Sri Panwa Phuket

Perched high atop Cape Panwa and commanding a breathtaking, 360–degree panoramic views of the Andaman Sea, the stylish villa resort Sri Panwa has a natural beauty that rivals any in Phuket.

Modern and traditional at the same time, the magnificent glass-walled villas all have luxury features including infinity pools, outdoor rain showers, sunset pavilions… and glorious sea views from large beds.

Lavishly appointed with luxurious linens, handcrafted furnishings and local Asian touches, each of the private pool villas comes equipped with all the latest mod cons, including free WiFi and an in-room cinema system. Guests can pick Pool Suites, 1 to 2 bedroom Pool Villas, or 3-5 bedroom Residence Villas—these are ideal for families or small groups of friends.

Sri Panwa’s restaurant concept, Baba, has three locations. Soul Food at Baba Dining Lounge offers an intimate Thai dining experience with stunning sunset views. The Baba Poolclub, a restaurant that is also a 5000 square meter entertainment outlet, has a big selective menu to match its size. Daytime and evening menus are eclectic, with a predominance of Asian dishes. The most recent addition to the restaurant family is Baba Nest, a rooftop bar with an infinity pool that wraps around a floating deck, with 360-degree views of the sea. It’s the ultimate hangout for a sundowner.

The hotel has also a private beach with a swimming pool, beach club, and a multi-level Cool Spa, featuring six private waterfall treatment rooms, a steam room, and outdoor pavilions. It’s a palace of relaxation, best visited during the heat of the day.
