Trisara, which in Sanskrit means the ‘third garden in heaven’, is one of the most exclusive resorts in South East Asia. Nestled in a secluded cove, this tropical paradise feels completely hidden amidst ancient ficus trees, breezy coconut and fishtail palms. All of its gorgeous villas and residences sit on the terraced hillsides, and embrace stunning views of the aquamarine Andaman Sea from private pool decks. Blending traditional Thai accents with a contemporary touch, interiors feature crisp linens atop king beds, teak accents and outdoor showers.

Refreshingly peaceful, the resort has a spa rooted in traditional Thai healing practices, whilst its chefs make the most of the bounty of fresh, local produce at their disposal. The private beach is sheltered by two forest headlands, with a coral reef for some wonderful snorkelling. If you’d like to explore further, a dedicated PADI dive centre offers excursions to some of the best dive sites in the region, with luxury motor yachts also on hand for half and full-day cruises along Phuket’s beautiful coastline. Kayaking, windsurfing and sailing are also on the menu.
