When the calendar hits November, the sky turns clear, the sea becomes blue and the cool breeze starts to blow—travel season in the Andaman provinces has begun.
Ten minutes (or five, if your taxi drives fast) away from Phuket International Airport, which has just unveiled its new international terminal, the Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa Naiyang Beach lies peacefully on a tranquil beach surrounded by lush greenery—perfect for a quiet weekend. Fine furnishings and contemporary décor that borrow inspiration from its natural surroundings—an artist’s impression of nok krong hua jook, a local bird, adorn the entire resort, for instance—help create a pleasant and relaxing ambiance. (We almost forget that this is not a brand-new resort but a refurbished property from a retreat called Adamas.) This low-rise sanctuary houses 11 types of guest rooms, ranging from a compact deluxe garden view room to a beachfront villa—ideal for deep-pocketed weekenders.
Situated at the center of the resort is Quan Spa, where you can pamper yourself with indulgent treatments. One level up is an all-day dining restaurant where they serve an impressive selection of both local and international cuisine. There’s a seafood restaurant, Big Fish, by the beach and a bar for a waterside wining and dining experience.
The giant swimming pool invites energetic laps or poolside lazing. There’s a fitness center for gym rats and a kids’ club to keep your little angels busy. The only catch: the resort requires the use of stairs so elderly guests always have to call for a buggy as an alternative for getting around the resort.
