Heavenly Honeymoons

JW Marriott Phuket Resort and Spa

JW Marriott Phuket Resort and Spa – the first JW Marriott resort in Asia – is the perfect new destination for honeymoons and romantic travelers.

Set in 11 hectares of exquisite tropical gardens, it has 17 kms of natural, undeveloped beachfront, adjacent to the Sirinath Marine National Park and sea turtle nesting area.  Accommodations are spacious and elegant with a minimum of 47 square meters (508 square feet) of luxurious living space, featuring Thai design and interior accents reflecting the ambiance of the destination.  Its 265 rooms, including 13 suites, all face towards the Andaman Sea. 

The resort is just 15 minutes north of Phuket International Airport, enabling guests to be poolside with an exotic cocktail in hand, or straight to the spa for pampering, within 30 minutes of touchdown.  Facilities include seven restaurants and bars, two magnificent swimming pools, a Mandara Spa, shopping arcade, and a fitness center.

The Mandara Spa complex covers 750 square meter (8,100 square feet) and includes five private double treatment suites and a full service beauty salon.  The spa interior focuses on the exotic beauty of Thai traditional architecture and artifacts subtly blending with the classic elegance of contemporary design, evoking a feeling of “spiritual tranquility and harmony” with nature.

A wide range of traditional and international health and beauty treatments are available, featuring high quality imported products as well as natural products grown in Thailand.  Rich coffee scrubs, aromatic facials, soothing oils and the gentle, healing  touch of gracious Thai masseurs make treatments a truly sensational experience, restoring the senses to a state of peace and balance.
