What Can Couples Do in Phuket Together?

Be it the grand postnuptial getaway or a long-awaited couples' holiday, Thailand’s largest island, Phuket, abounds with intimate and romantic experiences galore. The idyllic tropical island, blessed with stunning beaches, breathtaking sunsets and authentic cultural activities, sets the perfect atmosphere for couples to connect and create unforgettable memories. Here’s what you and yours can embark upon on your visit to Phuket to make a blissful tropical island getaway like never before.

Indulge in Beach Bumming

The palm-dotted, sugary white sands are the obvious highlight of the tropical Thai island. As a matter of fact, it is the island’s string of picture-postcard beaches that single-handedly put Phuket on the map for most, if not, all its travellers. Therefore, it goes without saying that beach bumming is an unmissable experience to be had on your Phuket getaway. Take your pick from the seemingly endless Mai Khao Beach, the widely popular Patong Beach, the lesser-known Ao Sane Beach and the whole host of other sandy beaches that call Phuket home and indulge yourself in some much-needed seaside bliss.

Go Snorkelling

The turquoise blue waters surrounding the island of Phuket play host to a plethora of fun and exciting water sports, but snorkelling remains an unwavering favourite among travellers to the Thai island, and rightly so. The crystal clear waters, combined with striking coral reefs, schools of tropical fishes and the region’s year-round sunshine, make Phuket an excellent snorkelling destination. So, mask up and hit the alluring waters to discover the beautiful and fascinating that the world underwater has in store for you.

Enjoy a Private Beach Dinner

For couples vacationing in Phuket, romantic dining is a quintessential holiday experience that is not to be missed. Many hotels and resorts, including the likes of Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas, offer candlelit dinners on the beach, with the gentle sound of waves providing a perfect backdrop for a romantic evening. Indulge in an assortment of mouth-watering delights and delicacies under the starry night sky, creating exquisite moments that make your Phuket getaway one that is truly memorable.

Embark on an Island-Hopping Adventure

Craving a dose of exciting adventure? Island hopping makes the perfect adventure activity for those avid explorers looking to get out and about on the idyllic Thai island. Hop aboard a boat and set sail into the wide-open seas on an exciting island-hopping adventure. The Phi Phi Islands, James Bond Island and Similan Island are among the most popular destinations for island hopping from Phuket, but if something more tranquil and secluded is what’s on your mind, Koh Kaeo Yai or Koh Maphrao islands won’t disappoint.

Take in the Sunset at Promthep Cape

As the sun goes down and the azure blue skies slowly fade away, nothing makes for a tranquil evening on the Thai island like the sunset at Promthep Cape. Trek your way to the peak of the seaside vantage point and take in breathtaking views of the golden vault of heaven over the tranquil waters of the Andaman Sea — exquisite and intimate moments as good as they get.

Stroll down Phuket Old Town

While the island’s picturesque seaside is what draws the crowds, Phuket has a whole lot more to offer than just sugary white sand and turquoise waters. Take a break from the virtually endless beaches and head inland to Phuket Old Town for a change in scenery. Authentic experiences abound in the charming old-world quarter, where a leisurely stroll along the atmospheric streets and cobblestone alleyways will take you back to the Phuket of centuries past. Come, explore beautiful Phuket hand in hand, losing yourself in the quaint charm.
