JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa

'This isn't just another beach resort – it's where luxury meets authentic Thai culture on one of Phuket's most pristine stretches of sand.' What's Special? The JW Marriott Phuket sits on Mai Khao Beach, home to sea turtle nesting sites where endangered leatherback turtles return annually. The resort's award-winning Mandara Spa features traditional Thai healing rituals in treetop treatment rooms, while the three-tiered lagoon pool system mimics the natural limestone formations found throughout Phang Nga Bay. Don't Miss The resort's private cooking school where you'll learn to prepare authentic Phuket-style curry using ingredients grown in their organic herb garden, plus the complimentary sea turtle conservation talk held beachside every Tuesday evening.
