Beach Party
Rosewood Hotels & Resorts makes its South-east Asian resort debut with a beachfront-facing property in the tropical playground of Phuket. Each of its 71 pool pavilions and villas have an unfettered view of Emerald Bay, and range in size from 130 sq m for the Ocean View Pool Pavilion, right up to the whopping 796 sq m standalone Ocean House with its own infinity pool. Opened in early November, it's the latest entrant to the prolific luxury accommodation scene in Phuket, but is intent on making its own mark with its in-house Thai and Italian restaurants, and Asaya, its integrative wellness concept.
