Practical perks include free resort-wide WiFi, complimentary on-site parking, airport transfers, multilingual staff that speaks Chinese, English, Thai, and more, and 24/7 security.

Local Attractions

Three standout nearby attractions make this resort an ideal base for exploring northwest Phuket:

• Bang Tao Beach: Just steps from the resort, this 6-kilometer stretch of soft golden sand is far less crowded than Phuket’s busy Patong or Kata beaches. Spend your day lounging on the resort’s beach chairs, trying stand-up paddleboarding, or walking the quiet shoreline at sunset.
• Phuket FantaSea: Located 10 minutes from the resort, this iconic cultural theme park offers dazzling nighttime shows, traditional Thai handicraft markets, and a sprawling buffet dinner, perfect for a fun family night out.
• Blue Canyon Country Club: Just 3 kilometers from the resort, this championship 18-hole golf course is consistently ranked one of Thailand’s best, with rolling fairways, lush tropical greenery, and views of the Andaman Sea, ideal for golf enthusiasts.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance to secure ocean-view rooms, especially during peak season (November to February). The resort offers paid airport transfers, which are far more convenient than hailing a taxi on arrival—arrange this when you book your room. If you plan to explore the island beyond the resort, the resort offers car and bike rental services on-site, and all major attractions in northwest Phuket are within a 20-minute drive. Don’t miss the resort’s weekly cooking class, where you can learn to make classic Thai curries to take home a new skill from your trip.
