Spa hotels in Phuket

Renaissance Phuket Resort and Spa was an amazing experience. The room is clean, comfortable and spacious with a wonderful plunge pool for those hot Thai afternoons. The hotel went over and beyond to accommodate us, we had a very late flight we were given a late check-out (19:00 pm) so that we could freshen up before heading to the airport. This was so appreciated and thoughtful. The spa was just as great. We had various treatments and all were beyond our expectations. I can’t wait to return on our next Phuket trip. The only location of the hotel is far away from the popular tourist spots, but this made it even better as the beach wasn’t crowded and had a more chilled vibe. It’s also much closer to the airport for easy transfers.

The staff here are all very friendly and extremely enthusiastic. We especially appreciate Rach's proactive and friendly service. Although the lobby is a bit far from the rooms and we had to call the front desk every time we went out or came back, the shuttle service arrived very quickly and never delayed us. Even when we returned late, there were always staff members on standby to drive us back to our room immediately. The hotel provides shuttle services to and from the Old Town and Central Festival. It would be even better if we could take the shuttle to the Old Town and then be picked up from Central Festival on the return trip. The room was spacious, clean, and the air conditioning was excellent, though the water pressure was a bit weak. The hotel environment is quiet and peaceful, making it a perfect place to relax. I would definitely want to stay at this hotel again!

Phuket's top choice! I picked this place because I didn't want to deal with the hassle and sun exposure of island hopping, and it was absolutely amazing. The room layouts are very well-planned, and the overall resort vibe is fantastic! When checking in, there's a separate reception area where they go through all the hotel details with you in a very attentive, almost 'kneeling' manner. We stayed at The Surin before this, and this place is even better! The service is also exceptional! It's truly a great spot to just relax and unwind. Wow, I'll definitely be back!

I stayed here ten years ago. Perhaps due to some Chinese superstitions, there weren't many Chinese guests, and breakfast was primarily Western-style. Of course, the room facilities can't compare to newly opened hotels in China, given that this is an established resort. Aside from that, the resort ambiance was fantastic. On the day we checked in, which was my child's birthday, they thoughtfully sent a birthday cake while we were out – a nice little surprise. The hotel is situated in a quiet yet central location in Patong. The pool is huge, offering expansive views directly facing the sea. On clear days, you can watch the sunset from the pool. It's separated from the beach by just a small road, making it very convenient for beach activities or simply relaxing. We stayed in a swim-up room for two nights, which felt more like a private pool. However, with kids, we preferred the main pool, mainly for the better views. We basically spent our days by the pool and evenings at the beach. There's a good massage place and restaurant right by the hotel's main entrance. They're next to each other, and the restaurant, belonging to the neighboring hotel, has a trendy, Instagrammable vibe and is popular with many foreigners. If the hotel breakfast isn't to your liking, you can have brunch there; we ate there several times and also had massages for a few days straight. This trip, we stayed in both Karon and Patong, but next time, I'd only choose Patong – it's much more convenient for going out and exploring.

Was so pampered here - a little out of the way, and you’ll need buggy service to go anywhere but worth coming!

The hotel was good value for money overall, but unfortunately we had several issues with our first room. The biggest problem was the air-conditioning system. The room had a noticeable musty smell, which appeared to be related to poor AC maintenance and condensation drainage. The condensate was leaking onto the floor, and the system appeared to have problems with drainage. When AC systems are not properly cleaned and maintained, moisture can remain in the condensate tray, drain lines and around the cooling coil. Standing water, dirt and organic debris can create conditions where microbial growth and biofilm can develop, which can contribute to the typical musty or damp smell associated with poorly maintained AC systems. The condensation was also leaking onto the floor, which caused our toddler to trip and hurt herself. The hotel sent a mechanic three times to try to fix the issue, but unfortunately it could not be resolved. After complaining again, they wanted to send the mechanic for a fourth time, which I declined. I went down to reception to resolve the situation, and after some discussion they finally moved us to another building. The room change did not feel like an upgrade, as the new building was much further from the facilities and pool. However, the second room was noticeably better maintained, smelled much fresher, and we experienced no further AC problems. There was also a serious safety concern with the balcony doors. Both balcony doors in the old room initially could not be locked properly. With a toddler who is capable of opening doors herself, this is much more than a minor maintenance issue it creates a genuine safety risk, particularly with a balcony. Thankfully, the mechanic came and fixed both locks within around 10 minutes. The mechanic himself was excellent, very helpful and clearly did his best throughout our stay. The pool was one of the highlights. It was large, clean and had a separate kids’ area, which was great for our toddler. A particularly big plus was the pool bar staff. They were extremely friendly, attentive and genuinely kind. They even gave our daughter a free drink and fruit whenever we ordered cocktails or soft drinks. They really made us feel welcome. One downside was the condition of the pool loungers. Many looked dirty, heavily worn and had numerous patched-up holes. They were not inviting to lie on, so we didn’t use them. The fabric should either be cleaned much more regularly or replaced with something more durable and easier to maintain. Another unusual design choice was the location of the saunas. The two saunas, one for men and one for women, are tucked away inside the separate toilet/changing-room areas next to the pool. This makes the sauna experience feel more like an extension of the bathroom facilities rather than a dedicated wellness area. It is also inconvenient for couples, as men and women have to use separate saunas. If you want to relax together, you would need to pay extra to use the spa facilities instead. A shared sauna would make much more sense for a resort style hotel. There is also construction next door, which can be quite annoying at times. But it was not as bad as I expected. Overall, the hotel has a lot of potential and the staff were generally friendly and helpful, but for a hotel that is only around three years old, we expected better maintenance and room quality. Unfortunately, because of our experience with the first room, the AC problems and the balcony door safety issue, we don’t think we would return.

Very pleasant hotel right by the beach with beautiful infinity pools. The beach is nice, but there are a lot of stones and loose corals when you enter the water, so you need to be careful. The room is good, but the air conditioning blows directly onto the bed, and you can't adjust the temperature of the outgoing air, which is approximately 10-15 degrees Celsius. The air conditioning turns off once the set temperature on the thermostat is reached.

We had a wonderful stay at Le Méridien Mai Khao Phuket – it’s an ideal resort for families. The kids club is fantastic with lots of fun activities and a dedicated kids pool that kept our little one entertained throughout the day. Adults can also enjoy relaxing and engaging experiences – we especially loved the morning yoga sessions right on the beach, which was such a refreshing way to start the day. The resort offers direct access to a beautiful, quiet stretch of beach, perfect for peaceful walks or lounging by the sea. The staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. Our room was spacious and comfortable, great for a family stay. And the breakfast buffet had a wide variety of options – something for everyone. Highly recommend for families looking for a relaxing and fun getaway in Phuket!

Spectacular views of the sea from the rooms make this resort a winner for feelings of peace and solitude. My room included a ceiling fan and a separate rain shower next to the bath tub. A massive free breakfast buffet starts the day for most guests, with changing options on a daily basis. Before breakfast I walked down the steep driveway to the private beach to swim either in the sea or the small pool next to it. At 7 am there is nobody around. One morning I took out a kayak (one hour free) which had stunning panoramic views. There are two swimming pools by the resort’s main building and both are delightful for swimming and relaxing. Nothing much to do in the evening and the TV channel selection could be expanded with movie channels (e.g., HBO, Cinemax), educational channels like Discovery Asia, and nature channels like BBC Earth and Love Nature. I partook in a 90 minute herbal pack massage which was a bit pricy but very professional. Both lunch and dinner menus have sufficient variety of dishes and food quality was good. Staff were always helpful. In summary, Supalai Scenic Bay Resort is a wonderfully serene experience at a very reasonable room price.          

Overall, I had a pleasant stay at Sunset Beach Resort. The facilities are a bit dated, but they are well maintained, which I truly appreciate. You can tell the resort takes good care of what it has. The location is generally fine, though the beach directly in front of the resort isn’t the best. Patong Beach is about a 300+ meter walk away, which is manageable, just something to note for guests who expect a beachfront swimming spot. The only part that slightly affected our experience was the shuttle service — not a big issue, but a memorable one. On 1 February, around 5:30 PM, we informed the front desk that we needed the 6:30 PM shuttle to Bangla Street. We even confirmed it twice and were told to sit and wait, as the staff would notify us when the shuttle arrived. We made sure they knew exactly where we were waiting. By 7:00 PM, after no update, we went back to the front desk only to be told that the shuttle had already left. The staff apologized and admitted she had overlooked us, and arranged the next shuttle. Nothing serious — just an unexpected extra 30 minutes of “resort relaxation time” we hadn’t planned for. 😊 Still, aside from this hiccup, the stay was comfortable, and with a bit more attention to shuttle coordination, the experience would be even better.
