A tropical paradise familiar to discerning travelers, InterContinental Phuket Resort complements the island’s appeal with additional insights and travel tips.  From locally immersive experiences to natural attractions, InterContinental Phuket Resort serves as a luxurious sanctuary while explorers discover the island in a refreshing light.  After an active day, travelers can indulge their senses with Romantic Escape to complete their enriching Phuket Island adventure.

1. Beach bar & lounge with stunning sunset views

A new landmark on Kamala Beach, InterContinental Phuket Resort adds glamour to the prestigious “Millionaire’s Beach”.  Strategically located to capture Phuket’s best sunsets, Pine Beach Bar transforms into a social enclave.  Wind down with delicious cocktails, refreshing craft ciders and artisanal Gin & Tonics concocted by the resort’s master mixologist, and enjoy the refreshing sea breeze with loved ones.

2. Night Market

On weekend evenings, watch the sleepy streets of Old Phuket Town burst to life as a myriad of street hawkers set up shop on the beautifully renovated Thalang Road.  The Night Market is a wonderful opportunity for guests to discover southern Thai culinary specialties and local handicrafts as they create exciting new memories together.

3. Luxurious lounge with exclusive benefits

After long hours of standing, guests can relax at the spacious InterContinental Ocean View room, boasting serene views of the ocean or venture out to the expansive Club InterContinental® Lounge. The signature lounge features an impressive unobtrusive butler service, a second-floor beach vista frontage as well as an infinity pool for guests looking to get a relaxing evening’s swim.

4. Interactive activities for younger guests

Families with little ones can look forward to Planet Trekkers Kids Club, the resort’s fully-supervised jungle-themed hideout filled with safe and interactive activities ideal for junior adventurers. 

5. Locally inspired culinary delights

After working up an appetite, the young and young-at-heart can head to Jaras for an inspiring modern Thai feast, perfectly paired with heartfelt Thai service.  All ingredients at Jaras are sustainably sourced from local fishermen and farmers.

6. Bespoke excursions to Koh Phi Phi, (7.) Big Buddha, (8.) Phromthep Cape

For the perfect daytime excursion, take a short boat trip to the stunning island of Koh Phi Phi, famous throughout the world for its astonishing beauty.  An idyllic island retreat with beautiful beaches, amazing snorkeling and sparkling turquoise seas, its memorable backdrop makes for a dreamy getaway.  If sight-seeing is on the agenda, head to Phuket’s iconic Big Buddha to admire one of the island’s most sacred attractions or enjoy stunning vistas of the Andaman Sea from Phromthep Cape (Laem Phromthep). 

9. Holistic wellness journey

Nestled in Thailand’s forested hills of Kamala Bay, Sati Spa® and Wellness offers treatments and rituals deeply rooted in traditional Asian healing arts.  Designed to promote mindfulness and wellbeing, it rejuvenates the body and soul after the excitement of exploring Phuket’s unique sights and sounds.
