In the tropical paradise of Phuket, Thailand, there are many pools, but not many beachfront pools. The Surin Phuket is one of them. There are lots of villas to choose from – some are tucked up in the hill (quite a hike), some directly on the beach, and everywhere in between. The hotel also provides these bonus poolside amenities in each room: wide brim sunhat, Panama hat, 2 fans, and a large beach bag.
The service around the pool is great, once you let them know you’ll be needing something. They are pretty hands-off at first, allowing you full, uninterrupted relaxation. The beach is practically private – only shared with one other luxury property. There are multiple restaurants on the property, but the poolside bar and restaurant (Beach Bar) has everything you’ll need. In addition, there are some very nice public vendors who serve the beach loungers with different food and beverage as well. If you’re getting something basic, it’s a good option, but the Beach Bar is serving up some superior cocktails (aperol spritzes, YAY!) and delicious Thai food. No need to leave the pool or beach area for the entire trip!
Other details: The pool loungers are comfortable and clean. There are bean bags chairs on the beach that you can move around for a closer look at the sunset. There are vendors offering massages on your lounger – you don’t even have to get up!
The Surin Phuket is one of the best hotels in Phuket and one of the best beachfront poolside experiences in the world. If you’re looking to travel to Phuket, look no further. They have the magic formula. For more photos and to read the full write-up go here: Beachfront Pool in Phuket.
