Two Nights in Phuket

March 9, 2019 11:30 PM

I'm staying near Phuket on a several weeks long work contract, and when my flight was booked I asked to extend the trip by a couple of days to explore. This trip is kicking my ass and I'm finding myself without the energy/desire to think about planning those last two days. So the question: Have you stayed at a hotel or resort near Phuket that has direct access to an uncrowded beach, great vegetarian friendly food, and massages on site/very close by?

I know that options abound, but I've had a messed up stomach for a week and am working crazy hours and every time I open trip advisor I close it in a panic. I would love a personal recommendation if you have one!

Bonuses: yoga classes, access to low key excursions like kayaking, airport transfer service

Things I don't care about: spa treatments outside of massages, nightlife/anything that happens after 8:00pm, interacting with other humans (joking, kind of)

Budget is flexible, but would like to keep it under $600 which is the cost of changing my ticket to head home early.


Thank you!

If you don't get personal recommendations that work for you, I strongly recommend you look at Travelfish instead of Tripadvisor, you'll get much better advice.

Nai Yang beach near the airport is very quiet and relatively undeveloped for the island. The airport is a five minute drive away.
