Escape the bustle of Phuket with a stay at our favourite Burasari property; Island Escape. Sitting off the coast of Phuket on the undiscovered tropical island of Koh Maphrao, the 5-star boutique luxury resort is a true paradise. The 46 private villas (ranging from one to four-bedroom) and 204 rooms (choose from Deluxe or Deluxe pool access) are set amongst verdant gardens, with each room designed sustainably using natural materials whilst oozing luxury from the modern amenities and touches throughout.

The resort features three private beaches, three swimming pools and a sublime Forest Spa. The resorts facilities are functionally segregated across four easily inter-accessible zones, each featuring a distinct look and theme, with the rooms split across these unique sanctuaries. Guests staying within the Ocean Zone can enjoy the epitome of luxury from their private villas with on-call villa host, private cook services and curated experiences..fancy breakfast in bed or on the beach? No problem! A Swim Zone houses an aqua paradise, beautifully designed to suit the natural surroundings but offering some direct pool access rooms, sundeck islands and a glorious central pool (as well as a slide suitable for both adults and children). The Adventure Zone will keep nature lovers and little ones entertained – who doesn’t love a treehouse, zip lines and rock walls to explore? And for anyone left wondering if the charms of children will ruin their vibe, fear not – the Lagoon Zone is an adults-only world of privacy, comfort and serenity.

Diners can indulge in delicious Thai, Asian or western cuisine at the on-site restaurant or enjoy in-room dining. The food receives rave reviews. Don’t forget to head to the Drinks Bar for sundowners – the views are stunning!
