Top choice in Phuket


One of Phuket's most original megaresorts takes its design cues from the island’s tin-mining history. Mining hardware features in the delicate decor; doors to the sleek contemporary rooms and villas are made of distressed metal. The best rooms have pools and outdoor baths. Culinary offerings include fantastic Thai at Black Ginger, and there's the brilliant Coqoon Spa plus three pools (one is adults-only).

'Activities range from Pilates and yoga to stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) and kayaking, and bikes are available to borrow. Two-room suites and villas and a kids' club cater to families.
