The Surin, South West Thailand
MenuThis hidden gem is found tucked unobtrusively on the white sands of Pansea Bay, within a beach fronted coconut grove. Winding sandy pathways lead to beautifully constructed studios and cottages that boast unobstructed views of the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea and its iridescent pink sunsets. Only one other luxury resort shares the private bay and while it is peaceful and tranquil, there is plenty on offer for entertainment for all the family. Hit the tennis courts, enjoy a variety of water sports or simply relax and enjoy the stunning 360 degree views.

rooms
The charming cottages and suites are set within a tropical coconut grove and joined together by sandy jungle walkways lined with banana trees, coconut palms and fragrant Leelawadee trees. The one and two bedroomed Beach Deluxe Suites and Cottages have direct access to the beach and large balconies to enjoy the sea breezes while the one bedroomed Hillside cottages are set higher up, for those who enjoy the tropical vibe from their lovely foliage cocooned terraces.

facilities & activities
While the beachfront location holds all the appeal, there is plenty to do here. The striking black-tiled hexagonal pool has views out over the beach and lies in the centre of the resort, with a pool bar and kid’s pool just next door. There are tennis courts, a gym and a wide range of water sports on offer, such as catamaran sailing, windsurfing, snorkelling, volleyball and paddleboards. Stretch out with a complimentary yoga class on the sand and finish up at the lovely spa, found hidden within huge granite boulders and lush jungle foliage. And then we suggest you finish off your hectic day with a sundowner at the Beach Bar, overlooking the sea and enjoying that mesmerising sunset.

dining
The glass encased Lomtalay restaurant is open air, enjoy the extensive breakfast buffet with a sea breeze. The poolside bar and sunset café will keep you propped up throughout the day with an all-day dining menu and Mediterranean or International fare for dinner. Alternatively enjoy a romantic beachside setting under the stars at the pop-up Beach Restaurant that serves up fresh seafood and local Thai delicacies.

family
It’s a lovely choice for a family. The two bedroomed cottages offer plenty of space and the Beachfront Suites have extra day beds and rollaways can be added on request.
The kid’s pool is next to the larger pool and the beach is perfect for small ones. There is a Kids’ menu in all restaurants and from 2 until 4pm every day there is a just-turn-up kid’s club for ages 3-11. Babysitting is also available. The teens will also love heading out into ‘town’ next door, with convenient in-house buggies on call to drop them to and fro (but maybe don’t tell them about the in-villa phones that allow free international calls for the length of your stay…) -
location
The resort is found on Pansea Beach, a near-private stretch of sand only 40 minutes from the airport on the island of Phuket. An airport shuttle is available or there is free parking on-site. Patong’s vibrant nightlife is only 30 minutes away, or Phuket’s lovely old town lies just 40 minutes away. But while these attractions are all within easy striking distance, The Surin also sits alongside some hip beach clubs, trendy boutiques and tin-hut local Thai restaurants, just a two minute walk from the resort.
