A tranquil and secluded escape just metres from Surin Beach, Twinpalms Phuket Resort is set in a magical, water garden landscape. Contemporary and stylish, this privately-owned resort has hip restaurants and bars, fabulous beach clubs, a world-class spa, all delivered with thoughtful and attentive service.  Blissfully sleek and minimalist rooms and suites at Twinpalms Phuket feature a private terrace with a view of the lagoon. This place has a totally unhurried and chilled-out ambiance where the only energy you need to expend is lying by the pool or sitting on a stretch of golden tropical sand.
