Phuket's spa and wellness scene has blossomed over the past decade. Sure, you can get traditional (and not-so-traditional) Thai massages from itinerant therapists on Patong Beach, but it isn't a real Phuket spa experience until you've checked into one of the island's world-class spa facilities. Most hotels have their own in-house spa services, but some resorts (like the ones we've listed below) have raised their spa experience into a real art form.
