Selecting a Holiday Package in Phuket

Phuket is the largest island in Thailand, and is located in the south of the nation’s island chain. It is known the world over for incredible beaches and beautiful white sandy shores. Many international travelers visit the island of Phuket for vacations each year, with many of them heading to resorts area like Patong and Karon. While many travelers organize their own flights, accommodations and activities personally, you can often find great deals on packages to help you bundle everything you love about Phuket into one great adventure. For those who want to explore as much as possible in their vacation, Phuket holiday packages are an option. If you’re looking for a package deal in Phuket, here are some of the kinds of tours you’ll have to choose from:

Phuket Spa Packages
For the best deal on spa treatments while in Phuket, try to find a package that bundles your hotel room with special treatments that interest you. The Horizon Karon Resort and Spa, for instance, offers a 4 night package that includes all of the following in addition to your room: complimentary fruit basket in the room, welcome drinks, buffet breakfasts, airport transfers, a Swedish massage, foot massage, aromatherapy salt glow, detox, jacuzzi use, and unlimited teas and juices. Packages like this can save you money overall if you plan on enjoying several spa treatments.

Phuket Honeymoon Packages
Perhaps the best way to enjoy a honeymoon in Phuket is with a honeymoon package. Depending on your departure location, you can bundle flights into the package, or just opt for a hotel honeymoon package. These will generally include a honeymoon suite at one of the many upscale resorts, and a complimentary welcome gift of a chilled bottle of champagne and a bouquet of roses for the newly married couple. Enjoy breakfast brought up to your room each morning, and luxury dinners for two each night. Opt for packages which include a couples massage for a truly luxurious and intimate experience.

Phuket Golf Packages
For the ultimate golf enthusiasts, nothing could be a better way to spend your vacation time than enjoying 18 holes at one of Asia’s highest ranked golf course. There are several packages that include a chance to hit some balls at the Phuket Blue Canyon Country Club. The Marriott Hotel in Phuket offers a package including a guest room and a complimentary breakfast before you head out to play golf. This package includes 18 holes on not one but two separate courses-the Phuket Blue Canyon Lake Course, and then the Phuket Blue Canyon Course.

Phuket Sightseeing Packages
A sightseeing package is perhaps the best say to see Phuket, as you will have a knowledgeable guide leading the trip and letting you know the history of the area as you travel. Book a package with included airport transfers for added convenience. Pick and choose the included activities, including things like ATV rides, safaris, elephant treks, spa visits, or traditional and cultural entertainment shows. Many hotel packages offer these sightseeing adventures with their standard rooms, and also include buffet breakfasts or dinner meals in the price.
