Ohhh, Panwaburi Resort is such a beautiful spot! If you’re looking for a Phuket getaway that’s a bit more peaceful than Patong but still absolutely stunning, this place is perfect. It’s right on Ao Yon Beach, which is way more chilled out compared to the busier beaches up north. Think calm waters, golden sand, and that tropical paradise vibe without the crazy crowds.
When we stayed here, it cost only £36! I would recommend booking this up, it's incredible, but it's super popular now.
The resort itself has this luxury-meets-nature feel—gorgeous beachfront villas, a stunning infinity pool overlooking the sea, and those dreamy overwater-style rooms that make you feel like you're in the Maldives (without the Maldives price tag). The rooms are super modern, spacious, and have floor-to-ceiling windows so you can wake up to the most breathtaking ocean views.
One of my favourite things? The floating breakfast situation. Nothing screams "I'm on holiday" more than eating tropical fruit and pancakes in the pool with the ocean as your backdrop. And the sunsets here? Unreal. It’s the kind of place where you’ll want to spend your evenings just sipping a cocktail and soaking in the view. 🌅
It’s also in a great location if you want to explore Phuket but still have a quiet retreat to come back to. You’re close to Cape Panwa, which has some lovely restaurants and viewpoints, plus it’s an easy drive to Old Phuket Town if you want to check out the cute Sino-Portuguese buildings and night markets.
If you’re after a mix of relaxation, luxury, and a bit of adventure, this is such a good pick. Have you already booked, or are you still deciding? 😊
