Noku Phuket: A Luxurious Stay

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a level of hospitality that set the tone for the rest of our stay.

Our Private Pool Villa: A Slice of Paradise

We were fortunate to stay in one of the hotel's private pool villas, and it was absolutely fantastic. The villa was spacious and beautifully designed, with modern Asian decor that felt both luxurious and comfortable. The super comfy bed ensured restful nights, while the well-equipped mini-bar and snacks added a nice touch of convenience.

The villa also featured a stunning patio area with a sofa and sunbeds beside our private pool. This outdoor space became our personal oasis, perfect for relaxing and soaking up the peaceful atmosphere. The spacious bathtub and beautifully designed bathroom provided the perfect spot for unwinding.

Culinary Delights: Cooking Class, Breakfast, and In-Room Dining

One of the highlights of our stay was the cooking class with the head chef of Noku Phuket. We had the incredible opportunity to learn how to cook two classic Thai dishes—Tom Yum and Pad Gra Pao. The chef's expertise and passion for Thai cuisine were evident as he guided us through each step. The result was a super tasty meal that we enjoyed right after the class, making the experience even more rewarding.

Breakfast at Noku Phuket was another culinary delight. The buffet was extensive and offered a wide variety of both Western classics and traditional Thai dishes. We particularly enjoyed the smoked chicken, which was tender and flavorful, and the Massaman curry, a rich and aromatic dish that was perfect for starting the day.

Our culinary journey didn’t end there. We also dined at the hotel’s restaurant, where we were treated to an array of delicious dishes. I loved the Thai Wagyu beef, which was tender and flavorful, while the king prawn, cooked to perfection, was a favorite for Marina. The white snapper filet was another standout dish, as was the Australian striploin steak, which we savored during a private in-room dining experience. The attention to detail in every dish was impressive, and the flavors were nothing short of spectacular.

Noku Phuket Herb Garden and Sustainable Practices

Noku Phuket also prides itself on its commitment to sustainability. The hotel’s herb garden was a delightful surprise, and we were given a tour where we learned about the various herbs they grow and use in their kitchen. It was inspiring to see how the hotel integrates sustainable practices into its operations. In fact, Noku Phuket was awarded the Green Mark Gold Award in 2022, a testament to their efforts in rainwater harvesting, conserving mature trees, and using energy-efficient technologies.

Relaxation and Wellness

The hotel’s facilities further enhanced our experience. The infinity pool at the top of the hill offered breathtaking views of Phuket, and it was a perfect spot to relax and take in the scenery. The gym was well-furnished with modern equipment, and the adjacent yoga room provided a peaceful space for stretching and relaxation.

Each afternoon, we looked forward to Teatime at 4 PM. Sipping on tea or coffee while enjoying delicious treats and the panoramic view from the hilltop was lovely.

Convenient Location and Easy Mobility

Noku Phuket is centrally located, just 20 minutes from Kata Beach and Phuket Town, making it a perfect base for exploring the area. The hotel offers a buggy service that made it easy to get around the property. Whether we needed to go to the restaurant or wanted to explore other parts of the hotel, a buggy was just a call away. They also offer bus to and from highlight destinations in Phuket, such as Phuket Old Town and Kata Beach.

Noku Phuket: A Top-Notch Experience

Our stay at Noku Phuket was an incredible experience, from the luxurious private villa and exceptional culinary experiences to the stunning views and top-notch service. The hotel’s commitment to sustainability and guest satisfaction truly sets it apart, making it, in our opinion, the best 5-star hotel in Chalong.

Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway, a culinary adventure, or simply a place to relax and unwind, Noku Phuket offers everything you need for a perfect stay. We can't recommend it highly enough and can't wait to return for another incredible experience.
