Few beaches across the globe can truly claim to cater to every palate. Though, dare we say, Phuket’s Bang Tao Beach may have it all. Boasting six kilometres of postcard-perfect Andaman beachfront, this coastal gem strikes an enchanting balance with tranquil resort hideaways and bustling eateries. For the leisurely traveller, cosy up on a sun-lounger somewhere peaceful. If you fancy a tipple? Look southwards for twinkling live music and tropical nightlife.

It should be no wonder then, why Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket caught our eye. Dusit Thani Group situated its resort perfectly at the beachfront’s centre, as one of the first luxury hoteliers to have made its mark on the Bang Tao beachfront decades ago. Its prime beachfront location—just a 30-minute drive from Phuket International Airport—makes it an effortlessly accessible escape for travellers.

The Hotel

The hotel is a delightful nod to heritage charm. Stepping into the entrance, the foyer is invitingly rich with dark wood, white-painted accents and colonial-style rattan furnishing. The pool meanders across the hotel front, offering a retreat for all ages, all whilst providing direct access to pristine beachfront - well-suited to families and large groups. For couples seeking an intimate and romantic retreat, the 27 private pool villas offer a blissful haven perfect for two.

Guests can choose from over 200 elegantly appointed rooms, suites, and villas, each adorned with exquisite native Thai woods and fabrics, ensuring a harmonious blend of comfort and sophistication. For beach fanatics, the Premier Ocean Front View Room is a perfect room which will bring you closer to the fresh sea breeze from your private balcony, while the Two-Bedroom Pool Villa set on the lake or the beach comprises 252 sq. m of luxury spread across a three-storey residence with its own private pool surrounded by loungers and an outdoor shower.

The Restaurants

Within the resort, relish in exquisite local flavors at Benjarong, the resort’s flagship Thai restaurant, where traditional teak architecture meets modern sophistication. Celebrated for its culinary excellence, Benjarong earned the Michelin Plate in 2019 and 2020. Savour the very best of local delights, such as the Mankorn Lui Fai (Phuket lobster in red curry sauce) while enjoying breathtaking lagoon-front views. Otherwise, for those craving Italian fare, La Trattoria specialises in the rich mountain flavours of northern Italy, courtesy of Chef Massimiliano Piccardi. Either way, dine in decadence amid some of the very best Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket has to offer.

Beyond the Resort

Choosing between resorts can feel like an impossible task. Thankfully, Dusit Thani is part of Laguna Phuket, Asia’s most prestigious integrated resort complex. Alongside five other world-class properties (including Banyan Tree Phuket and Angsana Laguna Phuket), guests enjoy access to an unrivalled collection of dining, wellness, and leisure facilities. For those craving adventure, water sports, island-hopping excursions, and Phuket’s vibrant cultural attractions are all within easy reach.

For those seeking barefoot luxury, authentic Thai hospitality, and an unbeatable beachfront location, Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket is one to consider.
