Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa, the design-led lifestyle resort nestled directly on the soft sands of Mai Khao Beach, invites travelers to discover an inspiring new chapter as the resort marks its 15^th year with a renewed design concept which is set to deepen guests’ connection with the destination. The refreshed look brings a renewed sense of contemporary style to the resort’s familiar beachfront spirit, creating an atmosphere that feels personal, soulful, and closely tied to the culture and landscape of Phuket.

Set along one of Phuket’s most tranquil stretches of coastline, where the forest of Sirinat National Park meets the longest expanse of beach on the island, Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa has long been a retreat for those seeking meaningful escapes, infused with natural space, inspiring design and local heritage. The newly reimagined guestrooms and villas continue this story, enhancing the resort with subtle details drawn from Southern Thai crafts and the quiet beauty of the Andaman shoreline.

The Private Villas at Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa are influenced by the character of Southern Thai folktales. As the boundary between art and everyday life dissolves, guests can unwind amid soft textures, handwoven materials, and understated everyday objects traditionally found in coastal communities, such as woven lanterns, natural shells, and fishing tools. Each element is placed with intention, allowing the villa to feel warm, grounded, and intrinsically connected to the destination.

In the Deluxe Rooms, the new design narrative reflects the movement of the sea meeting the shore. The feature wall becomes an abstract expression of the Phuket coastline, recalling the gentle tides that reveal the hidden shimmer of shells and sand. This tranquil, textural interpretation speaks to Phuket’s longstanding identity as the “Pearl of the Andaman,” where beauty is discovered gradually and without pretense.

Dining remains an essential part of the Renaissance experience. Mornings unfold at Loca Vore, known among travelers for one of the most beloved breakfasts in Phuket. Midday brings relaxed gatherings at Sand Box Beachfront Bar & Eatery, where wood-fired flavors and breezy seaside views set the tone for unhurried afternoons. As evening arrives, Takieng, the multi-award-winning Thai restaurant invites guests to embark on “A Journey Through Southern Flavors” – a concept that showcases signature dishes rooted in local heritage and crafted with unique ingredients from Thailand’s southern provinces.

Throughout the day at Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa, time slows in ways that allow guests to set their own rhythm. Some may begin the day with yoga in the shade of palm trees, float in the infinity pool overlooking the Andaman Sea, maintain their wellness routine around the clock at the state-of-the-art 24-hour fitness center, or feel invigorated witha Hot Sand Massage at Quan Spa. Others may find joy in exploring the island under the expert guidance of the resort’s R Navigators, from long-tail boat excursions to visits to historic Sino-Portuguese homes that reveal Phuket’s rich history. Families find their own version of play at Kids’ World and the whimsical Dino Pool, which inspires carefree, laughter-filled days. Then as the sun sets and the resort becomes intimate and softly lit, The Punch Bowl Ritual invites guests to gather for a refined tasting of handcrafted punch, infused with Thai botanicals.
