Facilities

Here, amongst the dozens of huge wild palm trees and a kaleidoscope of tropical flowers and shrubs, is the beautiful Hilton Phuket Arcadia Resort & Spa. The beach in question is Karon Beach and it is soft, golden and perfectly clear. The Andaman Sea that laps at the shore is equally clear and inviting – in fact Phuket is known as the 'Pearl of Andaman' which may go some way to explaining why this is such a great resort for water based activities.

This mini-paradise is a haven for diving, golfing (there are some great courses nearby) and much more. With friendly staff, a serene environment with lots to discover, heaps of local culture and a brilliant pool complex, it’s quite the best place for families.

There's a butterfly garden to visit, Old Chinatown to explore, Thai temples, a Sea Shell Museum (with the world's largest pearl), rare stones and night markets. When it's time to relax, unwind with a soothing massage in the luxurious spa village.
