TRISARA
Celebrated and exclusive private pool villa resort, Trisara, is a tropical paradise hideaway on Phuket’s less-developed northwest coast. this “Third Garden in Heaven”, as Trisara means in Sanskrit, nestles in 45 acres of gently terraced hillsides forested with indigenous palms, frangipani, and tropical foliage. this paradisaical picture is completed with sweeping Andaman Sea views, breathtaking sunsets–and the resort’s exclusive white sandy beach.
Inspired by Thailand’s rich heritage, Trisara’s 39 luxuriously spacious private villas and 22 two to eight-bedroom residences feature expansive indoor and outdoor living spaces and private swimming pools. All villas blend traditional ai design and contemporary simplicity, with interiors featuring luxury furnishings in warm, neutral colors. My challenge when deciding to step out of our Ocean View Pool Villa to explore the resort’s abundant facilities was the equally strong desire to stay put. That infinity pool, expansive deck and mesmerizing sea views had decidedly linger-longer magic.
Trisara will delight your palate with its casual to fine dining experiences. Cielo, overlooking the beach, has a curated breakfast leading into all-day Mediterranean dining. Michelin-recognized SaT, Seafood at Trisara presents a refined Thai homestyle cuisine inspired by authentic Southern ai heritage recipes. A great spot to take in the island’s spellbinding sunsets, DALA Bistro & Bar features a creative mixology menu and exquisite brews paired with a dedicated tapas menu. One Michelin-starred and Michelin Green Star, PRU, perched hilltop, presents a most memorable food journey.
JARA Spa nurtures your physical and spiritual well-being, featuring private, light-filled, sea-facing treatment rooms based around their Five Pillars of Wellness. Resort recreational facilities include a 45-meter beachside infinity pool, non-motorized water sports like snorkeling, standup paddleboards and kayaks, a yoga pavilion, two tennis courts with on-call Pro, and a fully equipped gym with its own Muay thai boxing ring.
Children enjoy the Kid’s Club with guided craft activities under a “learning by nature” philosophy, plus a creative play zone, books, and games. To record and preserve your holiday experience, you can commission in-house DDen digital studio to compile compelling visuals – in film and still images.
Trisara is perfect for couples seeking an intimate island retreat and families and friends wishing to enjoy relaxing holiday experiences with absolute privacy, tranquility, gracious, attentive service and astonishing dining. https://trisara.com/
Named after the mythical tropical garden paradise from Thailand’s Buddhist traditions, Trisara is an exclusive resort complex of residential and holiday villas nestled in the secluded bay of Nai Thon amidst the lush tropical hills of Phuket. It offers unimpeded views of the Andaman Sea.
First built around 15 years ago, the island resort sits within 14 hectares of a protected nature preserve, with a greater level of privacy and exclusivity through security available in a gated complex.

One of the best – and priciest – places to bed down in Phuket is Trisara, an ultra-luxe hotel set on its own cape on the north-west side of the island. Its 39 secluded villas are as pretty as they are spacious, designed in a modern Thai style and each kitted out with ocean-view terraces, infinity pool and butlers on call. Trisara’s remote location means it’s far away from any tourist sights, but there’s little reason to leave: there’s a gorgeous sunbed-lined pool for lounging and laps, as well as a powdery white beach only guests have access to. The Jara spa combines sensational ocean views with soothing Thai massage treatments, and there are three excellent restaurants for palm-shaded beachfront dining, including the Michelin-starred Pru and famous barbecues at Seafood by Trisara.

With constant news of a climate in peril, some of the world’s most luxurious properties are joining the green revolution with a variety of inventive techniques. Many hotels are making an eco-friendly start with simple methods such as switching plastic straws for the paper variety and providing guests with drinking water from reusable glass bottles, however, we’ve found a few resorts around the globe that don’t think that’s nearly enough.
From anti-poaching initiatives in South Africa and coral-reef restoration projects in Mexico, to solar panels in the Maldives that help offset the equivalent of hundreds of flights per year, these 10 resorts are going above and beyond in an effort to make every day Earth Day.

This describes Trisara in a nutshell. It exceeds your expectations at every corner. Trisara is on the northwest of the island on a private beach overlooking the Andaman Sea. All the 39 villas have private pools and most of them have sea views. Just in case you fall in love with the property, they also have private residences you can buy!

The road to paradise is indeed windy, but fringed with coconut trees and seafoam at the shores of the Andaman, you just know you’re going somewhere exquisite as the chauffeur-driven Volvo XC50 cruises up the tropical hills of northwest Phuket towards this private luxury villa resort.

There’s nowhere quite like Trisara, an exclusive boutique hotel set on Phuket’s less-visited north-west coast. Jaw-dropping ocean views roll out from every villa over a sparkling half-moon bay, begging to be snorkelled. With a name that lives up to its translation, “the garden in the third heaven,”it comes as little surprise that the well-heeled journey here from all over the world.

Elegant and understated, each villa has its own infinity pool screened by lush hedges of vivid birds of paradise flowers. It makes the outdoor shower an irresistable, gloriously secluded, morning ritual. (Side note – Trisara has been listed as one of the world’s best places for a skinny dip).

This is where the glamour comes in. Renowned for its authentic food, Trisara is the grande dame of Phuket’s five-star beachside boutique scene. In sanskrit, it means “the garden in the third heaven” and, since its opening in 2004, it’s grown to 60 spacious pool villas and two-six bedroom private residences, all with breathtaking views of the Andaman Sea and its hibiscus-hued sunsets.
It’s utterly tranquil, located in the upmarket north eastern part of the island, well away from the pumping heart of sleazy Patong, and a convenient 15 minutes’ drive from the airport.

“In fact, everything at Trisara translates into sustainability. There is the anti-plastic policy in the villas (sleek glass water bottles line the fridges and bathroom toiletries are kept in elegant wooden bottles).
There is the upcycled Thai antique wood furniture in the rooms and the grey-water recycling systems which keep the grounds lush and green. But you know you must be doing something right when you have two large green-backed sea turtles returning to your beach after a decade, to lay their eggs.”

Trisara is one of those hotels spoken about in hushed tones by those in the know, keen to keep this island treasure to themselves.

Then there are the villas: vast, creamy affairs with private pools so generously spaced apart you can happily swim naked.

After a massive revamp last year, Trisara resort in Phuket relaunched as a Pool villas-only resort.

At 12 years old, Trisara was certainly not dated; its rooms were neither cramped nor run down. But that didn’t stop the exclusive Thai resort from embarking on an extensive renovation last year. Completed in December, the makeover was not a reinvention but rather an expansion and refinement that renovated the property’s 15 opulent villas with Thai silk furnishings, teak walls, and private decks and pools. Two restaurants elevate the island cuisine, while the new Jara Spa puts wellness front and center. Unchanged are the vistas—stretching beyond one of Phuket’s only private-access beaches and over the sparkling Andaman Sea—seen from virtually every gleaming corner of the resort ($720–$3,430).

I was in the north, which was as green as the Lake District but with slightly hotter weather. I stayed in a resort called Trisara, which turned out to be the classiest, most attractive and tasteful resort I have ever visited. The owners are a Thai family who have made their money in banking, so it’s not partof a large hotel group. Privately owned places usually manage to retain their personality and character, I find.
