The sight of luggage wheels rolling onto the airport floor, the excitement of finally whipping out your passport and the almost-nostalgic sound of pilots announcing take-off.
Upon entrance to the vast complex that staff members call the “village”, holiday makers are greeted with high ceilings and structures mirroring the look of traditional Thai houses. During the check-in process, sneak a peek of the newly redesigned pool and sun deck boasting an eco-chic aesthetic with wooden loungers, low tables and in its true Thai vibrancy, eye-catching yellow umbrellas.
Tuck into a zesty spicy Thai papaya salad, juicy BBQ Pork Ribs, Chinese dim sum, sushi and much more. Desserts are an absolute must with a daily selection of treats like Mango Pudding, Chocolate Gateaux, Crème Brûlée. Romance is also served hot at the resort, with indulgent modern Thai dinners at The Chu-da, particularly with its view of the gorgeous Kata Bay. It’s located right next to the adults-only Zen Pool and the in-house spa, which offers their signature Thai massages.
Another facet of Club Med Phuket that makes it a worthwhile experience is the resort’s friendly and engaging staff, also known as Gentils Organisateurs . Hailing from different parts of the world, the multicultural staff members embody the true meaning of tropical nomad – speaking multiple languages and packing a host of travel stories that won’t fail to amaze.
