This trip takes you to the heart of Intercontinental Phuket Resort.

I want to travel in a way that forgets everything about work, forgets all the stress, and head to Intercontinental Phuket for guaranteed 5-star fun. On this trip, we won’t think about anything other than eating and exploring. We’ll be busy snapping photos and updating stories because there are plenty of chic corners to capture.

“Intercontinental Phuket” is a newly opened 5-star hotel that combines the magnificence of paradise and the earthly concept, located along Kamala Beach. The hotel is divided into 2 zones. The “Buddha” zone is situated right by the beach, allowing guests to enjoy stunning beaches like Kamala Beach where swimming is possible, and the beachfront is wide with beautiful sea water.

As for the ‘Paradise’ zone, it will be located on the opposite side of the resort. The hotel has constructed an underground tunnel with shuttle services to transport guests to the Paradise zone. This zone is grand and magnificent, truly living up to its name as a paradise zone.

For the lobby, during our visit, we will utilize the lobby area in the Club Lounge of the Buddha zone, which is located by the sea. This serves as a temporary lobby.

The original lobby will be a large, luxurious building located in the Paradise zone, decorated with a clean, elegant white color scheme, exuding grandeur. There will be plenty of picturesque corners for photography.

Above the lobby, guests will have a clear view of the ‘Paradise’ building, with the topmost floor featuring an infinity pool and stylish seating areas where guests can enjoy watching the sunset.

The accommodations in the Paradise zone are intricately designed with captivating details, making it a hidden gem. With luxurious amenities and stunning vistas, it offers an unparalleled experience for guests seeking tranquility and indulgence.

Many people would probably like to go and see inside the ‘Paradise’ building. Come on, let’s go take a look!

And here is our room, the Club Intercontinental Pool View Room, located in the Buddha zone, beachfront area. This room comes with exclusive Club Intercontinental privileges, allowing access to the club lounge. From this room, you can enjoy views of both the pool and the sea. The bed is soft, there’s a bathtub, and with the hotel being newly opened, all amenities in the room are brand new. The minibar is fully stocked with everything except alcoholic beverages.

And this is the view from our room balcony.

If anyone prefers to stay in a pool villa and seeks tranquility, I would recommend the 1 Bedroom Club Intercontinental Pool Villa in the Paradise zone, with mountain views amidst a tropical garden. It offers quiet privacy, luxurious decoration, and comfortable amenities. The villa includes a spacious bedroom, private pool, bathroom, relaxation pavilion, walk-in closet, and beautifully landscaped garden, providing a balanced and serene environment.

Most of the main facilities are located in the Buddha zone, and today we’re here to enjoy the Sunday Brunch at Jaras restaurant. The restaurant offers both Beach View and Pool View, with a very chill atmosphere that makes you want to stay all day. Intercontinental Phuket’s Sunday Brunch is served as a set menu, each course carefully curated for quality and taste. Let’s start with the first course. The appetizers feature a Thai fusion, with the standout being the Thai papaya salad. It’s served with grape seaweed, adding a unique twist to the classic dish. The flavors are well-balanced, with a perfect blend of sour, salty, spicy, and sweet. You definitely have to try this dish. Another must-try dish that stands out is the pork larb, served with crispy rice crackers, offering a delicious salty taste. The rest of the menu is equally enticing, and with so much food served, just one course is enough to make us feel satisfied.

And the main course is absolutely fantastic, especially the Lobster Pasta. The pasta is homemade here, and the bread and pasta are infused with yeast for added flavor and goodness, resulting in a unique texture that’s unlike any other. The lobster is perfectly crispy and tender, making it a delight to eat. However, by this point, you’ll have to save some room for the next course because the main dishes just keep coming. Italian, Thai, Japanese, French, you name it, they have it all. Our favorite dish is the Thai stir-fried noodles, bursting with all three flavors perfectly balanced. The noodles are cooked just right—not too soft, not too firm, just perfect. The pizza has a thin crispy crust, freshly baked and fragrant with cheese. And the quality of the Japanese salmon is impeccable, tender and full of flavor.

Today’s desserts include sticky rice with mango and Nutella pizza, both of which are truly worth it for a brunch priced at 1,900++ per person. Additionally, they provide a bottle of rose wine for every two persons, along with mineral water.

After finishing our meal, we head to Pine, located by the poolside, to enjoy some beachside music. Pine offers a DJ playing tunes while we relax by the pool.

If you book a room that comes with Club Access service, they will provide an afternoon tea with homemade pastries. This is definitely not to be missed! In addition to this benefit, the club also offers complimentary non-alcoholic beverages from 6:30 am to 10:00 pm. During the period from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm, there will be a service of alcoholic beverages by the Sommelier, classic cocktails, sparkling wine, and canapés. Moreover, you can also enjoy breakfast at the club lounge. This exclusive benefit allows for a more private and intimate dining experience.

The Club Lounge features a private pool area and sunbathing lounges where you can relax and enjoy the ocean views in a more secluded setting. From the images, you can see the main pool, which is a large pool, while the Club Lounge pool is a long rectangular pool with a blue hue.

Sati Spa & Wellness – anyone who has tried it will be captivated. Relieve exhaustion and fatigue with the recommended lavender-scented massage oil. It’s soothing and relaxing.

The perfect end to the day is watching the sunset at Pine, accompanied by firefly lights and lively music from the DJ. It’s a fantastic atmosphere, and you can tell that everyone is thoroughly enjoying this moment.

And with the truly delicious flavors of the papaya salad and pad Thai, we couldn’t resist ordering another round in the evening. I can’t emphasize enough how delicious they are and how much I want everyone to try them like we did.

For breakfast, we enjoyed an a la carte menu at the club lounge. We had congee and steamed dumplings with crab sauce, as well as smoked salmon Benedict. It was a fantastic breakfast that gave us a great energy boost.

It’s a blissful trip in paradise and Buddha at Intercontinental Phuket Resort.
