If you're heading to Thailand and want to spend your days relaxing on gorgeous beaches or lounging poolside, heading to the island of Phuket is a necessity. Although all-inclusive resorts are less popular here than destinations in the Caribbean or Mexico, there are some available for travelers who want to simplify their vacation. Take a look at our picks for the best hotels with all-inclusive packages in Phuket and start planning your getaway!
The Village Coconut Island is a fun and self-contained, all-inclusive, luxury resort with a private beach. The property is only accessible via a water taxi (it runs 24/7), which can feel like an adventure or a chore depending on the traveler (and weather). Once on the island, guests stay in beautiful villas with kitchenettes, swim in the infinity-edge swimming pools, dine at the threerestaurants, and play on the private beach. There's an on-site spa with a hydrotherapy pool. Occasional power outages and charges for extra drinking water can put a damper on the festive island spirit that's usually found among the couples and families who stay here.
On a prime seaside location along a quiet stretch of Kata Noi Beach, this 479-room luxury resort looms large, with six pools, bars, and restaurants across the grounds. Spacious suites in the Thani Wing face the Andaman Sea, but other rooms in the Bhuri Wing are looking tired and need renovation. Catering to families and couples, Katathani is jam-packed with recreational activities, a beachfront spa, a fitness center, a Kids' Club, and other features. But it's somewhat isolated from any other entertainment in the area. All-inclusive packages are available.
Le Meridien Phuket Beach Resort is a huge, self-contained complex surrounded by lush jungle that looks out over its own sandy beach. The hotel's large size can make it feel a little impersonal, but its scale does mean a vast array of facilities, including an enormous pool and a range of sport facilities. Spacious rooms have been sleekly renovated and many include lovely sea views. All this doesn't come cheap though, and you might also find yourself paying for plenty of extras -- including Wi-Fi -- if you book the room-only rate.
