From the viewpoints, you can enjoy breathtaking views of different parts of the island, featuring long sandy beaches and lush green jungles. These elevated spots offer the most stunning sunsets and sunrises. At some viewpoints, you might even encounter wild animals. Insider has compiled a list of the top-rated viewpoints π₯ The best ones go first ππΌ
Phuketβs viewpoints are stunning, and each one is worth visiting. The best way to reach them is by renting a motorbike or car. Be cautious on the roads if you choose to get to the Phuket viewpoints using a map on your own β most are located at high elevations, and the roads are steep and winding.
If you want to capture breathtaking birdβs-eye views and shoot with a drone, head to Karon and the Samet Nangshe Viewpoint. For watching the day end and enjoying a magnificent sunset, visit Promthep Cape and Rang Hill (Khao Rang).
We also recommend visiting the viewpoint near the Big Buddha β one of the best viewpoints in Phuket. From this high point (400 meters above sea level), youβll enjoy spectacular panoramic views, and the spiritual atmosphere of the site brings a sense of peace and tranquility. There are areas for prayer and meditation on the grounds.
At Ao Por and Samet Nangshe Viewpoint, you can witness a mesmerizing sunrise. Camping is allowed in these areas, so you can spend the night in nature and greet a beautiful dawn.
For wildlife encounters, visit Monkey Hill. You can also spot these adorable island residents at the Kao Khad viewpoint, in the jungles near the Big Buddha, and even wild boars in the surroundings of Rang Hill (Khao Rang).
