Rosewood Phuket Hotel

Thailand

Perched on the edge of tropical rainforest and lapped by the Andaman Sea, Rosewood Phuket is tropical luxury manifest.

Across the resort are 71 spacious, solar-powered pavilion suites and contemporary villas (all with pools) made from indigenous stone and local timber to blend in with the hotel’s palm-fringed backdrop.

The glistening Emerald Bay completes the postcard-perfect setting, A nature-first mindset flows throughout including at restaurant Ta Khai – which translates as ‘fishing net’ – where you’ll find the catch of the day and native ingredients brought together in complete harmony.

At the Asaya spa, you can balance your energy with a Tibetan Singing Bowl ritual or restore your wellbeing with a restorative and indulgent ‘ode to rest’ massage.

Hotel excursions might include a trip to Phuket’s first ethical sanctuary for retired and rescued elephants.
