8 of the Best Wedding Venues in Phuket
Made up of a wonderful medley of Chinese, Malaysian, Indian and Thai influences, Phuket is Thailand’s largest island and considered the jewel of the Andaman Sea. Surrounded by laidback beaches, clear blue waters and connected to Thai mainland via a narrow causeway, it’s home to everything that’s great about Thailand. Filled with stunning hotels both large and small, high-end wine bars and restaurants and plenty to see and do, it’s a wonderful and romantic spot to host a wedding. Most of the hotels based here benefit from the dual aspect of mountainous jungle on one side, and long lengths of beach on the other side, making for the most idyllic and picturesque combination.
Below we’ve listed 8 of our favourite wedding venues in Phuket to help get you inspired.
1. Anantara Layan Phuket
Set on the lush hillside looking out over the powdery beach, the luxury resort of Anantara Layan Phuket is perfect for a relaxed barefoot wedding. Say your ‘I Dos’ on the beach or within the elegant Layan Residences, which combine opulent luxury with intimate island charm. Alternatively you can get married on a floating stage upon their infinity pool or in the beautifully designed chapel. The venue also has plenty of accommodation including 30 suites, 46 pool villas and 15 pool residences.
2. Cape Panwa
Located on the quiet southern tip of Phuket, you’ll find the pretty Cape Panwa surrounded by an old coconut plantation, with panoramic views of the Andaman Sea. With lush tropical gardens all around, the low rise architectural design means the venue blends in seamlessly with the natural surroundings, for a truly relaxing setting. Host your ceremony on their private beach surrounded by coconut groves, with the option of having a unique traditional Thai Ceremony where you are blessed by 9 monks. Receptions can also be hosted on the beach, on the Wedding Terrace or Panwa House Lawn with up to 150 guests, as you dine on delicious Asian and Western inspired dishes.
