Lulla travels to Patong Beach and stays at the Holiday Inn Resort Phuket.

Traveling to Phuket during this time is truly fantastic. The latest visit to Phuket revealed incredibly beautiful waters, clean beaches, not too crowded, no traffic jams, and moreover, more than 80 percent of the island’s population has already been vaccinated, with a trend towards reaching 100 percent soon. With this visit, we feel completely safe. We’ve booked our accommodation at the Holiday Inn Resort Phuket, situated in one of the best locations in Patong Beach, close to the liveliest spots of Phuket and just 500 meters away from the beach, taking only a 10-minute walk.

Alternatively, if you prefer not to walk, there are shuttle buses available to transport you around.

Holiday Inn Resort Patong, despite being located in the bustling area of Phuket, once you step into the resort itself, you’ll feel like you’re relaxing in a tranquil oasis. It doesn’t feel like staying in a city hotel at all. Even when you step outside of the resort, you’ll find restaurants, shopping destinations, and bustling crowds nearby.

The room we’re staying in tonight is another zone that emphasizes privacy, perfect for couples. It’s a villa room that connects to a shared swimming pool with other villa rooms, but the number of pool users is limited, offering more privacy. One highlight of this room is its functional design, with the bathroom, shower, wardrobe, and washbasin area separated from the living space around the bed. There’s also a sofa bed, a coffee corner, and a cozy TV-watching area, providing a sense of comfort without feeling cramped.
