
(Location: Naithon Beach)
Secluded and luxurious, Trisara is known to be one of the ultimate romantic resorts in Phuket.
Why we like it:
- Very large villas with large infinity pools with superb ocean views
- Almost complete privacy (not 100% in all villas)
- Incredible villa design, some even have in-house spa table
- Staff is extremely well trained
- Excellent restaurants with superb sunset view
What you should know:
- Trisara is quite isolated (45 mn from the famous Patong/Kata/Karon beaches)
- Beach is small
- Price is obviously high

2 Sala Phuket Resort
( location Mai Khao Beach)
Sala Phuket Resort on Mai Khao Beach is one of our favourite resorts on the island. It really is a romantic resort entirely designed for couples and if it does not come cheap, it still is relatively affordable.
What we love:
- 100 % privacy in your villa
- Very large pool with own garden and sun loungers
- Fancy outdoor bathroom with huge open air bath tub and sofas.
- Villa nicely designed with very high ceilings
- The hotel is on a superb 11 km deserted beach
- Very large common pool and restaurant near the beach
What you should know:
- Pool can be cold in low season!
- The villas are surrounded by high walls for a total privacy so don’t expect any views
- Mai Khao is a little far from everything (which can be a positive point when on a romantic break)

3 The Shore at Katathani
(location: Kata Noi beach)
What we love:
- Superb villa design with incredible views of Kata Noi Beach right from your bed!
- Good size private infinity pool with embedded Sala and loungers. You can walk from your bed to the pool
- Set above one of the most beautiful beaches of Phuket, great for swimming and snorkeling
- Large common pool and restaurant above the beach
- Overall the hotel has beautiful setting.
What you should know:
- The private pools are not 100% private so naked swimming is not recommended
- The villas are on a hillside so if you are not fit, you will need to call a buggy (which is actually ok)
4 Six Senses Hideway Yao Noi
(Location: Koh Yao Noi)
Six Senses Hideaway Yao Noi on Koh Yao Island is not your usual ‘Phuket Resort’, it is a destination in itself. Designed for couples in search of an escape from the stress of the big city, this is a perfect hideaway for a romantic holiday…
What we loved
- Unique setting on a remote luxuriant island with striking views of Phang Nga Bay
- Villas are build entirely with natural materials
- Beautifully designed rooms with large wooden terraces and private pool surrounded by foliage
- Superb restaurants
- Private transfers by boat from Phuket island are a cool way to immerse you into your romantic holiday
- Very large and excellent spa
What you should know
- No real beach, just a small sandy area
- Not much to do around so you probably will spend most of your time in the resort
- The photos used by the hotel to advertise are shot from the very expensive top floor suite. The view from your room will be a lot more limited
