Try something a little different on your next weekend escape at Twinpalms Bangtao Phuket Tented Resort.
When we get away from the norm for a little touch of something different, we want that change to be significant, to be embraced and enjoyed, if only for its contrast from the day-to-day. Leaving behind the towering apartment blocks, moody commuters and daily grind for a secluded tented retreat where you’re only ever steps from the sea, where everyone’s old enough to get your cultural references, and where even the mineral water comes with a (sustainable) little umbrella, in our minds, is just the change you seek.

You’ll have all of that at Twinpalms Bangtao Phuket Tented Resort, a lagoon and beachfront tented haven only a short flight away. The creation of Twinpalms Hotels & Resorts, this new adults-only luxury glamping hotspot blends nature and contemporary sophistication right on the white sands of acclaimed Bangtao Beach, regularly regarded as one of the best in the Kingdom.
You’ll have your choice of lagoon-side and beachfront one and two-bedroom tents, many of which boast their own private plunge pools, as well as refined interiors, elegant furnishings, high-end finishings, and layouts that seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living, ensuring about as romantic an enclave as you’re likely to find anywhere in Asia.

When you do come up for air (perhaps for a sunrise meditation or yoga session?), you’ll discover manicured gardens that lead to a sprawling open-plan central lounge designed with an expansive wooden deck that extends gracefully over a serene lagoon adorned with giant water lilies. This central hub is where you can grab a sundowner, join like-aged souls around the campfire, and even catch Phuket’s mesmerising starscape.
Alternatively, grab a picnic and explore the islands of the Andaman aboard a fleet of motor yachts and powerboats, or head to an ethical elephant sanctuary to see these gentle giants up close.

You’ll also dine well, with all camp venues a short walk or complimentary buggy ride away. There are beachfront Mediterranean flavours at Catch Beach Club, tiki cocktails and fresh seafood and meat cooked on a charcoal Josper grill at The Lazy Coconut; the culinary musings of chef Tammasak at nearby KALIDO, and for something a little more splurgy, make for the Wagyu Steakhouse, a Michelin Guide awardee in 2023 and 2024, at nearby Twinpalms Surin Phuket Resort.
Burn off all that indulgence at the state-of-the-art fitness centre , or align those pesky chakras at the spa (which is also suitably tented), where massages conducted amidst the tropical foliage promise to melt even the most robust modern man into complete submission.
You’re welcome.
