The house
IHGWabi-sabi hillside village

What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Bamboo-screened villas climb a densely forested hillside connected by timber walkways, ancient trees and boulders left intact between structures.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Patong Beach and Jungceylon Shopping Centre sit ten minutes downhill, close enough for easy trips from the quiet mountainside.
The rooms
Balconies look straight into the jungle canopy, and ridge duplex villas have private plunge pools above the trees.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Sun loungers flank a green-tiled lap pool, and the freeform main pool curves beneath climbing greenery.
The spa and gym
Therapists apply exfoliating herbal scrubs and restorative oils, and the 24-hour gym looks across Patong at sunset.
At the table
The Rice Restaurant cooks Phuket dishes with hilltop herbs, and Sunya Bistro pours wine at a cellar tasting table.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
