Best 5 Star Resorts in Phuket
The wait is over: Phuket is finally open for fully-vaccinated international tourists! With Thailand’s most famous beach destination beckoning all travel-hungry visitors to dive back into its azure waters and indulge in its luxurious resorts, it’s high time to plan your next big seaside trip.
To ensure you get the best bang for your buck as you book your ultimate Phuket holiday, we’ve compiled a list of the 10 best 5-star resorts for under S$100 per night. The resorts are all accredited with an SHA+ certification to guarantee a hassle-free stay in Phuket.
What is the SHA+ certification?
The SHA+ is a certification awarded by the Thai government to facilities that fulfill the COVID-19 health and preventative protocols and have had 70% or more of their employees fully vaccinated.
How important is SHA+ to those wishing to travel to Phuket from abroad?
As part of the Thai government’s “Sandbox” initiative, fully vaccinated international visitors are required to:
- Stay in an SHA Extra Plus certified accommodation (1 night booked, plus airport transfer and RT-PCR Test arranged with the accommodation)
- Use the accommodation booking confirmation to apply for the Thailand Pass
How do you make sure you comply with Phuket’s travel requirements? Easy! Just follow these steps:
Step 1: Book a room on Klook.
Step 2: Contact the hotel to book your airport transfer and RT-PCR tests (prices are subject to the hotel). You can find the hotel's contact details from the Klook booking confirmation.
