Review | Trisara resort offers a rare Phuket experience that is opulent, thoughtful and quiet

Since its establishment in 2004, Trisara has attracted savvy travellers seeking luxury amid seclusion and quiet.

One of the few five-star independent resorts in Phuket, Trisara is part of the Montara Hospitality Group, a family-run Thai company that owns a riverside hotel in Bangkok, and Tri Vananda – Trisara’s nearby sister property – a residential compound located within Phuket’s lush forest.

Perched on a bay overlooking the Andaman Sea, Trisara makes the most of its hilly location. Its 39 villas and 25 residences are situated on different levels, providing unobstructed views of the water and the jungle. With private pools, spacious outdoor patios, plenty of natural light and traditional Thai decor, the villas embrace the surrounding environment while also offering plenty of privacy.

Equipped with amenities such as private cinemas and spa cabins, Trisara’s residences are akin to mini hotels. Each comes with a different design theme – from a cruise ship concept to sleek minimalism. A sight to behold, the 10-bedroom Villa Sawan is a wonderful blend of Thai and Indian architecture where tradition and opulence seamlessly come together.
