If the sheer tranquillity of these luxe villas isn’t enough to tempt you, the fact that the hotels spa and wellness sanctuary was featured in Season 3 of The White Lotus just might. Nestled on the shores of Mai Khao Beach in northwest Phuket, offers a secluded five-star retreat where luxury meets authentic Thai charm. Surrounded by the lush greenery of Sirinat National Park, this resort features 83 private pool villas, each set around a serene central lagoon.

Unmatched are the breathtaking views of the Andaman Sea, as are the first-class dining and wellness facilities, including a treehouse omakase experience perched in the branches of a heritage banyan tree as well as rejuvenating Ayurvedic treatments at that onsite spa. With the addition of a cocktail in hand, we don’t see any better way to holiday.

Ranked among the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor, it’s safe to say this 89-acre Phuket hotel is overqualified for this list in every department–self-care, activities, eats and just how frequently you’ll pick your jaw up from the floor. A sanctuary within the Laguna resort complex, lines the fringes of Bang Tao Beach and is the ideal escape whether you're traveling with your family, hubby or group of mates.

Staying here will grant you access to private pools, outdoor soaking bathtubs, spa treatments and an array of dining venues serving authentic Thai fare and fresh seafood. If you’re someone who likes to stay active on holiday, you’ll be covered with an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, cycling paths, and a handful of water sports.

This oceanfront number is not one to skip if you’re seeking a touch of glam with your island getaway. Five-star sits pretty on the southern tip of Phuket, amidst lush mountains overlooking the shimmering Nai Harn bay–we fear your camera roll storage will be struggling.

Snorkel your way around the bay, live out your luxe sunbathing fantasies with their beach butler service, fire up the barbecue on your private terrace and sip the night away on the rooftop bar. Rooms are fitted with floor-to-ceiling windows, warm wood tones and oversized king beds, with the Ocean View Suite even featuring a ‘press for champagne button’–need we say more?
