From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
Silence is golden at this hushed resort overlooking Bang Tao and Layan beaches, where staff deliver seamless service without a sound and know when to leave guests utterly to themselves. Set into the hillside, 21 spacious one-bedroom villas have kitchens that allow for in-room meal preparation, while living rooms have woven organic-fiber furnishings and indigenous fabrics, and French doors separate the bed from a big infinity pool. Days are mostly spent lolling around or receiving a massage under your villa's covered veranda—for those who seek the benefits of quiet seclusion it's ideal. The outdoor hilltop bar, 360, attracts a crowd from across Phuket with its cozy rattan chaises and extensive drinks menu. If you can't be bothered even with this nearby nocturnal outing, the well-stocked "maxi-bar" includes Veuve Clicquot and Häagen-Dazs ice cream in an assortment of flavors.
