Hat Surin
Like that hot boy or girl in school who also happens to have style, soul, a fun personality
and wealthy parents, Surin beach is the kind of place that can inspire (travel) lust in any-
one who meets him or her. With a wide, blonde beach, water that blends from pale tur-
quoise in the shallows to a deep blue on the horizon, and two lush, boulder-strewn head-
lands, Surin could easily attract tourists on looks alone. Ah, but there are stunning galler-
ies, five-star spa resorts and wonderful beachfront dining options, too. So by the time
you're done swimming, sunbathing, snacking at local fish grills and sipping cocktails at
barefoot-chic beach clubs, don't be surprised if you've fallen in love.
Sleeping
Hat Surin is home to some of Phuket's classiest resorts, but there's little available for
those on a budget.

( 0 7627 1261; www.benyadalodgephuket.com ; 106/52 Moo 3, Th Chengtalay; r from 2800B; ) Chic,
modern rooms - with black louvred closets, terracotta-tiled bathrooms and silk, pastel-col-
oured throw pillows scattered in the lounging corner - are a great bargain for this area.
The service is stellar. Take in the sunset and have a dip in the pool at the rooftop bar. It's
only a few minutes' walk to the beach.
