Phuket in Thailand is a destination that Island Escapes plans for couples and families, with a focus on seclusion and privacy. As a Swiss travel agency with video consultation, Island Escapes also organises long transfers to remote islands. The planner starts the island planning, and on a video call you clarify the details.

Why this trip
Phuket is the largest island in Thailand, and that is exactly why it pays to look at the map: there are noisy stretches of coast, but also bays in the south and west that stay quiet. If you want seclusion, choose the beach with care. The Andaman Sea provides longtail boats that travel to limestone islands, and a day trip shows how different the coast looks. Families hire a boat for a day, couples go to the beach in the evening and watch the boats.
If you want to avoid nightlife, stay far from the well-known stretches. The months from November to April bring dry weather and calm seas, in the rainy season the sea is rougher. Phuket is also a hub: Krabi lies opposite, Koh Jum somewhat further south, both rather quiet. Anyone planning a trip with privacy often uses Phuket as the arrival point and travels on the next day.
These changes by boat depend on the weather. Island Escapes plans them with time buffers and asks in a video call whether you would rather stay in one place or link several islands. An early start in the morning helps to avoid waiting times and to enjoy the beach.
Getting there
From Zurich or Basel-Mulhouse, the journey often continues by boat or seaplane, and Island Escapes plans the connections.
