Two decades after opening, Trisara Resort Phuket continues to set the benchmark for what a luxury hotel should offer. Perched on a jungle-cloaked cape along the island’s quiet north-western coast, this intimate sanctuary feels refreshingly removed from the bustle that characterises much of Thailand’s most famous destination. The resort’s name, meaning ‘The Garden in the Third Heaven’, captures the ethereal quality that has made it a magnet for discerning travellers and A-list guests seeking genuine seclusion.
Unlike many developments that have transformed Phuket’s coastline, Trisara maintains an authentic connection to its natural surroundings. A private beach stretches exclusively for in-residence guests, offering pristine sands perfect for morning walks, water sports, or simply watching the Andaman Sea’s legendary sunsets unfold.
Architectural heritage meets contemporary comfort
The resort’s collection of private pool villas and residences draws deep inspiration from traditional Thai architecture whilst incorporating contemporary amenities that modern families expect. Each accommodation balances social and private living spaces thoughtfully, with spacious layouts that showcase rich interiors and meticulous attention to detail. The design philosophy embraces Thailand’s heritage through authentic craftsmanship whilst ensuring every modern comfort is seamlessly integrated.
From Ocean View Pool Junior Suites to expansive Ocean Front Residences accommodating up to nine bedrooms, the variety caters to different group sizes and preferences. Every villa and residence features private pools and uninterrupted views of the Andaman Sea, positioning Trisara Resort Phuket as property that truly understands the importance of space and privacy. The architectural approach respects the natural landscape whilst creating intimate retreats that feel both grand and personal.

Trisara’s culinary programme represents some of Thailand’s most ambitious dining experiences. At the heart of this collection sits PRU, led by Dutch chef Jimmy Ophorst, which has earned both a Michelin star and Thailand’s first Michelin Green Star for its innovative zero-waste approach. The restaurant sources ingredients locally, from black crab in nearby Phang Nga to caviar from Hua Hin, creating tasting menus that celebrate regional flavours whilst pushing culinary boundaries.
The resort’s dining philosophy centres on community connection, with chefs collaborating directly with local farmers and fishermen to experiment with both traditional and contemporary ingredients. Beyond PRU, guests can explore JAMPA, Cielo & Spice, Thai Library, the French restaurant La Crique, and 7.8°N, each offering distinct culinary perspectives. This diverse collection positions Trisara as a resort that takes dining as seriously as accommodation, creating memorable experiences that extend far beyond the room.
Ancient wellness traditions reimagined

JARA Wellness forms the spiritual and physical heart of the Trisara Resort Phuket experience, grounded in the philosophy that wellness represents a lifelong journey rather than a temporary treatment. The programme draws from ancient Thai healing traditions whilst incorporating contemporary wellness understanding, guided by the Five Pillars of Wellness inspired by the organic vitality of the Ficus tree.
These pillars address the body’s root, trunk, leaves, blossoms, and spiritual core, creating treatments designed to offer immediate relief whilst providing guests with practical tools to continue their wellness practice at home. The approach reflects a deeper understanding of holistic health that distinguishes Trisara as a hotel that prioritises genuine wellbeing over superficial spa treatments. Each treatment is crafted to pave the way for enduring serenity that guests can carry into their daily lives.
