Twin Palms

Phuket


White-frangipani trees fringe a maze of artsy minimalist pools at this sleek, contemporary-tropical pick, where you select pillow style and room scent on arrival. Even the simplest rooms are modern and extra-spacious, with oversized bathrooms, sublimely comfortable beds and a sense of calm. Staff are delightfully professional, the Sun Spa is excellent and the beach just minutes away.

The Thai-international restaurant Oriental Spoon does a popular Sunday brunch.

Shuttles run to/from Twin Palms' Catch Beach Club on nearby Ao Bang Thao.
