The great thing about Phuket island is that it offers something for everyone: family holidays, hen parties and stag dos, couple’s getaways and retirement celebrations. There is so much to do and see in this Andaman hotspot. With plenty of honeymooners and couples on engagement trips, Phuket certainly has plenty to keep loved-up couples busy. Check out some of our suggestions for a romantic holiday you will never forget.

1. Helicopter ride

For breath-taking views and a totally different experience, take to the skies with your other half. Feel your spirits soar as you glide over one of the most popular tourist destinations in Asia. Charter a ride with Skydance by Advance Aviation, the island’s main helicopter tour  provider and create memories to last a lifetime.

2. Couples spa treatment

Get pampered side by side in one of the many luxury spas on the island. There’s nothing like relaxing in tranquil ambience, away from the humdrum of daily life. Packed with indulgent havens, Phuket is just the place to do it. Try a traditional Thai massage for a truly authentic  experience. Most hotels offer a couples massage service, and you can even enjoy it on the beach with the sound of waves soothing your senses.

3. Dinner with a view

Sunset and the sea go hand in hand for a spectacular evening. Hugging the steep slopes near Karon and Patong beaches you can find multiple cliff-side restaurants offering stunning panoramic views of the coastline. Stare over the horizon as you tuck in to a delicious meal with your partner. A delight for your senses. We especially like Phuket Secret Cliff Resort restaurant for a romantic evening meal.

4. Catamaran tour of the islands

Moving on from aerial views of the ocean, take to the sea in a chartered catamaran. Search out private paradise islets with your loved one and share unforgettable moments together on the waves. If you’re looking for an exclusive experience then check out Hype Boat Clubs elite fleet of catamarans.

7. Go diving together

Phuket is one of the top ten diving destinations in the world and most of the diving centres that run on the island boast years of experience. Venture into uncharted territory together at famous spots such as King Cruiser wreck near the Phi Phi islands and Shark Point, where Leopard sharks cruise close to the sea floor.

8. Ton Sai Waterfall

If you have had enough of the Phuket’s beachside charm, head inland for a romantic getaway to one of the island’s waterfalls.

With over 100 weddings under her belt, no two days are the same for L’Amour Phuket Wedding owner and planner, Saranya.

From working behind the scenes at a wedding to deliver a seamless transition from the ceremony to the reception, to speaking with caterers or sound technicians months in advance, Saranya’s dream job is a diverse one.

But above all, her greatest hope is for something she cannot plan for: that there is no rain on a couple’s wedding day!

“I’m very so happy when the wedding runs smoothly: I can go home and sleep well!” she admits.

“I give the same attention to each wedding as I would to my own. I want to give the best to each couple that asks me to help them, just as I would want the best at my wedding.”

Saranya’s role begins with an initial meeting with those looking to tie the knot. Once they have explained to her what they dream of for their Big Day, she gets to work.

“The most challenging part of my job is to meet 100% of my clients’ expectations. I want them to trust me and feel like L’Amour are family to them too,” said the 29-year-old.
