Absolute Twin Sands Resort & Spa  

On Phuket’s peninsular west coast, perched between two white-sand beaches with panoramic Andaman Sea views. Minutes from Tri Trang Beach and a short 5-minute drive to Patong Beach and the nightlife of Bangla Road. Close to local sights like Simon Cabaret and Banana Walk, this 4-star resort & spa puts beach and city within easy reach.

Contemporary apartments and penthouses feature private balconies and sweeping sea vistas. Rooms come with kitchenettes (fridge, microwave and some with stovetops), separate dining and sleeping areas, air-conditioning and 32-inch LCDs. Expect modern décor, bathrobes and slippers, and a design that’s clean, bright and breezy.

A full-service spa offers massages, body treatments and facials while a fitness center keeps workouts honest. The resort has multiple outdoor pools (including a waterslide), a spa tub, sauna and a poolside bar — perfect for sea-breeze mornings and lazy sun-soaked afternoons. Shuttle/transfer service and onsite parking are available.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout keeps you connected. The property also offers a 24-hour front desk, multilingual staff and a safe-deposit box.

Multiple on-site dining options include a restaurant, a coffee shop/café and a poolside bar. The kitchen serves Thai and Western dishes with regional flavors on the menu, and continental breakfast is offered for a fee each morning. Limited room service is available if you’d rather dine on your balcony with sea views.
