Phuket, on the southern coast of Thailand, can feel impossibly far away until you see a price like this. We've found a return flight from Madrid for €503, operated by Hainan Airlines with two stops.
The dates we've found are departing on 2 December 2026 and returning on 10 December 2026. That gives you eight days on the island during the dry season, when the sea is usually at its best.
Keep in mind that flight prices change constantly. If this one catches your eye, don't wait too long. Check the current fare and availability before you book.
Once you're in Phuket, Patong Beach is the place for nightlife, while Kata and Karon are ideal if you'd rather slow down and relax. A boat trip to the Phi Phi Islands, with turquoise water and snorkelling, is another highly recommended day out. And to end the day, head to Phuket Old Town, with its colourful Sino-Portuguese houses and street food.
