Thailand’s largest island, Phuket is the perfect location for an intimate wedding ceremony or a grand celebration of your union. The island is fringed with beautiful beaches — each with their own unique character – lapped by the azure waters of the Andaman Sea. A variety of venues, from charming boutique hotels and private pool villa resorts to luxurious five-star properties, can cater to your needs and preferences.

From our personal experiences, we’ve singled out the below resorts for their excellent facilities, pristine beachfront and warm hospitality, ensuring the wedding of your dreams.

Located on the northwest coast of the island on the serene Bangtao Beach, Outrigger Laguna Phuket Beach Resort exudes an understated, contemporary vibe. The resort offers spacious guestrooms, a swimming pool with a 55-metre long water slide, and a host of sporting and recreational activities. Here, wedding packages include the Traditional Thai Wedding Package and the Western Beach Wedding Package; both encompass marriage registration and exchanging of the rings, among other beachside ceremonies and services.

Also on Bangtao Beach within the Laguna Phuket complex, Banyan Tree Phuket , features a contemporary, sophisticated feel that captures the essence of Thai architecture in a lush, tropical setting. From a beach wedding to a private ceremony at your villa, a Romance Concierge will be on hand to attend to your every need. Three ‘Unity Wedding’ packages are available and can be tailored for any number of guests at different locations in and around the resort.

Situated on the secluded Pansea Beach on the west coast of Phuket, The Surin  encompasses private cottages on landscaped slopes. Here, sand meets sea under a canopy of coconut palms — an idyllic and tranquil setting for an intimate wedding. The basic wedding package includes a Thai or Western-style beach ceremony and reception, cocktails, dinner for 10 persons, three-tiered cake, flying lantern ceremony and a range of other thoughtful services.

On Mai Khao beach, another hidden and crowd-free Phuket beach, Renaissance Resort and Spa Phuket provides the backdrop of a verdant tropical paradise for your nuptials. Here, every detail can be executed for Thai or Western-style weddings, and the abundance of natural diversity ensures that guests will have plenty of activities, from exploring rocky coves to scuba diving.

On Rawai Beach, within easy reach of Kata Noi Beach and Promthep Cape, Vijitt Resort and Spa  is a villa hideaway amid natural splendour, including old growth trees and native vegetation. The understated Southern Thai-style resort offers a tailor-made approach to weddings overlooking the sea, as well as honeymoons, vow renewals or anniversary celebrations.

The choices are seemingly endless… All resorts we recommend have been carefully chosen by Creative Events Asia’s location manager to incorporate service, style and value. For a full list of our favourite resorts, please click here.

Also, for all wedding packages, a range of optional extras can be arranged. We will work with the resort to source a professional videographer, drum procession band, DJ, fireworks, additional floral décor… Just ask – and we’ll make it happen! Alternately, if you prefer a beach wedding on Phuket, Khao Lak or other nearby isles without the services of a resort, we can also help make the required arrangements for you.
