Rosewood Phuket

Phuket is reclaiming its beauty through properties designed with the local environment and culture in mind. Cue Rosewood Phuket, an all-villa hotel that offers three tiers of accommodation: Pavilions, Villas and Houses. Each is a freestanding structure surrounded by sprawling tropical foliage and at least one private pool. The most luxurious tier is the Houses, designed in the stately manor style that has become a Rosewood signature. Bangkok landscape architects PLA’s design spans ecosystems from untamed jungle to meandering walkways through manicured tropical gardens to a long stretch of blond beachfront that grants guests direct access to the Andaman Sea. Be sure to visit the property’s Thai restaurant Ta Khai; complete with an organic herb and vegetable garden, it is helmed by a lovely chef couple who once operated a local street food stall.
