Freedom Beach, which is both gorgeous and secluded, is an exception. With wonderfully smooth white sand and crystal blue waves, it is one of Phuket's most beautiful beaches. It's only a few minutes from Patong Beach, the island's busiest beach, but it's surprisingly tranquil and quiet. Freedom Beach has a special atmosphere due to its unusual location.

Patong Beach is considered to be the party capital of Asia as it has got everything for a fun filled experience. Tourists will come across crowds all the time, who get to enjoy tons of adventure activities like swimming, surfing, parasailing, and more. Apart from all these, this beach gets a clean and sandy shore offering a notable nightlife experience.

Considered to be the lifeline of Phuket’s nightlife, Bangla Road is one of the most happening destinations in the city. While the road is mostly quiet during the daytime, it comes to life once the sun has set.

Located at the southern end of Ton Sai Bay, Long Beach is one of the most laid back destinations for holiday makers who look for a tranquil escapade during vacation. Nestled under a canopy of palm trees, the Long Beach is a favourite of beachside tourists who look for walking in the soft, white sand of the seashore and indulge in various adventure sports. It is the only beach in Phuket where you can enjoy snorkelling directly from the beach. Stunning coral reefs and colourful marine life nestled under the shallow turquoise waters make Long Beach a diver’s dream destination. Being located at a walking distance from Tonsai Village tourists have easy access to the bars and restaurants and enjoy an electrifying nightlife with good food, music and dance.

Banana beach is one of the few beaches of Phuket that is still relatively untouched by human interference. It's fine white sand and clear blue waters give the beach a calm and peaceful look.
