Hotels’ personal credo of hand-picking only hotels which offer exceptional
service and unique experiences arguably make them experts in the field of
high-end hospitality. Hence, when they recommend The Chedi Phuket as an ideal
honeymoon destination, couples may want to sit up and take notes.
The Chedi Phuket comprises a series of one
and two-bedroom cottages littered along the white sands of Pansea Bay on the Andaman Sea. An
intriguing combination of East and West, the retreat remains grounded in its
local roots as seen in the thatched roofs but adds modern surprises
such as the library’s herringbone patterned floor.
Couples residing in any of the 108 cottages may bask in the sun at their own private veranda, or massage away
pre-wedding stress with relaxing treatments at The Spa Cottage. The Spa Cottage
also features a plunge pool with uninterrupted views of the Andaman Sea.
Guests are then invited to feast on a
three-course candle-light dinner right on the beach featuring local fare such
as Green Papaya and Crispy Sea Bass. The evening comes to a gentle halt as
couples return to the cottage to savour each other’s company over a plate of
exotic fruits.
