Guest review: “The pavilion is an outstanding hotel if you want to be left alone in luxury. The villas are beautiful and the staff is absolutely outstanding. I would definitely go back in a heartbeat. It is a little removed from shops and towns, so you need to take a taxi or shuttle.”

Location: Mai Khao Beach
Cutting-edge designs go hand in hand with traditional Thai courtesy of this beachside architectural wonder. The accommodation ranges from oversized deluxe suites to the stunning and sequestered one-bedroom ocean-front villas, each with their own private pool.
The ultra modern ethos extends to the innovative cuisine at in-house restaurant Loca Vore. Renaissance also has a fully equipped fitness centre and beautiful circular spa with private treatment rooms.
Guest review: “Felt more like a Boutique Inn than a large hotel…Would absolutely return to this hotel if we are in the area. We travel a great deal and I was impressed that such a large, busy hotel could feel like a more intimate inn where you can get to know both other guests and staff in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.”

Sitting on top of Phuket’s south-eastern cape, each one of this luxury enclave’s pool villas overlooks truly remarkable vistas of the ocean and nearby islands. Your privacy is assured by the forty lush tropical acres this magnificent resort covers, so you could re-enact the, ‘I’m flying!’ scene from Titanic on your own balcony with complete confidence.

Sri Panwa’s Baba restaurant has a number of stunning locations: Baba Poolclub serves huge breakfasts, a la carte dinner and turns into a disco in the evening. For an intimate experience Baba Soul Food and Baba Dining Lounge offers traditional Thai and there are cocktails on offer at Baba Nest – the rooftop bar with a wrap-around infinity pool. The views have to be seen to be believed and are perfect for watching the seemingly endless sunset.

Trisara
Cost: Ocean view pool villa from RM5,525; Ocean view pool suite from RM8,374.
Location: Oceanfront on private beach. 2.8km from Nai Thon Beach.
Imagine watching the sun slowly dip behind your own secret pond, which flows forever toward the horizon’s softly changing colours. Then you’ll know what is meant by an ‘infinity pool’ and that Trisara truly does mean, ‘the third garden in heaven’.
The subtle, yet rich flavours in a Thai feast of fresh seafood and any cuisine you could desire are served with the hospitality for which this gentle land is justifiably famous.
All Trisara’s villas are set in a quiet, tropical world with an infinity pool flowing toward the Andaman Sea and secluded ocean views.
Sigh.
