Relax & Unwind

Set in lush tropical gardens, staying at the Paradox Resort will feel like a heavenly hideaway, with the soft golden sands of Karon Beach just steps away. Relax around the pool with its swim-up pool bar, the tropical gardens, or take a leisurely stroll along Karon Beach with its crystal clear waters. At three kilometres, it’s one of longest on the island of Phuket. With our half board basis, we can enjoy traditional Thai, local, Indian and international favourites at the hotel’s restaurant. There is also the Mint Bar which offers beautiful sunset views of the beach and with our resort situated on the island’s west coast, the sunsets are simply breathtaking.

Our Resort - Karon Beach

Lower key than neighbouring Patong, but still lively enough for fun nights with new-found friends, the resort of Karon Beach is home to a great selection of restaurants, bars and souvenir shops. A great spot for us to visit is the twice-weekly night market at Karon Temple where authentic Thai street foods, fresh exotic fruits and souvenirs are all on offer. The temple itself makes for some impressive photos. Heading south, we can take an easy hike up to Karon Viewpoint to enjoy panoramic views of the Andaman Sea and the white sandy bays and turquoise waters that this region is famous for. Another must-see spot is the ‘Big Buddha’, sitting majestically atop a hill to the south of Karon, this 45-metre-tall statue is a sight to behold!

More to Explore

There is so much to do in this part of Thailand. From culture to nature, we can fill our days with wonderful sights and experiences (if we can tear ourselves away from that stunning beach). With 29 Buddhist temples in Phuket, the most impressive of them all is Wat Chalong. Phuket Elephant Sanctuary offers animal lovers an ethical experience to meet these iconic Thai natives. For those wanting to spend time on the water, speedboat trips to the Phi Phi Islands and James Bond Island are an exhilarating way to explore this tropical paradise. History lovers can enjoy a stroll around Old Phuket Town with its shrines, museums and Sino-Portuguese architecture.
