15 Best Hotels in Phuket, Thailand | Condé Nast Traveler

"To call it “glamping” would undersell the whole experience at this Twinpalms hideaway, where one- and two-bedroom tents are fronted by a winding lagoon dotted with lily pads and bordered by tropical greenery, with an additional five one-bedroom tents situated directly on the beach. Each tent is kitted out with king-size four-poster beds, large bathrooms with rain showers, air conditioning, and 24-hour butler service, and some of the lagoon tents have outdoor decks with private plunge pools and expansive living areas. Neutral tones, rattan and brown leather furnishings, and antique-style wooden pieces characterize each indoor space so elegantly that interiors barely resemble a tent at all. There’s no on-site dining, but guests can walk or take a shuttle to Twinpalms’ portfolio of restaurants, and there is an on-site tent spa where therapists take a holistic approach by combining contemporary and traditional Thai healing treatments and using organic products." - Chris Schalkx, Hannah Summers
