Phuket’s former glory as a tin mining centre is reflected in the quirky design. Accommodation include elegantly appointed Suites and Pool Suites; eight Pool Villas offer the epitome of luxury living. Multifarious dining options range from traditional Thai specialities at Black Ginger – reached by boat – to themed buffets at the Tin Mine.

There is also a snooker bar and poolside café. Ascend the lantern-lit steps to the nest-like Coqoon spa hidden amongst the Banyan trees, or soak up the sun on the easily accessible beach. Two of the resort’s three swimming pools are adult only; further attractions include a kids’ club and Thai cooking school.
