The 10 Best Hotels in Phuket, Ranked

This is big beachfront resorts almost all the way down, spread across Karon, Bang Tao, Patong, Kamala, Cape Panwa and Rawai, with one social hostel in Patong sneaking in to break the run of pool villas and spas. Banyan Tree is the one I'd name if money's no object, sitting top three on its private pool villas alone.
