Rosewood Phuket, Thailand

Seventy-One contemporary pavilions and villas blend in to the lush tropical landscape. All have sea views and a beautiful airy space which is created from the floor-to-ceiling windows and pool terraces. The décor is cool and harmonious, crafted from natural materials. Neutral colour palates and subtle Thai influences create a stylish elegance with an authentic sense of place. Pavilions are staggered down the hillside in rows. Partial Ocean View Pavilions are elevated on stilts with views of the surrounding jungle and the resort, Ocean View Pavilions are located closer to the beach and Oceanfront Pavilions boast uninterrupted views. Each enjoys a separate lounge space which can be partitioned off, a dining space, a private garden, terrace, pool and outdoor shower and bath. One and Two Bedroom Pool Villas are individually spaced out all enjoying ocean views.

The Shack is one of our favourite hang-outs. Located by the pool, this rustic set-up serves the best local and international seafood. As the sun sets enjoy Mai which is a poolside lounge and deck, ideal for a cheeky happy hour cocktail. Ta Khai is a local style, feet in the sand beach restaurant, serving up delicious Thai treats. Sophisticated Red Sauce Italian Restaurant enjoys amazing sea views.

The freeform pool is the heart and soul of the resort, located right behind the beach, beneath the swaying palms - choose from lap, activity and children’s pool sections. Another pool is hidden within the tranquil Asaya Wellness centre, where a range of spa and wellness experts can create a bespoke spa experience for guests.

Kids will love it here. With spacious and interconnecting rooms, plus two-bedroom options there is space for everyone. A kids’ club and pool will keep children entertained and happy.
