Alluring turquoise waters, pristine white sands and delightful vibes galore — a couple's trip to charming Phuket means a slew of romantic things to do await to grant you the island getaway of your dreams. Savour all that Phuket has to offer and experience the idyllic Thai island wallowed in love.
Who wouldn't kick off their holidays in Phuket without getting a taste of the island's picture-postcard beaches? Literally no one! Sure, the things on offer on the charming island are plentiful, but it would be no Phuket holiday without frolicking on those pristine, sugary white sands and your feet kissing those turquoise blue waters, especially when it is a couples getaway. So, answer the calling of the breathtaking seas and treat yourself to some immersive beach basking, soaking up the soul-relaxing scene.
Crystal-clear waters, year-round sunshine, colourful corals and schools of tropical fishes — it would be a pity to fly halfway across the world to Phuket, spend a vacation and not experience the alluring waters that surround the lovely island. Throw yourself in a snorkelling suit and hit the welcoming waters to uncover the treasures beneath the tropical blue. Share romantic moments and create lovely memories together in the enchanting world underwater to make for a memorable getaway that you'll cherish for a lifetime.
Romantic getaways in Phuket are not always about wallowing in love. For those adventurous lovebirds, the slew of islands in close proximity around Phuket, including Phi Phi Islands, Koh Khai Island and Mosquito Island, make the Thai island a fantastic destination to engage in some exciting island hopping. Get aboard a boat and set sail into the wide-open seas to explore some of the scenic, uninhabited islands that await your discovery.
No matter what romantic activity you embark upon, your holidays in Phuket wouldn't be complete without getting a taste of the delectable authentic Thai cuisine. Indulge yourself in an assortment of mouth-watering traditional dishes, such as Tom Yum Goong, Kaeng Lueang, Khao Pad and Khao Soi, and treat yourself to an exploration of local cuisine with your loved one. Let your taste buds savour the authentic blend of flavours to unleash the true foodie in you.
Last but not least, surprise your inamorato or inamorata by signing up for an intimate couples massage. The slew of Phuket luxury hotels with world-class spa and wellness facilities, including the likes of Anantara Layan Phuket Resort, makes it an unmissable experience on any romantic trip to the idyllic Thai island, be it the grand postnuptial time away or a long-awaited romantic getaway. Let your body, mind and soul wallow in rejuvenation like never before.
