Rosewood Phuket

The place

Rosewood Phuket keeps to the 600-meter beachfront of Emerald Bay, a five-star island escape built around quiet. The 71 pavilions and villas begin at 1,300 square feet, each with contemporary furnishings, a private plunge pool, Frette linens and a deep soaking bathtub set outdoors.

Beyond your own water, a pool complex unfolds — a free-form infinity pool, a lap pool, a children’s pool — and white sand runs down to the bay. The Asaya spa, a 24-hour fitness center and a padel court round out the days. Four culinary concepts move from authentic Thai recipes to hearty Italian dishes.
