Avista Hideaway Phuket is a member of the MGallery Hotel Collection.
The legendary boutique hotel brand by Accor thoughtfully selects and curates unique properties around the world, forming a storied collection of art and design-centred hotels. With more than 100 properties across 30 destinations, each MGallery property tells a unique story.

Avista Hideaway Phuket by MGallery is located on the southwest coast of Phuket, a short drive from action packed Patong Beach. The hotel is just 700m from the clear cerulean waters of Freedom Beach, a short jungle hike away.
The resort’s main entrance is shaped like a door to a traditional Thai Buddhist temple. Passage through this entranceway marks one’s arrival into ‘the sanctuary’, a world unto itself.
The arrival courtyard’s prime feature —its glittering, contemporary Thai-style sun sculpture — hints at the sun’s centrality to life on the island. A decorative pool surrounds it, while the sand-coloured bricks of the courtyard walls evoke the country’s ancient heritage in Sukhothai, Lopburi and Ayutthaya.
A traditional Thai water blessing ritual is offered to every guest upon arrival within the entrance courtyard. The space transforms into a dance floor each evening when guests enjoy a daily spectacle of traditional Thai fire dance.
As with rural village life, water flows through the heart of the resort, where evocative water features and idyllic pools create a sanctuary perfect for a romantic honeymoon.
Avista Hideaway Phuket near Patong features 150 rooms, suites and villas, which offer contemporary living space, drawing inspiration from traditional Thai design and forest-inspired colour tones.
The popular Phuket resort boasts 3 pools all of which offer swim-up pool bars: main infinity pool, immaculate marble riverside pool, and adults-only black pool located further up the lush hillside.
Aqua Spa is the hotel’s mecca for wellness enthusiasts. The spa features 8 treatment rooms and 2 outdoor traditional Thai cabanas. You’ll find a boutique gym and spa menu featuring traditional Thai massages and Ayurvedic treatments.

The luxurious villa features an expansive 145 square meters of unrivaled extravagance. Enjoy a private pool, four-poster king size bed, oversized sun loungers, lavish sitting areas, an outdoor rain shower, an outdoor tub or a magical meal at the outdoor dining table.
Avista Hideaway Phuket Patong MGallery Spa
Aqua Spa is the home of rest and relaxation at Avista Hideaway Phuket Patong MGallery.
The sound of flowing water in the nearby springs and tropical rainforests is the most mystical source of tranquility. The spa’s two outdoor cabanas float on a rooftop pond with the waters cascading over the sides into tranquil waterfalls.
The resort’s oasis of calm is where guests gather to enjoy traditional Thai massage, which is the speciality here. Wag your finger down the Aqua Spa menu and you’ll also find Ayurvedic treatments and classic spa experiences like facials, body wraps and scrubs.
The Phuket hotel spa features 8 treatment rooms, 6 are indoors indoors while 2 can be found outside via breezy al fresco cabanas.
I suggest booking the couples suite for an unforgettably romantic experience. The experience begins with a eucalyptus steam room meditation followed by a bubble bath in a massive soaker tub. Once dried off your massage therapist will slide open the door and begin the treatment with an exfoliating foot bath. Traditional Thai massage is my favourite body therapy as it incorporates pressure points as well as stretching.
