The 18-hole golf course is on site, and there are three outdoor tennis courts. A free kids club keeps children busy, and supervised childcare is available for a fee.
Phuket’s driest and calmest weather usually runs from about November to April, which is peak season. From around May to October the southwest monsoon brings more rain and rougher seas on the west coast beaches, when red flags often mean swimming is unsafe, but prices are lower and showers often pass quickly.
Beyond the resort, Phuket offers boat trips to Phang Nga Bay and the Phi Phi Islands, the Big Buddha viewpoint, the colorful streets of Phuket Old Town and a long chain of west coast beaches from Mai Khao in the north to Kata and Nai Harn in the south.
Who it’s best for
- Best for: couples, golfers and families who want a private pool villa with a full range of resort facilities.
- Consider another resort if: you want to step straight onto the beach from your room or prefer a small boutique hotel.
