Pair island viewpoints with a beach outing, then leave room for a relaxed night out.
Phuket for couples works well if you like a day of coastal lookouts followed by an island outing and indoor stops. Day one moves from Kata Viewpoint to Khao Khad View Tower, finishing at Promthep Cape for sunset views when skies are clear. Day two pairs Banana Beach with Phuket FantaSea and Aquaria Phuket, so check the aquarium hours before fixing the evening. Arrange the boat outing and return first; keep time by the water and at viewpoints adaptable to the weather. Kata Beach, Bang Tao Beach and Patong Beach are the three base areas to compare.

At Phuket’s southernmost tip, this high rocky cape looks out over the sea and is known as a sunset-viewing place. Save time to enjoy the changing light if the sky is clear.
