This beachside property is set against a backdrop of a rainforest – home to rare species. Rarer still is your experience at this unique hotel. Renowned architect, Bill Bensley helped with the refurb using reclaimed materials and found curios. For example, the iron coffee tables in the lobby were made from grills found in an old Phuket Town factory. The reception counter has been made from driftwood.

There are two infinity pools set in a lush plantation of tropical leaves, where birds of paradise fly. All the popular water sports are available in the warm sea - grasp at jewel-like schools of fish or tear up the surf on water-skis. There are many suites to choose from. The largest have their own private pool and spa. There are six different restaurants. You can eat the famously delicious Thai cuisine or go for the fine dining option at the Rivet Grill. The bar has everything you could wish for and a selection of fine single malts.
