The buzziest luxury resort in town is the brand-new V Villas Phuket, strategically built into the hillside overlooking Ao Yon Bay. Book a couples' treatment at COMO Shambala to rebalance together, and choose between Thai and Italian specialties at the property's restaurants for cozy nights in when not venturing out into the city. Here, breakfast in bed is only bested by sharing morning coffee by your personal infinity pool with panoramic views.
For romantic privacy, reserve a private villa. At the southern tip of Cape Yamu in Thalang, COMO Point Yamu overlooks Phang Nga Bay in the Andaman Sea, offering eye-popping vistas from each hotel room.
And with the ever-increasing number of idyllic resorts popping up, this can be a daunting one. Whether you're planning a honeymoon or a well-deserved reentry to world travel in 2022, here's where to sample some of Phuket's supreme spots for LGBTQ+ romance.ĬOMO Point Yamu (Source: COMO Point Yamu)Īmong the most important decisions you'll make for a romantic visit to Thailand is where to stay. As the pandemic loosens its grip on the Land of Smiles, there's a host of romantic experiences beyond the clubs awaiting your visit. Hold hands on the street and share intimate dinners for two in Phuket, which offers far more than the raucous nightlife that made it famous. It's here that the most romantic of Southeast Asian escapes are found, and that ambiance of amour certainly extends to LGBTQ+ couples. While Bangkok is home to the country's largest LGBTQ+ population and is the epicenter of national nightlife, the southern island of Phuket is no stranger to cabarets, nightclubs, and Thailand's infamous ladyboys, and it comes with the added appeal of world-class resorts sprinkled about the province's unrivaled beaches. The most LGBTQ+-welcoming nation in Southeast Asia, Thailand's indefatigable hospitality combines with its abundance of natural splendor, internationally beloved cuisine, and rich culture to provide a destination irresistible to world travelers, especially those among the LGBTQ+ community.
