Phuket has long been a favourite among travellers – and it's easy to see why. When you think of a getaway to this island peninsular, you can almost feel the warm sea breeze and soft, sun-kissed sand beneath your feet. But beyond the well-trodden tourist spots lies Karon Beach – Phuket’s longest expanse of pristine white sand overlooking the breathtaking Andaman Sea. 

Perfectly blending the right amount of tranquillity and adventure, Karon Beach’s crystal-clear waters are ideal for dipping your toes in the surf on long beach walks while its sand is warm and inviting, perfect for sunbathing and a little you-time. However, because it’s Phuket, there’s a fair share of activities to be had too, from snorkelling and jet-skiing to vibrant beachfront dining and exceptional resort stays.

Thavorn Palm Beach Resort is one of those resorts, standing out among its peers as an ideal host for that getaway you’ve been dreaming of for so long. This five-star resort blends old-world charm with tropical tranquillity, encompassing the soul of the beach on which it sits, with inviting, lagoon-style pools, spacious colonial-style rooms and direct beach access.

And while it’s not the most modern resort in Phuket, its peaceful vibe and welcoming service makes it a solid pick for families, solo travellers and couples – so long as your idea of a getaway is all about sun, sand and serenity.

A resort for every type of traveller

Finding the perfect stay isn’t always easy, but Thavorn Palm Beach Resort strikes a balance that works for just about everyone. 

For couples seeking a peaceful retreat, the resort’s intimate spaces play host to moments of romance, laughter and memories. Imagine sipping sunset drinks by the pool, enjoying private dining under the stars or simply unwinding to the sound of soft surf as the sun sets over the horizon.

Solo travellers are also not ignored, with a multitude of activities to keep you active and social. Think wine-tasting classes and evening cocktails on the beach – Thavorn Palm Beach Resort works hard to keep social events both regular yet not intrusive.

For families, the spacious rooms and kid-friendly menus make Thavorn Palm Beach Resort an easy win. Little ones can burn off energy at the kids’ club, meet furry friends at Animal Village or splash around in nearby waterparks, promising plenty of excitement for them and also some well-earned downtime for parents.

And if any of the above need to do business while they’re away, then the resort’s high-speed internet, fully equipped meeting rooms and nearby access to commercial zones make digital life streamlined and easy.

Karon Beach: A place like no other

With those details out of the way, let’s not forget why we come to places like Phuket – the beach! 

Whether you’re a fish to water or prefer to stay dry, there’s no denying Karon Beach is a stunning part of the island. Spanning over 3km with a wide, powdery-white shoreline, it’s a destination in itself no matter where you stay. 

And unlike the packed shores of Patong, Karon keeps things blissfully laid-back, giving you plenty of room to stretch out in the sun, take a dip in the warm water or casually soak up the sunset with a cocktail in hand.

Staying at Thavorn Palm Beach Resort means having Karon Beach as your backyard  – quite literally. With direct access to Phuket’s longest, most scenic stretches of sand, it's a prime contender for any beach-focused holiday. Many rooms at the resort also boast uninterrupted sea views that only add to the dream, while its engaged staff promise a tailored escape for those seeking both serenity and adventure. 

Karon Beach isn’t just about lazy days in the sun – it’s got plenty to keep you moving too. From water sports and beach yoga to scenic strolls, there’s no shortage of ways to make the most of this stunning coastline. And when you’re ready to switch things up, Thavorn Palm Beach Resort puts you within arm’s reach of some of the area’s best restaurants, bars and markets making for a perfect mix of seaside serenity and local buzz. 

Find affordable luxury on the beach

While there are many resort options along Karon Beach, the charm of Thavorn Palm Beach Resort makes it a strong contender. With a wide range of 5-star beachfront rooms, every type of traveller can find their perfect match, with views, vibes and variety aplenty. 

The best part – aside from the beach, of course – is the resort’s surprisingly affordable price tags. Sure, it’s of five-star calibre, but Thavorn Palm Beach Resort lets you soak up the sun and savour the indulgence while still keeping your budget intact. Because a dreamy beach escape shouldn’t break the bank, right?

Couples and solo travellers can unwind in the deluxe terrace or sea view deluxe terrace rooms, while those craving poolside relaxation can opt for the lagoon pool view deluxe terrace. But if it’s serious indulgence you’re after, the sea view three-bedroom suite with bathtub and the sea view infinity pool two-bedroom duplex suite surely take things up a notch with panoramic ocean views and a friendly touch of pampering.

Resort living, beachside fun

But, as with every beach getaway, the fun begins beyond the four walls of a deluxe sea view room. Thavorn Palm Beach Resort also offers a wide range of in-house and on-beach features and activities that keep everyone entertained.

If the sea isn’t inviting enough, one of the four swimming pools will surely seal the deal, one with a thrilling waterslide that’s great for both kids and big-kids alike. Alternatively, keep things dry with a trip to the beachfront petting zoo or simply wander through the botanical gardens and take in the atmosphere. 

And when hunger strikes, the resort has you more than covered. Ocean Rhyme serves aromatic Thai cuisine and fresh seafood with a side of sea breeze, while Ciao Pizza and Grill takes care of those carb cravings with wood-fired pizzas and hearty Italian fare.

The resort is also home to its very own ice cream and dessert shop with plenty to tempt you, while its array of coffee, wine and pool bars mean you don’t need to go far to top up on your drink of choice.

Think exclusive rates, special offers and tailored packages that make stays even more enjoyable, and affordable.
