                                                                        Rosewood Phuket

There are, of course, a few 5-star hotels, but Rosewood takes the luxury to a new level. The restaurants are beautiful and serve delicious Thai food. The hotel has direct access to the peaceful Tri Trang Beach and is only 5 km away from busy Patong.

                                                                          The Pavillion Phuket
