JW Marriott Phuket Resort and Spa

Address: 231 Moo 3

Description:
The clean lined luxury of the Marriott could make a haiku poet out of anyone. Along the windswept stretch of sand and roaring surf along desolate Mai Khao beach, this resort is a masterpiece of luxury and service. Arrivals at night will awe to the opulence of oversized torches lining the circular drive and the wide, low pavilions of the lobby surround an enormous, black reflecting pool that sparkles with torchlight. There are no services outside of the hotel and it is a 30-minute drive to the nearest tourist area, but the resort facilities are complete and guests needn't leave. Rooms are private getaways with open-plan bathrooms, a small meditation and reading corner with Thai cushions and lovely balconies that give way to sumptuous gardens: A hidden Eden. Service at the Marriott is of a standard far beyond any of the many hotels and resorts of Phuket. Come to the Marriott to leave it all behind, enjoy fine spa treatments, sports, activities, and fine dining. And you can write that haiku in your private meditation corner. The hotel can arrange transport anywhere on the island and there are a host of fine excursions to choose from at their helpful tour desk.
