When thinking of Phuket, images of parties, beach holidays and loads of fun usually come to mind. Now, imagine enjoying all this in one spot. The luxurious Sri Panwa Phuket to be precise.  

LUXURY STAYS
This family-owned resort sits 60m above sea level at its highest point on Cape Panwa, and boasts 17 ha of tranquil surroundings and lush forests. We predict that you’ll be just as awed by the views of the neighbouring islands and Andaman Sea from your villa as we were. And you have 52 villas to choose from. Situated at different levels, these include one- to four-bedroom villas, pool suites and a penthouse.

All dressed in calming hues of brown, white, beige and blue, Sri Panwa Phuket is an oasis of modern – including high-quality surround sound systems and iPods pre-loaded with music to suit any vibe or party in your villa – and traditional Thai accents.

LOTS TO DO…
There is lots to do in and around the resort. For indulgent days in, Cool Spa offers Thai and classic massages, as well as skin and body treats, including Sweet Surrender (milk bath, Balinese massage or Aromatic Thai-Oil Massage) and Me & My Valentine (choice of polish and glow treatment, Balinese or Swedish massage, and facial). For something more energising, check out the gym, book a tennis court or head to the Beach Pool for a selection of water sports and steam rooms. 

Wannabe cooks, the Baba Hot Pot chefs from the Baba Poolclub offer individual as well as group cooking classes. This is great for bonding with each other as well as with your wedding party. The resort also customises activities such as yachting, speedboat visits to outlying islands, and trips to Phuket town.
