With the endless sand beaches, blue waters and epic sunsets, a trip to Phuket is remarkably romantic! If you are planning a honeymoon here, there are no shortage of memorable sights and activities you can see and do. Instead of just lounging around at your resort, we recommend taking a few days to do some island excursions! It is easy to get around Phuket with public transit, or by renting an ATV, motorbike or car! Here is our list of the top 5 things to do! 
  • Head to the Beach
  • Scuba Diving 
  • Have a Relaxing Massage 
  • Wat Suwan Khiri Wong
  • Watch the Sunset at Karon Viewpoint

Head to the Beach

The number one activity chosen by locals and tourists are to head to a beach. Phuket has no shortage of beaches, but we highly recommend visiting Pa Tong, Karon or Kamala!  If you are looking to get off of Phuket, why not consider going to one of the six small islands nearby? They are open year round, we we suggest going to Phi Phi Island! There are hundreds of beaches in Phi Phi for you to choose from, many of them with private bays.

FANCY SEAFOOD? THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE PLACE TO BE!

There are plenty of food options if you decide to stay at the resort. Even though they are known for specializing in seafood and Thai food, feel free to make special requests (vegan, vegetarian, gluten free, whatever you want!).

Wat Suwan Khiri Wong

Definitely one of the most popular tourist attractions in Phuket are the Buddhist temples.
