Patong Beach is one of those little corners of the world where you can completely escape. It has all the hallmarks of classic Phuket, with an incredible stretch of pure-white sand framed by rolling, jungle-covered hills. It has a thriving town, with entertainment at its very core, so you can choose to go wild, or completely chill out. Even though the resort is set right in the heart of this thriving town, thanks to its clever design, the Merlin feels like it is miles from anything. Set in 10 acres of majestic gardens with 5 distinct pool areas, filled with towering palms and hidden corners where you can escape it all, you can easily lose yourself in these expansive grounds.
This cutting-edge 4-star resort combines the traditional Thai feel with ultra-modern interior design. You can choose exactly how you spend your time here, but you will definitely not be stuck for something to do! There is a world-class spa, six different dining options and a wealth of extraordinary spaces where you can chill, socialise or swim up to one of the poolside bars to escape the heat with an icy cocktail. You are also steps away from a powder-soft white beach where you can explore the Andaman Sea in a multitude of ways.
As if all of this was not enough, we have packed in a day trip to an incredible elephant sanctuary to see these majestic creatures up close, and a Thai home-cooking class where you can learn to elevate your culinary skills to another level. Add in airport transfers, sumptuous breakfasts and a 20% discount on all food and drink, and you have a stay tailored to fill you with joy.
