15 Best Hotels in Phuket, Thailand | Condé Nast Traveler

"Considered one of the best—and most expensive—places to stay in Phuket, this ultra-luxe property occupies its own cape on the island’s northwest side. Its 39 secluded villas are spacious and pretty, done in modern Thai style and outfitted with ocean-view terraces, private infinity pools, and on-call butlers. The remote location keeps it far from tourist sights, but there’s little incentive to leave anyway, with a gorgeous sunbed-lined pool for lounging and laps and a powdery white beach reserved exclusively for guests. The Jara spa marries sweeping ocean views with soothing Thai massage treatments, while three excellent restaurants enable palm-shaded beachfront dining, including the Michelin-starred Pru and the resort’s famous barbecues at Seafood by Trisara." - Chris Schalkx, Hannah Summers
