"Hidden behind palms on the edge of Bangtao Beach, Twinpalms Tented Resort rewrites the Phuket escape. Think canvas roofs and four-poster beds, but with rain showers, leather armchairs, and 24-hour butlers on call. Twenty-four lagoon-facing tents sit along a lily-dotted waterway, most with plunge pools and private decks; five more open directly onto the sand. The palette stays neutral, rattan, dark wood, soft linen, letting the jungle and water do the work. Somewhere between a tent and a villa, it gets the balance just right." - Tablet Hotels
