The 30 Best Hotels in Thailand for Delicious Food, Friendly Service, and Great Views | Condé Nast Traveler

"The Thai island of Phuket has grown up from a backpackers’ hangout to a serious hotel destination. Rosewood Phuket is leading the pack, and from the drive-up alone, you know this place is special: Lots of blond wood and imposing flagstones, with a breezy and spaced-out design. Free-standing bungalows go up and down the hillside, while pools, the spa, and bars and restaurants are scattered throughout. The set-up lets the property breathe—you never feel like you're sharing space with many others, even when the resort is full. And the Andaman Sea is visible from just about everywhere." - Chris Schalkx, Lee Cobaj
