Adventure: Phuket serves up the type of activities that are sure to make your friends jealous and provide the perfect photo opportunities.

Relaxation: if this scenery doesn’t wash all your worries away, there is not much more we can do.

Hydration: for these purposes we’ll consider hydration to be synonymous with happy hour and to our previous point, it does not get much more relaxing than a beach-side cocktail. Also, good for putting out the fire caused by our next Phuket favorite.

Delicious eats: forget your sunburn, it will be your taste-buds that are on fire after enjoying some traditional and spicy Thai food. Even after you leave you’ll be feeling these dishes, if only because you find yourself craving more.

Culture & history: we’d be remiss if we did not mention the wealth of experience beyond the sand in Phuket. Even the most devoted beach bums will be thrilled they took the time to venture beyond the shores.

James Bond Island: can you tell we have beach on the brain? Seriously though, if it is good enough for 007 it is certainly good enough for us. Be sure to bring your camera because this scenery will impress more than just movie enthusiasts.

We think you get get the picture, literally, Phuket is fabulous. So, now that you’ve gathered all your board shorts or bikinis- you’re ready to jet off to paradise. With fares from $399* we’re happy to get you there, service from Brisbane began Sunday. Meet you on the beach!
