Dewa Phuket Review

Dewa Phuket Resort and Villas is a luxury hotel located in the tranquil area of Nai Yang Beach, just a short distance from Phuket International Airport, on the west coast of Phuket Island. The hotel offers a peaceful and serene environment, making it an ideal choice for travellers who want a relaxing getaway rather than the hectic beaches of Patong or Kata Beaches. Nai Yang is a surprisingly well-balanced area with beach restaurants, local markets, a Thai temple and a superb beach at a short walking distance from Dewa Phuket.

Rooms and Villas

The hotel offers a mix of rooms, pool villas and suites: Deluxe Room (38 sqm), Deluxe Garden (38 sqm), Pool Villa (70 sqm), Grand Pool Villa (100 sqm), Garden Pool Villa (130 sqm), One Bedroom Suite (67 sqm) and Two Bedroom Suite (110-145 sqm, 6 guests). Each unit is elegantly furnished and equipped with modern amenities such as air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, minibars, and complimentary Wi-Fi.

I booked a pool villa and got upgraded to a Grand Pool Villa, which was superb. The room is beautifully decorated and the layout creates a perfect living space, with the bed in the back and a comfortable living area with large sofas in the front. The bathroom is large and bright with a big welcoming bathtub.

The villa comes with a small garden, a dining table with two chairs, two loungers with an umbrella, an outdoor shower and a pool of decent size. Most importantly, guests can enjoy total privacy, another rare luxury on the island.

Restaurants and Dining

Dewa Phuket has one restaurant called Green & Bean (7 am to 11 pm) and a pool bar (11 am to 11 pm).

Green & Bean

Green & Bean is a café inside Dewa Phuket Resort, set just across the road from Nai Yang Beach on the island’s northwest coast. It opens early at 7 am, which makes it handy since the airport is only about 10 minutes away. The space has a green colour theme with a relaxed, tropical feel and pretty photo corners. The all-day menu covers breakfast right through to light mains, with avocado toast, healthy bowls, family options, coffee, smoothies and good matcha. Being part of the resort, the service and ingredients are a step up from the usual airport cafés.

Facilities

One of the highlights of Dewa Phuket is its beautiful swimming pool area. The resort has a lagoon-style pool surrounded by tropical gardens, with plenty of space to spread out even when the hotel is busy.

Dewa Phuket suits travellers who want a quiet beach and a calm base, away from the busier resort towns. It is a short drive from the airport, which makes it an easy choice for a first or last night, and the rooms and pool villas work well for couples and families alike.

Lime Leaf Spa

The resort has its own spa in the middle of the gardens, the Lime Leaf Spa. It is small and quiet, with spacious double treatment rooms, so two people can have their massage side by side rather than in separate rooms. The therapists are trained in-house and the oils are blended on site.

The signature treatment is the Lime Leaf Massage, a tailor-made massage with aromatic oils that comes in 60 or 90 minutes. If you prefer something firmer, the Dewa Sport Massage uses long, strong strokes for tired muscles. There is also a traditional Thai massage done without oil, plus body scrubs and wraps and a White Tea Sea Salt Scrub. The Signature Collection adds a few more unusual treatments, including a coconut shell massage.

The nice touch here is that you do not have to go to the spa at all. The therapists will come to your room and turn it into a treatment room for the session, which is a real luxury if you have a pool villa. You can also book a massage in a cabana right next to the main pool and have a drink from the pool bar afterwards.

The spa is open from 10 am to 8 pm. It is popular, so it is worth booking at least a day ahead, especially in high season.

The Fitness

The fitness centre is large and well-equipped with weights and machines.

Nearby Nai Yang Beach

The superb and often understated beach of Nai Yang is just across the street from the hotel, then a short walk under the trees to reach the ocean. The area facing the hotel is quiet and natural as part of the Sirinat National Park. The small village of Nai Yang is just 500 metres south of the hotel and you can choose to walk there on the shaded road, or the sandy beach, which is a lot nicer. As you approach the village you will meet a lot of little food and fruit carts on each side of the road. Some sell day trip tours and souvenirs as well.

Nai Yang Village is a small but lovely and relaxing place with restaurants, including a few of them right on the sand, which is a rare luxury nowadays in Phuket. There are bars, massage shops or massage on the beach, and of course, a couple of tailors. You can even try scuba diving and Kite surfing during the low season (May to November). Nai Yang has always been one of my favourite hideaways to stay away from the crowds.

North of the hotel is the Sirinath National Park where locals come to picnic or even camping.
