In the know
- Our favourite rooms
- All villas are lavishly decked out with clean-lined contemporary furnishings, in soothing hues of taupe and umber – there’s a lot of wood at play – and all offer better-than-postcard sea views. The two-bedroom villas are perfect for sharing with another couple, although there may be a scuffle over who gets the bed by the pool.
- Packing tips
- Aromatic massage oils – with a flabbergasting 180-degree panorama visible from your pillow, and complete forested seclusion all around, your bedroom is the perfect place for a romantic sunrise massage.
- Also
- Don’t worry about bringing your music collection – the entertainment system includes pre-programmed music channels compiled by a DJ friend of Sri Panwa.
Current offers
- Smith card offer
- A cocktail for two; members staying four nights or more will receive a 30-minute 'Focus' massage for two at Sai spa

Phuket & Khao Lak, Thailand[view map]
- Style
- Tropical, tranquil villas with a view
- Setting
- Forest coasts of Phuket
Generously dotted amid the coastal forest of Phuket, Sri Panwa’s boutique collection of eight luxury villas slopes down to the sea via the warm white sands of its private beach. Each glass-boxed bedroom overlooks vast swathes of ocean and, if your bed were any closer to your private pool, your pillow would be wet.

Food & drink
- Hotel restaurant
- Housed in a poolside villa at the top of the hill, Baba’s open kitchen sizzles up creative Thai-inspired cuisine, with a leaning towards fresh seafood and lively, fruity sauces.
- Dress code
- Laid-back (and thinking of Thailand) – you can even dine in swimwear.
- Top table
- Everywhere in the restaurant offers breath-stealing sunset views, but nothing beats dining privately in the shelter of your authentic sala pavilion.
- Last orders
- Baba stops serving food at 10pm. The bar shivers its shakers until the last guest has gone.
- Hotel bar
- DJs spin out bossa nova, lounge and house in Baba, which has the triple role of bar, restaurant and general chill-out zone. Try a scrumptiously piquant Lycheetini by the pool.
