Can you recommend unique and original hotels in Phuket?
Insider's Response
If you’re tired of standard all-inclusive resorts with pools and beachfront views, Phuket has plenty of unique hotel experiences to surprise you.
Keemala is a magical place for reconnecting with nature. Instead of standard rooms, it offers original villas shaped like clay cottages, bird’s nests, and tree houses. The design is inspired by mythical tribes, and the atmosphere is perfect for a full reset — quiet, green, and enchantingly serene.
How about diving into history in the heart of the Old Town? The oldest hotel in Phuket, The Memory at On On Hotel, is designed in colonial style and appeals to history lovers. Vintage decor captures the spirit of the early 20th century, making you feel like you’ve stepped back in time to the golden age of Sino-Portuguese architecture. As a bonus, they offer bike rentals to explore Phuket Town at your own pace — history surrounds you at every turn.
If you’re into motorcycles and adrenaline, Nicky’s Handlebar is the place for you. Bikes and biker culture greet you at the entrance, and classic rock fills the bar. Every corner of this hotel follows the theme, and you can walk out of your room, hop on a bike, and hit the road right away.
