1. Swim in the stars and enjoy Phuket, Los Angeles-style! – Aleenta Resort & Spa Phuket

Modern doesn’t even begin to cut it. Aleenta has truly outdone themselves with the architecture and layout of their resort. Their rooms all come with their own private pools, but the Pool Suite definitely takes the cake.

It has a bit of a Los Angeles vibe to it, with its modern design and airy floor to ceiling glass walls.

Step out of the Pool Suite and you’ll find a semi outdoor sunken tub for (semi) private soaks. Next, get out of the tub take 2 steps forward, and you can jump into your private pool! When done, you can simply continue walking forward to the beach that’s waiting ahead.

What better way to wrap up a fun and relaxing day, than being lulled to sleep by the sound of crashing waves? To top it all of, the views here is a beautiful panoramic scene of the beach.

PS: If a dip is something you’re craving for, the lights in Aleenta’s infinity pool is nothing short of magical – if you get a photo taken from the right angle, it might even look as though you were swimming in the stars.

2. Hidden paradise of blue lagoons and four poster beach beds  – Thavorn Beach Village Resort & Spa Phuket

The private and unspoilt Nakalay Beach is only 3 steps away from Thavorn Beach Village’s Beachfront Cottage.

A little private villa styled in a minimalist mixture of Thai contemporary and colonial architecture designs – it’s a pretty picture made even prettier with clear skies and sapphire seas. The cottages also come fitted with semi outdoor tropical showers.

The resort also boasts one of the largest free form lagoons in South East Asia. It truly is a blue lagoon paradise. When you want a dose of nightlife, you’ll be glad to take the free shuttle to Patong for parties and eats!

3. Two private pools and the ocean at your door – Novotel Phuket Kamala Beach

Crashing waves at your doorstep, sounds like our ideal home. But if you can’t make it forever, at least you can have the experience!

Check out the 2 Bedroom Pool Villa, it has not just one but two private pools! It’s very much like a cosy and luxurious beachfront cabin that’ll make for great memories – and you’ll love the views of the ocean right from your bed.

The villa is set up with a separate deck with lounge chairs. You’ll also have access to your own rainwater shower, a spa bath and complimentary coffee! You just need to get the espresso machine going.

You’ll also be a short few minutes drive away from attractions like Phuket FantaSea and Kamala Village. But why would you want to leave this beautiful place?

4. Find heaven on earth: Andaman White Beach Resort

If you are looking for a quiet retreat with your loved one in Phuket, you can’t miss Andaman White Beach Resort, which is privately nestled on a secluded white sand beach with endless views of the Andaman sea.

Perfect for your honeymoon or your anniversary!

What can be more refreshing than enjoying a morning soak in the luxurious oceanfront main pool?

If you aren’t a morning person, simply roll out of bed whenever you want and watch the waves crash against the shore right outside your bedroom. They say watching the sea is therapeutic, and we can’t disagree!

After breakfast (or brunch) in bed, step out onto the soft white sand and spend the day chilling on the sunbed (under the shelter if you don’t want to be directly under the midday sun!).

And how can you not enjoy the romantic sunset from your pool with a cocktail or two? This is the perfect setting to have a long-awaited heart-to-heart chat with your partner.

Dinner is either a Thai or international affair at Tom Yam Thai Restaurant or Mareblu Restaurant respectively. But if you don’t want to venture too far from the sea, you don’t have to! Why not dine at the open-air oceanfront Coconut Bar and Terrace that’s merely steps away from the sand?

Yes, you know you’ve just found heaven on earth.

5. It’s a country club transformed into a huge resort village! – Outrigger Laguna Phuket Beach Resort

The Premier Seaview with Terrace is charming, with a windowbed overlooking the sparkling oceans. Decorated in modern Thai accents, you will feel like you’ve been transported into a dream.

They offer BBQ services which you can enjoy right there by the beach at their signature restaurant. If you’re craving a drink, there’s a beachside bar to check into.

Otherwise, you can race your friends on the water with a couple canoes or go biking! But we’d lie in the shallows and let the waves rock us, as we soak up the last rays of the sun.

11. Special Mention: Reconnect with nature at this picturesque paradise – GLOW Elixir Koh Yao Yai

While not in Phuket, GLOW Elixir Koh Yao Yai deserves a special mention. Touted as ‘The Natural Side of Phuket’, the resort is surrounded by evergreen trees and well maintained shrubbery.

The villas are all standalone, with a healthy distance away from each other to give you that sense of community without being intrusive. Featuring fine carpentry, the resort is constructed with wooden structures that give it character and does not contrast with the nature surrounding it.
