The Pavilions

People are often curious to know where the name Pavilions originates and are surprised to find out that it is actually a literal reference, inspired by the book, “The Far Pavilions” by M.M. Kaye. An evocative epic romance set in 19th century British India, the novel tells the story of an enduring love affair between two young people from very different cultures.

Love at first sight…that electrifying feeling of complete awe begins the moment you enter the Pavilions Phuket. The dramatic entrance to this Kingdom of love and romance is guarded by a giant Buddha and framed by a luscious green bamboo forest driveway that leads you into a tropical paradise. Before you have the chance to catch your breath, your heart skips a beat as you step into an incredibly decadent villa with sweeping views of the ocean vista on the outside and exquisite works of art within.

The villa’s impeccably stylish interiors with modern Asian design nuances, striking wall mural of floral art, signature bold colours of passionate red and chic black feels like it has jumped straight out of a Wallpaper magazine. This will become your personal heaven on earth, a totally private nirvana that you never wish to leave, nor need to as your every wish is anticipated and attended to with a unique oriental sense of service. It’s hard to stay on your feet with the temptations of a supersized sofa, designer sun loungers, couple’s bathtub, in-room spa facilities and a scrumptiously soft king size bed filled with cushions embroidered with inscriptions of love.  The bedroom opens up right into your private pool that is simply made for skinny dipping and enjoying sparkling champagne as you perch on the edge of your infinity pool with spectacular sunsets. Savour delicious Thai cuisine with speedy in-villa room service or order in your own private Chef for al-fresco poolside BBQ.

If you can tear yourself away from your luxurious villa, the Plantation Club restaurant offers luscious champagne breakfasts with panoramic views, as well as engaging cooking classes where you can learn to cook one of the signature dishes at The Pavilion, the crispy duck confit in red curry lychee sauce – a modern twist of a Thai classic. Make sure you visit the 360° Bar & Grill, which is the island's highest bar offering infinite vistas, dazzling sunsets and intoxicating love potion cocktails under rich foliage of trees that are magically lit up at night. The Pavilion Phuket truly embodies the philosophy of enjoying life's true luxuries: uninterrupted time to live and love. It is a cocoon of romance that nourishes your soul and your love so that it may soar to greater heights.
