What they say
Michelin Selected

Part of what sets Noku Phuket quite literally apart from the competition is its inland setting, on a hilltop overlooking Chalong Bay,…
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set in Chalong's lush southern ridges, offering peaceful isolation within easy reach of Phuket Old Town's heritage shophouses and Kata's shores.
The rooms
Lofts feature deep soaking tubs and private forest-view balconies, while standalone villas add infinity plunge pools framed by lush greenery.
The infinity pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A half-moon infinity pool sits under a sculpted wave pavilion, looking out across the forest canopy toward Chalong Bay.
Gym and spa
The hillside gym looks out over the forest through floor-to-ceiling glass. Timber saunas and infrared treatment rooms sit nearby.
EMBRACE Restaurant
Sunken tables sit along glass walls looking into tropical greenery, serving regional Thai dishes alongside international breakfast spreads.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
