"Increasingly, it takes something special to stand out among Phuket’s crop of luxury boutique hotels. Part of what sets Noku Phuket quite literally apart from the competition is its inland setting, on a hilltop overlooking Chalong Bay, near the island’s southern extremity. It gives up direct beach access for a unique elevated infinity pool, as well as a number of private pools attached to the larger units. And for many guests — think of Ubud in Bali — the forest is a fine substitute for a view of the sea." - Tablet Hotels
