Phuket has evolved into a major centre for spas and wellness in recent years. Several world-class facilities have been built around the island, and all of the island's top resorts are scurrying to either expand or develop their own in-house spa services. Many offer a blend of Eastern and Western techniques in a tranquil environment, often at lower prices than spas with similar standards of service and luxury in the West. You can receive a Thai massage costing as little as 250-300 baht, or indulge in a pampering spa treatment package for 7,000 baht or more. There's something here to suit all tastes and budgets. The more basic facilities may be little more than a shophouse with a row of chairs or daybeds for giving massages and facials, and there are numerous other places all the way up to a full-service spa such as the Banyan Tree, the Aspara Spa at Phuket Holiday Inn, or Angsana Spa at Dusit Laguna and Sheraton Phuket, where a sensational range of treatments are provided in an elegant setting. In Phuket, you're spoilt for choice when it comes to spas.
