Trisara: Third Garden in Heaven

In Sanskrit the name Trisara means ‘Third Garden in Heaven’ and you definitely have the impression entering paradise when, after a hotel arranged VIP service at the airport and a just 15 minutes drive in the hotel’s air-conditioned minivan, you pass the gates of this impressive 40-acres resort. Hidden within lush tropical jungle on the hillside, overlooking the resort’s private bay, the Trisara Resort is a sanctuary of space where nature and culture harmoniously merge, yielding pure tranquillity and the best sunsets on the island. Once entered the reception area, the sound of tropical birds and the light sea breeze immediately set you in relaxation mode and when offered a cold honey and ginger tea and a nice smelling jasmine flower garland it’s also clear that service is key at Trisara with an impressive attention to detail and warm hospitality.



Room with a view

Trisara comprises a luxurious collection of one to six bedroom waterfront Villas, Suites and Residences, all with commanding Andaman Sea views. The level of privacy in all of the suites and villas is one of the resort's success factors, along with the fact that all have private infinity-edge pools, teak decks for sunbathing, loungers and are fully wired with the latest technology, including plasma TV’s, DVD Players, surround sound stereos and high-speed broadband internet. Imbued with elegance and refinement each accommodation is air-conditioned and finished in a unique, modern Thai style, with bright marble garden-facing bathrooms in- and outdoor rain showers, luxurious linens, oversized beds with divine mattresses and a private bar offering complimentary snacks. The least expensive, semi-detached, Ocean Pool Rooms are at the top of the hill benefitting of the best sunset views. Also on the hillside, but twice as much space, with a small living area, are the Ocean Pool Suites. The Ocean View and Ocean Front Pool Villas are closer to the beach and have generous sitting areas and private gardens.



For those who want absolute luxury, there is a selection of Signature Villas. Staffed with cook and housekeeper, the villas vary in size and design but have a sitting room, terraces, outdoor salas, a full kitchen and a huge swimming pool with breathtaking views of the ocean, ideal for families or special occasions like weddings.



Gourmet Thai

Trisara’s restaurants are among the best on the jade-green island of Phuket. The main restaurant, The Deck, is set on one side to a cascading waterfall and the bar on the other, close to the ocean front and shaded by an abundance of palm trees. The kitchen team produces authentic zingy Thai dishes and modern international cuisine, with a one of the best Pad Thai dishes on the island. Breakfast is also served at the Deck restaurant, featuring a continental breakfast complemented by an à la carte menu with eggs benedict, sliced avocado on toast, golden French toast, delicious fresh fruit juices, smoothies and local dried fruit and nuts.



Seafood, as the name suggests, is the place to enjoy incredibly fresh seafood, served on the beachfront terrace or in the Mediterranean-inspired dining room. And if you can’t be torn from you divine villa, a private chef sets up an in-villa BBQ on the terrace and serves you delicious dishes in an elegant pool setting, lit with candles and torches and the hum of frogs and cicadas in the background at night.



Pure Relaxation

When staying at Trisara a visit to the divinely large Spa is an absolute must, with its private treatment suites that open out to breezy pavilions overlooking the tropical gardens and the Andaman Sea, this is the place for ultimate relaxation. Treatments include body wraps, scrubs, facials and a wide selection of massages including the signature, six-handed ‘Royal Trisara’ massage, which will take you straight to Nirvana.



Leisure Time under the palm trees

No expense has been spared on facilities either. There is a stunning 45-meter saltwater swimming pool along the resort’s beachfront and serious tanners are in the right place on the secluded beach with hammocks and daybeds scattered on the beautiful white sand. The resort’s beach is sheltered by two headlands in an unspoilt crescent of white sands and emerald waters with a coral reef providing great snorkelling and protection against the intrusion of noisy jet-skis. Sailing, windsurfing, kayaking and scuba diving are among the watersports on offer. Guests preferring dry-land activities can also play tennis, work out at the state-of-the art gym or try a Thai boxing or Yoga class with a professional private coach. If you’re more gourmet-minded, Trisara’s chefs are proud to share their secrets with you in a private Thai cooking class and for the little ones there is a kids club with lots of entertainment.
