Trisara Phuket

Trisara

Phuket, Thailand

What a contrast from rural northern Thailand to the beaches of Phuket, which looks and feels a lot like Hawaii. And what a spectacular resort of luxury private villas nestled on a hillside overlooking a private cove and the Bay of Bengal. Our great Trisara service started at the airport where a Trisara rep met as after baggage claim and coordinated pickup with a Trisara driver for our short 15 minute drive along the coast south of the airport.

The best photos are usually found on the resort website.

We drove thru the beautifully landscaped entrance and road down to the main complex where we were greeted by front office manager Nadia and General Manager Anthony Lark, who welcome us and informed us that, as we booked thru a Virtuoso agent, he was pleased to be able to upgrade from Ocean View to Ocean Front Villa. The lovely Nadia (sorry no picture) escorted us by golf cart or "buggy" to our spectacular 2,500 sq. foot villa.

Great outdoor shower...

Beautiful lanai and pool area with an amazing ocean view, where we spent most of the day after watching the early morning Super Bowl, and a mid-morning workout at the gym...

Even better at sunset...

Great dinners at the outdoor restaurant overlooking the ocean, with a terrific, friendly staff especially Korn, although not quite as polished as the Four Seasons.

In summary, a beautiful luxury tropical resort with some of the nicest ocean front accommodations we've seen. If you don't like heat and humidity, this may not be the place for you, even in the more temperate winter season.
