Just like the beach town it calls home, TRIBE Phuket Patong is full of character. Freshly opened in July 2025, this new hotel in Phuket brings a youthful energy that’s both functional and fun to the area, with bold design and urban-meets-tropical interiors.
Walk through its front doors, and it’s clear that this is a hotel that understands the tempo of modern travellers who move fast and rest well. A day could flow easily within the hotel’s colourful walls. Enjoy some Phuketian bites from the breakfast buffet, open your laptop by the pool, chat with whoever’s around at the social hub, then wind it all down with bold Thai, Italian, or Middle-Eastern flavours and a drink or two.
And when it’s time to hit the beach? Thailand’s most famous beach, Patong, is just ten minutes away.

The look
There’s nothing boring about TRIBE Phuket Patong. The architecture cuts a crisp silhouette against the tropical sky, with a white and charcoal grey façade that curves around a sky-blue pool.
Inside, the Phuket hotel features distinctive design elements with saturated colours, geometric lines, and curated art pieces that hint at a playful spirit. There are touches of local character, too, from woven rattan chairs to tropical plants that soften the modern edges. And no space is left behind. Even the bathrooms carry the hotel’s strong visual identity, with illuminated tile walls featuring LED massaging that adds a cheeky, photo-ready twist.
Along with the quirky design details and colourful palettes, another recurring theme throughout the hotel is openness. Communal areas are built for interaction, with a layout that encourages both productivity and play.
The rooms
There are 187 rooms and suites at TRIBE Phuket Patong. Divided into five categories, there’s a room type for solo travellers, digital nomads, couples, beach-hopping friends, and anyone in town for more than just the view. Each one is effortlessly cool, dressed in a combination of crisp white and bold colours, with design details that nod to Phuket’s tropical beauty and the island’s distinctive Sino-Portuguese architecture.
It doesn’t take long to notice how much thought has gone into the guest experience. You’ll find the brand’s signature king or twin beds, high-thread-count linens, Nespresso machines, and smart tech like 55-inch LED TVs with screen mirroring. There’s clever storage space and blackout blinds, as well as easy-access plugs and charging points.
Even the least expensive standard rooms, TRIBE Essential, come with floor-to-ceiling windows and private balconies overlooking the pool or garden. Bathrooms are fitted with walk-in rain showers and stocked with amenities by Kevin Murphy.
The food and drinks
Although there are plenty of places to eat and drink around TRIBE Phuket Patong, its onsite restaurants and bars are worth staying in for. The hotel has three main spots to eat and drink: Three Uncles and a Barman, Maska, and Shades Pool Bar.
Three Uncles and a Barman is the hotel’s all-day dining spot with open kitchens, a breezy terrace, and a menu that moves from Thai staples to Italian dishes like wood-fired pizzas and Middle Eastern-style mezze. It’s where the all-day à la carte breakfast is laid out each morning, but it also draws a relaxed crowd in the afternoons for long lunches and early evening cocktails.
The soon-to-open Maska takes a different turn. It’s an Indian chai bar by day and cocktail lounge by night. The design leans into neo-vintage charm, with curated playlists and a menu built for sharing. You can expect bold flavours and playful combinations in each dish, from the charcoal-grilled meats and signature curries to biryanis and street snacks.
Upstairs, Shades Pool Bar brings the party skyward. There are creative cocktails, a curved pool, and a soundtrack that shifts with the time of day. It’s where lazy afternoons have a habit of stretching into sunset.
And here’s something not every hotel in Phuket can offer: a 24/7 Grab & Go station. Stocked with fresh salads, cold-pressed juices, local craft beers, and sandwiches, it’s a lifesaver for early risers, late sleepers, and anyone craving a snack at 2am.
The facilities
TRIBE Phuket Patong’s ability to fuse function and design without overcomplicating the experience is, perhaps, its biggest wow-factor.
The outdoor pool, for example, offers a calming contrast to the energy outside the hotel gates. It’s not oversized, but it’s stylish, with clear turquoise water that curves through a garden of palms and tropical foliage, submerged sun loungers, and chic white marbles. The adjoining fitness centre is compact but well-fitted for those who like to keep up a workout routine while travelling.
The Social Hub remains the soul of the hotel. It doubles as a lounge, co-working space, and casual hangout. You’ll find design magazines on the tables, strong Wi-Fi in the air, and guests mingling over flat whites or cocktails.
Together, these spaces give guests the flexibility to shift between the high tempo of Patong and a more relaxed rhythm within the hotel.
The location
This is a bold claim, but TRIBE Phuket Patong’s is not only the coolest hotel on the island, but might also be the best-located. It sits on Phang Mueang Sai Kor Road, a short walk to the golden curve of Patong Beach, the chaos and colour of Bangla Road, and Muay Thai fights at Bangla Boxing Stadium.
Markets, malls, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and tattoo shops fill the streets surrounding the hotel, with just enough grit and charm to remind you that you’re in Phuket, not just any island.
If you’re here to party, you’re obviously covered. But even if you’re here for something quieter (say, island-hopping, Thai food crawls, or Phuket cultural tours), the hotel works just as well. Phuket Old Town is just a short drive away, with its pastel shophouses, street art, and coffee spots worth the detour. Moreover, boat trips to Phi Phi and other islands are easy to organise from the front desk.
But even though you’re in the middle of everything, you don’t need to pack your earplugs. The rooms stay calm and quiet, so you can recharge before diving back into it all.
The essentials
Patong has never lacked personality. From beach bars and neon signs to scooter-packed streets and market stalls, it’s a place that keeps moving. TRIBE Phuket Patong matches that pace, but does so with control. It’s everything you need from a modern hotel in Patong, wrapped in a cool, calming aesthetic that doesn’t sacrifice functionality for looks. Additionally, it’s a great base for any kind of experience.
