Easter is coming up, and what better way to celebrate than indulging in the sun, sand, sea, and fresh coconuts for days? An Easter vacation in Phuket is the answer. This paradise island offers the perfect combination of festive celebrations, stunning natural scenery, and exciting activities for the whole family. With April guaranteeing warm, sunny weather and a vibrant atmosphere, this is the ideal time to be outdoors and enjoy everything Phuket has to offer. From Easter egg hunts to water festivals, cultural attractions, and kids' activities, here’s how to make the most of your Easter vacation in Phuket.

Embrace the Festivities

An Easter vacation in Phuket is not just about enjoying the tropical weather - it is also a period to indulge in fun-filled activities. Most top resorts, such as Centara Hotels and venues celebrating Easter in Phuket, Thailand, organise Easter-themed activities, including egg painting, treasure hunts, and themed brunches for families. Kids can enjoy creative workshops and exciting egg hunts during their stay at a Centara property while parents relax by the pool or indulge in a beach barbecue. 

Around the same time, right before Easter, comes the mid-April start of Songkran; Thailand's traditional New Year celebration. This countrywide holiday is renowned for its fun water fights, as locals and visitors all come together and take to the street armed with water guns and buckets, ready to drench and be drenched. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience and a great addition to your travels if you just so happen to be in the country at the time. If you're travelling then, expect to get soaked - but that’s all part of the fun! 

Discover Phuket’s Natural Wonders

Phuket is home to some of the country's most beautiful beaches and is perfect for relaxation. Whether you desire the busy atmosphere of Patong Beach, the family-friendly environment of Kata Beach, or the more relaxed atmosphere of Karon Beach, you can enjoy soft golden shores and crystal clear turquoise waters that are perfect for sunbathing and swimming.

For nature lovers, you must add Sirinat National Park to your list. Here, you can stroll along mangrove forests, observe exotic wildlife, and even visit the sea turtle nesting sites. This island national park on the northwest coast is ideal for a relaxing walk or a serene picnic amidst Phuket's natural beauty. 
 

Cultural Excursions

If you are a history and culture buff, you must visit some of the island’s most iconic landmarks. 
Make the Big Buddha your first stop. Standing 45 metres tall, this grand marble statue is among Phuket's top attractions. The site offers panoramic views and a sense of serenity, perfect for simply sitting, relaxing, or reflecting while you soak in the stunning island views from the top. 

Then you have the famous Old Phuket Town. We recommend taking a full day to explore this area from day to night. Stroll around the quaint streets of this old neighbourhood where you can explore colourful Sino-Portuguese architecture, vibrant street art, and lively markets that are oh-so-charming. During day time, go cafe-hopping to quirky cafes and indulge in some of the iconic street food. As the sun sets, stroll around the open markets selling a variety of items such as local clothing, jewelry, souvenirs, and more. This is an excellent starting point to introduce yourself to Phuket’s rich culture. 

Family-Friendly Activities

Phuket is packed with exciting attractions that the whole family can enjoy.
Carnival Magic, for instance, is a dazzling theme park that offers spectacular performances, larger-than-life floats, and the world’s largest light show. With vibrant parades and interactive zones, it’s an unforgettable experience for both children and adults. 

April can be quite hot and the best way to beat the heat is with a visit to Phuket’s water parks! Enjoy thrilling slides, lazy rivers, and splash zones, which provide hours of entertainment. Whether it’s Blue Tree Phuket or Andamanda Water Park, there’s something for every age group.

A Taste of Phuket

Thai food is famed in the global scene for good reason, and many of the popular curry dishes you maybe familiar with originate from Southern Thailand or Phuket itself. 

Learn the art of authentic Thai cooking by signing up for a cooking class. Family-friendly classes are offered by most resorts and local cooking schools, where you can try your hand at making classic favourites like pad Thai and Mango Sticky Rice. 

For a glimpse into Phuket at its most vibrant, head to the night markets such as Chillva Market or Naka Market, where you can sample freshly grilled seafood, tropical fruits, and local specialties.
