"Spanning jungle and beach across seven Thai-inspired buildings, this eco-minded resort outfits rooms with deep soaking tubs and private terraces, and one of five pools is reserved for families. Guests can explore by way of the hotel’s 78-foot private yacht and return to seven restaurants serving Thai cuisine and seafood—the Pine Beach Bar is a local favorite." - The MICHELIN Guide

"An exceptional stay with a temple-like pavilion and two MICHELIN restaurants, located steps from Café Del Mar, a party hotspot." - Pruepat 'Maprang' Songtieng
"The property treats guests to a mega dose of seasonal magic. Twinkling lights, a shimmering Christmas tree, and gleaming decorations set the merry mood. The seven bars and restaurants serve up festive fare, from the southern Thai Christmas Eve tasting menu at Jaras to the indulgent tropical-style beachfront dinner that ends with fireworks at midnight to ring in the new year. At the Planet Trekker kids club, it’s all about crafts (think: Christmas trees and handmade wrapping paper), which make the perfect presents for loved ones." - Lindsay Cohn Lindsay Cohn Lindsay Cohn is a writer, editor, and avid traveler who has visited 45 countries across six continents — and counting.

"After a stroll through a serene garden walkway, you will find this restaurant inside the InterContinental Resort. The Portuguese chef showcases a fermentation-heavy concept on the menu, highlighting new sides to local produce. Leeks, betel leaves and pandan are just some of the ingredients that are given the fermentation treatment, in delicately executed dishes. The natural wine list is in keeping with the restaurant’s ethos, and the intimate atmosphere makes it ideal for a romantic dinner." - Michelin Inspector

"The Intercontinental Phuket Resort has brought together a Portuguese chef and an in-house fermentation expert in one of the island’s most eclectic, forward-thinking fine dining restaurants." - Austin Bush
