The Very Best Of Thai Hospitality

Having visited numerous hotels and resorts over the several decades, what truly sets Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket apart to me is its dedicated team of professionals. The employees embody the very best of Thai hospitality, their warm smiles and attentiveness made me feel truly valued as a guest.

 

As a Thai person, my stay at Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket filled me with a sense of pride. It beautifully represents Thailand’s capacity for world-class hospitality, combining luxury with authentic Thai warmth and grace. This exceptional service is clearly a point of pride for the resort, and rightly so – it turns a simple stay into a memorable experience. Even during my brief two-day stay, I felt a deep sense of rejuvenation and a connection to the core values of Dusit, a proud Thai heritage brand that excels in fostering a welcoming, nurturing atmosphere.

 

A Design That Speaks Volumes

 

 

From the moment I stepped into the resort, I was enveloped in an atmosphere that seamlessly fuses neo-colonial architecture which traditional Thai motifs, creating a unique charming ambiance that set the tone for my rejuvenating stay.

 

While the resort doesn’t boast a private beach, the clever layout and design ensure a sense of intimacy and seclusion. This attention to detail in creating private spaces within a larger complex is a testament to the resort’s commitment to guest comfort and tranquillity.

 

 

With 245 contemporary rooms and villas – ranging from 32-sqm – 292-sqm, Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket is thoughtfully designed to cater to families, couples and solo adventurers. The resort’s engaging family retreat programmes and vibrant kids’ club feature activities such as egg picking, kids’ kickboxing and tie-dye t-shirt making. For adults, there’s a variety of exciting watersports with motorised and non-motorised options, the 18-hole Laguna Phuket golf course, a selection of ball games and the tranquil spa.

 

A Michelin-Star Experience

 

One of the culinary highlights of Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket is its wide selection of dining options, each offering a distinct gastronomic journey. For a taste of Thailand, Benjarong features authentic Thai cuisine in an elegant teak house, with the signature dish Mung Korn Lui Fai part of the Michelin-guide menu. Elsewhere, Laguna Café serves an impressive array of international specials, Casuarina Beach Restaurant & Bar offers an enticing beachfront dining experience and Horizon Lounge serves coffee, freshly baked pastries, afternoon tea and evening cocktails. If gourmet cuisine is more to your liking, La Trattoria offers refined Italian fine dining.

 

 

For experience-seeking guests looking to explore the vibrant local area, the hotel provides convenient access to Porto de Phuket, a hub for lifestyle retail, shopping at Villa Market and a diverse array of restaurants and bars in the lively Boat Avenue area.

 

However, perhaps my the most memorable part of my stay was the cooking class led by a Michelin-starred chef. This hands-on experience allowed me to learn how to prepare classic Thai dishes like Pad Thai and Chicken Green Curry. The chef’s expertise and passion for Thai culinary arts were inspiring, making the class both educational and deeply enjoyable.

 

 

Wellness And Rejuvenation

 

At Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket, the guest experience is inspired by the four key pillars of Dusit Graciousness: Service, Locality, Well-Being and Sustainability. Service is personalised and gracious, ensuring every guest feels uniquely cared for. Locality connects guests to the local community, offering authentic and enriching experiences.

 

Well-being goes beyond the spa, delivering comprehensive wellness experiences. Sustainability focuses on social, economic and environmental responsibility, ensuring a positive impact on the community and the planet.

 

 

To complement overall relaxation and well-being offered by the resort, I visited BDMS Wellness Clinic. After a consultation, I was recommended the Royal life healthy plus treatment. I was truly impressed by the professional care I received before, during and after my therapy. The clinic itself was immaculately clean, well-maintained and demonstrated a deep understanding and commitment to patient care. It left me feeling a positive vibe and a truly informative experience.
