Bachelorette party in Phuket

Sunsets, a yacht and the big evening

Friday you land in Phuket and head up the hill to your own pool villa, the sea below you.

That evening it's the DJ by the pool, or beach beds at Café del Mar as the sun goes down.

Saturday you sail into Phang Nga Bay, where limestone cliffs rise straight out of green water.

Sunday is the big one: your own section at Illuzion on Bangla Road.

Ask Tanner to build every day around the bride.

Pick the bride's weekend

Choose one option for each day below, and the total for the group builds as you go.

Day 1: a pool party at the villa, or beach beds at Café del Mar.

Day 2: a catamaran in Phang Nga Bay, or a motor yacht.

Day 3: your section at Illuzion, with or without a photographer.

Spa or cabaret? Swap either in. Ask Tanner which day to move.

What a Phuket bachelorette party costs

Here are the three days for 12, every price for the whole group with VAT inside.

A real weekend for 12: the villa pool party, a yacht quoted to your plan and the prime section at Illuzion. Tanner sends one price for the whole plan.

Your hillside villa adds from ฿18,500 a day, plus the cars.

Ask Tanner for your dates, and one price covers it all.

No packages, just your weekend

A package is a box you squeeze the group into. This is built around you.

Pick from two options each day, and swap them as you like.

One host runs it, and one price covers the group. Ask Tanner to hold the dates.

Little extras for the bride

A cabaret show: Simon Cabaret in Patong, before dinner or the club.

A spa afternoon: massages at the villa for the whole group.

A photo shoot: our photographer from ฿10,000 for the day, at the villa or on the yacht.

A private chef: a long dinner by the pool, cooked to your menu.

Whatever she wants, it's done. Ask Tanner what to add.

Phuket by day

An elephant sanctuary: walk with the elephants and help feed them. No riding. See elephant sanctuaries in Phuket.

Phi Phi: a speedboat day to Maya Bay, with a park fee on top. Maya Bay closes from 1 August to 30 September. See Phi Phi tours.

The zipline: a morning flying through the trees. See Phuket zipline.

A cooking class: the market first, then cook lunch together.

Sunday afternoon is Old Phuket Town. The walking street on Thalang Road, Lard Yai, opens every Sunday from 4pm, the Tourism Authority of Thailand says (checked November 2026). Get there by 5pm, then walk Soi Romanee, the most photographed lane in town.

It's 25 to 30 minutes from Patong. Ask Tanner to fit it in before the big evening.

Where to stay

Kalim: just up the hill from Bangla Road and Illuzion.

Kamala: sea views, with Café del Mar down the road.

Our villas say yes to a party. The music stops between midnight and 6am, depending on the villa.

Bigger group? See large-group villas for 20 or more.

All of them: Phuket pool villas. Ask Tanner which hill suits the bride.

Out on the water

A sailing catamaran is the party boat: steady on deck and perfect for the photos. A motor yacht is quicker, for up to 15.

Phang Nga Bay has the calm water and the limestone islands, and in the monsoon it stays sheltered, so its boat days are the least likely to be cancelled.

The bar, a swim off the back, paddleboards and a DJ if you add one.

See Phuket yachts, and ask Tanner which boat suits your group.

Bangla Road and Illuzion

Start with a sunset at a beach club. See Phuket beach clubs.

Then Bangla Road in Patong. Licensed clubs in Phuket's tourist areas can stay open until 4am, the Tourism Authority of Thailand says (checked November 2026). See our Bangla Road guide.

Illuzion is the big one, No. 9 in DJ Mag's Top 100 Clubs for 2026, with your own section by the DJ.

Dress smart and bring passports: the drinking age is 20, says the Thai government's guide. Ask Tanner to put the bride's name on the list.

How it works with Tanner

It all starts with one message.

• Ask Tanner with your dates, the group size and what the bride loves.
• Choose the villa, the yacht and the bride's big evening.
• He sends back one price for the villa, the yacht, your section, the bar and the cars.
• The car meets you at arrivals, about 1 hour from Patong by Google Maps. See Phuket airport transfers.
• Each evening the car waits at the club, and the bride's crew goes home together.

Plan it with Tanner, and all you do is show up.

What we look after

The villa, the yacht and its crew, the DJ, the bar, your section and the cars, all on Tanner's plan.

Flights, park fees, the spa, show tickets and food outside the plan are yours.

Want close protection? See bodyguards: plain clothes, there all evening.

Who pays?

The group decides, and plenty split the bride's share.

Shared: the villa, the yacht and the cars.

Optional: the spa, the cabaret and any extra days.

The full total and each person's share come first. Ask Tanner to send the split.

When to come

December to March is Phuket's dry season, and February its driest month, on the Thai Meteorological Department's 1991 to 2020 normals for Phuket: a calm Andaman and long beach-club sunsets.

From May to October the west coast gets red flags, so we sail into Phang Nga Bay, where the water stays flat.

Songkran, 13 to 15 April 2027 on the Bank of Thailand's holiday list, is a water fight across the whole island.

Book two to three months ahead for December and New Year. See the best time to visit Phuket. Ask Tanner which weekend is free.

For a big hen group

Twenty or more? The large-group villas take everyone under one roof, and a coach for 20 or more is quoted for the trip.

At Illuzion, a bigger section by the DJ keeps the whole group together.

Tanner's pick for a first bachelorette party in Phuket: the villa in Kalim, just up the hill from Bangla Road, so nobody's in a car for long.

Here's the tip: bring passports on the big evening. The clubs check.

Ask Tanner to size the weekend for your group.

The group, together all weekend

Our driver waits at every stop and takes you door to door.

Drinks come from the bar you booked. Keep an eye on yours, as anywhere.

On the boat, plenty of water and plenty of sunscreen.

Our host is with you on the evenings out. Ask Tanner who's hosting.

Phuket, Bangkok or Samui?

Phuket is the yacht day, the beach clubs and Illuzion.

Bangkok is rooftops and the river.

Koh Samui is a calmer island, with the Full Moon next door.

Want two? See the Thailand bachelorette weekend. Ask Tanner to join them up.
