Twinpalms Hotels & Resorts celebrates the expansion of its luxury hospitality portfolio with the opening of Twinpalms Bangtao Phuket Tented Resort – an opulent island hideaway nestled alongside the white sands of Bangtao Beach on Phuket’s pristine West Coast.
Just an hour flight from Bangkok but a world away, Twinpalms Bangtao Phuket Tented Resort – A Small Luxury Hotel of the World – reimagines luxury hospitality in Phuket. 28 adults-only luxury tents transport guests off the grid and back in time, blending unique and modern comforts with the natural environment. The concept is centred around a seamless indoor-to-outdoor transition where guests can simply roll up the window panels and allow the soothing sounds of nature to envelop them.
“We’re delighted to celebrate the opening of Twinpalms Bangtao Phuket Tented Resort, presenting an elevated take on luxury glamping. Whilst each luxury tent provides complete peace and serenity to relax in a tropical oasis, guests can also take advantage of exclusive access to the Twinpalms’ portfolio of world class amenities and dining destinations just steps away.” Says Olivier Gibaud, General Manager of Twinpalms Hotels & Resorts.
DESIGN:
Master planned by Martin Palleros, founder of award-winning, Bangkok based Tierra Design, Twinpalms Bangtao Phuket Tented Resort features 28 luxurious tents (1 – 2 bedrooms) nestled directly on the powdery white sands of Bangtao Beach, or just a short stroll away, cocooned amidst tropical landscaped gardens.
Interiors are curated with impeccable attention to detail, exuding luxury and nostalgic charm. Teak wood furnishings evoke the spirit of classic 20th-century tropical exploration whilst a delicate palette of soft, neutral tones is matched with rich textures and earthy materials that enhance the organic beauty of the environment.
Outside, the gardens are teeming with life, from the colourful birds and trees to the exquisite flowers. Verdant indigenous plants and shrubbery are pocketed with tranquil lagoons and winding footpaths that lead to the Andaman Sea.
At the heart of the camp, an expansive Tented lounge is a standout feature – a communal indoor-outdoor space where guests can wind down while savouring crafted cocktails around a campfire at night. An outdoor deck overhangs the tropical lagoon lake with views of the tranquil setting, for peaceful private moments.
