Marina Phuket Resort...Where nature and artistic culture harmonize for your pleasure...

Garden View Rooms: Marina Phuket Resort's firts cottages, these units retain their unique charm. Simple, functional, and bright with big glass windows, the Garden View Rooms afford superb views through lush gardens sloping to the sea. The front porch, surronded with tropical greenery, makes a perfecr place to enjoy private sundowners before dinner.

Jungle View Rooms: These luxurious units are both airy and spacious and cosy and intimate.Ideal for honeymoons, whether first or second, the Jungle View Rooms offer sumptuous comfort and total privacy. The dark teak floors, furniture and trim contrast pleasingly with light cream walls complemented by rich golden accents such as the Jim Thompson silk headboard panels. Other Thai touches include glass doors with gold-leaf appliqué.

Ocean View Rooms: From the time you enter an Ocean View Room, you find yourself embraced by a special tropical magic. Your senses are almost overwhelmed by the highly polished wood floors with their gorgeous colour and grain, by the patterned silk highlights, the elegant carving in the wall recess behind the bed head, the carved door lintels over the doors to bathroom and deck and other understated hints of traditional Thai wood carving.

Grand Villas: Perched on a headland facing the sunset and overlooking scenic seaside rocks and beach below, the Grand Villas enjoy the very best location on west-coast Phuket’s famous Karon Beach. Sweeping sea views are an integral design element of each Grand Villa. Already big at 80 square metres, the Grand Villa’s lavish internal spaces are vastly expanded by their openness to the truly exceptional natural surroundings. Whether you are writing letters in the study area, lounging in bed, washing up, soaking in the Jacuzzi or having a sundowner on the deck, you have views of the water.

RESTAURANTS On the Rock serves excellent seafood and thai dishes. Long a favourite with visitors and locals alike, it lies just outside the range of the surf and presents sweeping views of the sea and Karon Beach. This is the best spot on the island from which to admire the sunset. From On the Rock, you can also watch friends and family snorkelling while you enjoy a leisurely breakfast or lunch.

Sala Thai, offering an extensive menu of both Thai and Continental dishes, overlooks a remarkable two-level pool nestled in a fairytale jungle glen. The distinctively Thai atmosphere is created in part by the traditionally inspired architecture, in part by the traditional Thai musicians and dancers who perform in the evenings.
