Marina Phuket Resort  

Perched on a headland between Kata and Karon Beaches on Phuket’s west coast, set inside 17 acres of private tropical garden and coconut plantation. About 45 minutes from Phuket International Airport, with public-transport links within walking distance and easy access to Karon Beach, Kata Porpeang Market, Dino Park Mini Golf, Chalong Temple, Phrom Thep Cape and Phuket View Point.

Modern Thai décor and wooden flooring run through the suites and villas. Rooms include private balconies, refrigerators and flat-screen TVs, with en suite showers. Deluxe Villas overlook the Andaman Sea and offer direct access to Karon Beach for snorkeling right off the shore. The property is non-smoking and has 89 rooms after a 2007 renovation.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, sip cocktails at the pool bar or stroll straight onto the beach for sea-breeze mornings and snorkeling. Relax with a traditional Thai massage, book island tours at the desk, or pop into the on-site mini-supermarket. Front desk is open 24 hours; laundry and parking are available.

Wi‑Fi is available across the property and in guest rooms to keep you connected.

Multiple on-site restaurants and a beachfront eatery serve local and international fare, with cozy spots dishing up Thai specialties. A pool bar keeps the drinks flowing and room service is available.
