Centara Grand Beach Resort
Phuket
It’s rare that a large resort can please
everyone, especially when you are
looking for something quiet and relaxed,
but the Centara Grand Beach Resort
Phuket has that ability. This is a well-
known resort, the sight of which as you
descend to Karon Beach is an integral
part of the Phuket legend.
Built and decorated in Sino-Portuguese
style, the 262 ocean-facing rooms and
facilities are first-class. Stay in one of
the suites with a private pool or even
choose a spacious villa with your very
own plunge pool on the terrace which
also includes the added benefit of the
club privileges. The kids club and water
park are brilliant. Not to mention the
world class Spa!
Centara Villas Phuket
With its warm and romantic setting on
a hillside, offering majestic views of the
ocean,
the Centara Villas is a beautiful,
relaxing haven from the hustle and
bustle of the world. 72 Thai-style villas
have garden or sea views and some
have private pools or spa baths.
Karon Beach, with its sweeping shores,
can be accessed by a coastal pathway
from the swimming pool. As with
so many Phuket hotels, the sunset
view is breath-taking and the two-
tier swimming pool with cascading
waterfalls is the perfect place to
unwind. Guests can also use the
facilities at the Centara Grand Phuket
Resort and there’s a shuttle available
to both Karon and Patong Beaches.

Burasari Patong
The recently renovated Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa is tucked away in Tri-Trang Beach just a few minutes away from Patong Beach.
Relax in a peaceful beachfront location in the midst of natural surroundings and feel like you have found your own hidden paradise.
While you are sipping on a cocktail in the swim-up pool bar or unwinding at the award winning spa, your kids will be kept busy in the
kids club, or splashing away in the kids’ pool – complete with a water slide. Don’t forget to take a shuttle service to explore Patong and
its many attractions.
A beautiful boutique hotel in an idyllic garden setting; if you need comfort, privacy, romance and tranquillity then this is the hotel for
you, although the bustling centre and vibrant beach of Patong are within easy reach.
Wide variety of room styles; classic northern Thai Lanna with antiques and wood carvings; minimalist, airy contemporary Thai style and
the nine fabulous and unique Mood Collection of rooms in themes ranging from artistic to romantic. In a word… beautiful. Head for
Paradise Beach, set in a secluded cove accessible only by 4X4 along a hidden road (charges apply). The Mango daiquiris at the hotel
pool bar are delicious.
One of the few resorts on Phuket with direct beach access, Le Meridien Phuket Beach Resort has its own 500-metre stretch of perfect
beach available to residents.
Ideal for families, the resort has the full complement of non-motorised sports and recreational facilities, including two huge swimming
pools. There’s a kids club catering for 4-12 year olds, an award winning spa for the grown-ups and no less than 10 restaurants on site.
Don’t miss the daily beach barbeque (weather permitting) and get sporty and then watch the sun sink slowly below the horizon from
the Sunset bar. With Patong and Karon minutes away, getting bored is just not an option.
Kata Palm Resort and Spa
Centrally located; close to shopping,
bars and restaurants and only a short
walk to Kata beach.
Two large swimming pools with
swim up bars cater for cooling and
quenching of thirst while all grades of
accommodation offer private balconies
with views of the pool or tropical
greenery.
Pure Thai-style décor with rich colours,
ornate woods and drapery. Lovely! If
you can’t even face a short walk, there
is a free shuttle to Kata Beach or stay
in house and indulge in a spa treatment
at the tranquil Warintorn Spa or a Thai
poolside massage.
