Holiday Inn Resort Phuket Karon Beach by IHG

Set on the sun-drenched shores of Karon Beach, Holiday Inn Resort Phuket Karon Beach, an IHG Hotel, offers three sparkling outdoor pools, a rejuvenating spa, and a gym that never sleeps. Guests can enjoy complimentary WiFi and private balconies in every room.

Just steps from the sandy shoreline, this resort is a mere 600-metre stroll from Karon Night Market, with Wat Chaithararam Temple a quick 10-minute drive away. Patong’s buzzing nightlife is reachable over the hill by short car ride, while Kata Beach is also about 10 minutes by car, and Phuket International Airport sits a 45-minute transfer from the property.

Each air-conditioned room comes with a flat-screen TV featuring satellite channels, plus a minibar that can be stocked to your liking. Bathrobes, slippers, and a bathroom stocked with complimentary amenities round out the comfort.

When hunger calls, three on-site restaurants serve up a range of dishes, while two bars are perfect for a relaxing drink. Active travellers can break a sweat at the fitness centre, and there’s also a fun water slide, a dedicated kids’ club, and a 24-hour front desk to handle any need.

Guests travelling as a couple often single out the spot—they’ve given it a solid 8.4 rating for two-person getaways.
