Phuket Heritage Meets Contemporary Chic A stay at the Indigo Pearl in Phuket is nothing like your conventional beach resort vacation. Inspired by an old tin mine, the hotel’s landscape (spiced with industrial iron art), décor and interior design resemble a fusion of Phuket heritage and chic contemporary style, making it the perfect place for a relaxed weekend getaway. Simply awe-inspiring, the sanctuary creates a unique setting for a holiday to remember.
The romantic award-winning boutique luxury resort is located at Nai Yang beach amidst the tranquility of nature, boasting 277 rooms, including Plantation Villas, Private Garden Pavilions, as well as Private Pool Pavilions (with individual plunge pools and outdoor baths in their courtyard, complete with day bed and lounge chairs). The gem of a hotel also offers guests something more upscale, such as the Tuxedo Suite, featuring artwork by Andy Warhol, the Black Tie Suite, inspired by Audrey Hepburn, the Captain Miles Suite, a nautical-themed duplex, named after Captain Edward Thomas Miles, who brought the first tin dredger to Phuket and the Bensley Suite, named after the architect himself, with French doors, verandah, spiral staircase and a 5 x 10 metre pool with a suspended sundeck.
The resort also features an array of cuisines with several restaurants (the Rivet Grill offers outstanding food and service), bars, and cafes. Furthermore, it boasts a fitness centre, tennis courts, spa, diving centre, garden amphitheatre, library, snooker hall and Thai culinary school. Guests can pamper and spoil themselves with natural treatment packages, workout classes, numerous water activities and strolls on the beach.
The resort also promotes environmental awareness, a theme that runs through the entire hotel and which can be seen in locally crafted furniture, the use of recycled iron in its interior design, private salt water pools, refillable shower gel and shampoo bottles, as well as a reduced replacement of bed sheets.
Indigo Pearl is located on the northwest coast of the island, just a 10-minute drive from Phuket’s International Airport.
