As a hotelier consistently lauded with awards and accolades, the expectation is great as Regent Hotels & Resorts opens its newest 5-star property at Cape Panwa, Phuket, tomorrow.
On a private beach in a secluded bay, the effortlessly elegant Regent Phuket Cape Panwa aims to set a benchmark for luxury on this lesser-trodden corner of Phuket.
“Our aim with Regent Phuket is simply to create one of the most desirable environments in Southern Thailand,” says Regent Hotels President, Ralf Ohletz.
As many will know, Phuket is somewhat of a Mecca for any holiday to Thailand. Cape Panwa, however, lies slightly off the beaten track on the island’s southeast corner.
Looking out over the Andaman Sea and designed explicitly to harmonise with their rich tropical environs, Regent Phuket Cape Panwa’s 105 villas, suites and pavilions blend seamlessly into the background.
Wake up to a view of the ocean as it laps the shoreline, the blades of palm trees daintily touching your face, the chirp and chatter of tropical birds, and little else.
In providing a resort experience that is at one with nature, Regent has in kind decided to up the ante on the nurture, too. Guests get an iPad for example, inescapable Liddel bed linens, and a completely enveloping spa boasting bay views, open-air treatment rooms and unique signature massages, and ‘top-to-toe sensory indulgence’. Which sounds rather nice.
Suite and Bath
The Regent’s ambassador of glamour, however, is its 55-metre infinity pool. In stark contrast to its all-natural surroundings the hotel’s proud centrepiece is lined with shimmering fibre-optics.
The food, too, presents a new fusion of traditional and modern Thai cuisine with other international styles to unique effect. Describing its main restaurant The Grill as ‘informal fine dining’ goes some way to capturing the ethos and atmosphere of Regent Phuket Cape Panwa. A delectable and sophisticated mix that remains casual in its execution.
Despite its seclusion, the Cape Panwa hotel is only a short drive from Phuket Town. You’re never far from the attractions of this beautiful island, yet worlds apart.
For over forty years Regent Hotels has pioneered the standards of luxury hospitality. Last year the entire Regent group was acknowledged at the Conde Nast Traveler’s 2011 Readers’ Choice Awards for its exemplary properties, and Regent Phuket looks set to push the boat out just that little bit further.
This Thai island remains a phenomenal and stunning destination to visit, and Regent Phuket Cape Panwa will completely immerse you within its depths.
