Tucked into a lush nature preserve overlooking the Andaman Sea, this Phuket hideaway isn’t just another luxury beach escape – Trisara takes high-end hospitality to new levels. Sanskrit for “The Garden in the Third Heaven,” it’s an apt name for a property that takes relaxation to a destination that borders on the spiritual.

With just 60 ocean-facing pool villas and private residences, Trisara keeps things intimate, allowing guests to drift between a private beach, the Jara Spa, and three standout dining venues. Of the three venues, PRU is the obvious stand-out as the only Michelin-starred restaurant in Southern Thailand, where farm-to-table isn’t a gimmick, it’s a philosophy born in the resort’s organic garden.

While the chaos of Phuket is just 15 minutes away, Trisara remains blissfully detached, as a spot you can disconnect, unwind, and sip cocktails in your infinity pool knowing the only thing you need to worry about is what time to book your next massage. If uncompromising tropical luxury is what you’re after, Trisara delivers
