Trisara, a luxury eco resort in Phuket, is setting the benchmark for sustainability

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.

“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.”
