Kick off your Phuket adventure early with the sunrise at Promthep Cape, situated on the southern tip of the province. Most tourists come here in the evenings to catch the sunset, but the spectacular sunrise experience here is an equally stunning sight to see. You'll need to complete an easy 10-minute trek to reach the viewpoint though, so do wear comfortable footwear!
7.00am - 10.00am: Explore Nai Harn Beach

Spend the rest of your morning soaking in the sun and sea breeze at Nai Harn Beach, a picturesque white sandy bay that is quieter and away from most of the tourist crowds. There are also plenty of eateries and street food stalls near the lagoon for you to grab your breakfast, as well as recreation parks and a lovely temple that are worth the visit.

If you've got some time to spare, we highly recommend heading up the iconic Karon Viewpoint too (just a 10-minute drive away!), which does not fail to deliver spectacular vistas of the surrounding hills, beaches and sea.
10.30am - 11.30am: The Big Buddha
