“A PICTURE is worth a thousand words,” goes the old saying. Take a look at the images on this page, though, and you’ll most likely utter only one: “Wow!’ The exclamation is warranted. Perched high atop Cape Panwa peninsula, Sri Panwa commands breathtaking views of the Southeastern tip of Phuket and, with its stunning design and excellent services, offers one of the finest island-based resort experiences to be found in Thailand. |
The multi-award winning resort is owned and operated by the renowned Charn Issara Group and boasts 52 private villas set 40-60 meters above sea level along the Eastern and Western ridges at the very tip of the cape.
The private one to two bedroom villas are designed to feel like private homes, incorporating the finest bed linens and traditional handcrafted furnishings, as well as luxury modern conveniences which bolster the private home concept (we particularly like the high quality surround sound entertainment systems and iPods preloaded with music to suit any vibe).

All villas feature a 12 meters infinity-edge swimming pool, a private sala, and outdoor sunbathing terraces overlooking the Andaman Sea and outlying islands. The three to five bedroom residential villas, some of which are available for sale, include similar aspects but on a much grander scale. Sri Panwa’s dining concept, Baba, is split between three locations: Baba Soul Food, which offers an intimate Thai dining experience with stunning sunset views; Baba Poolclub, featuring an extensive international buffet served near the infinity-edge lap pool; and Baba Nest, located high in the sky, where stunning views and innovative cocktails provide the perfect end to any day. Other highlights at the resort include the Baba88 disco (perfect for private parties), the tranquil Cool Spa, and a long list of recreational facilities such as fitness centre, tennis courts, boxing ring, yoga and pilates studio, the Beach Pool and steam rooms. Book a villa for the weekend and, who knows, you may just find yourselves rubbing shoulders during dinner with celebs such as Chef Gordon Ramsay, Rita Ora, Flo Rida, or Snoop Lion – all regular guests at the resort. www.sripanwa.com |
