Movenpick Resort Bangtao Beach

Every room at this Phuket resort comes with a full kitchen, which feels almost absurd given how close the Andaman Sea is to your window. Mövenpick runs on Swiss precision wrapped in Thai hospitality, and the combination keeps everything quietly, efficiently pleasant without making a fuss about it. Bangtao Beach is among the least overdeveloped stretches on the island, so the resort's self-contained setup, pool, spa, and restaurant, suits the slower pace around it.
