Avista Hideaway Phuket Guide

Patong is close enough for an evening out, while the hillside resort stays quiet when you return.

BEFORE YOU BOOK

The hillside layout matters.

01 / LOCATION

Ask where the room is located

The lobby, rooms and pools sit at different levels. Ask for a room near the lobby and breakfast restaurant if stairs are a concern.

02 / VIEW

Premier Ocean View is the official sea-view room

Only six of the 150 rooms are listed as Premier Ocean View, and this room type is adults only.

03 / ACCESS

Pool Access is not a private pool

Pool Access rooms open onto a shared pool. The Hideaway Suite Private Pool has its own plunge pool.

POOLS

Three pools, three different moods.

MAIN

Tropical / Main Pool

The main pool has forest and sunset views and is the easiest place to settle in for a long afternoon.

RIVERSIDE

Riverside Pool

This pool connects directly to Pool Access rooms, making it convenient when you want to move between the room and pool.

ADULTS ONLY

Hillside Pool

The highest pool in the resort is reserved for adults. All three pools are currently listed as open from 07:00 to 19:00.

PATONG

Close by car, not on foot.

SHUTTLE

Reserve a seat at reception

The hotel currently lists departures at 10:30, 12:00, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00 and 22:00. Seats are limited.

ONE WAY

Plan the return trip

The published schedule is a one-way service to the roundabout near Sea Pearl Beach Resort. Use Grab or a taxi to return.

WALKING

Patong is not within a practical walk

The drive is short, but the resort is not positioned for walking back and forth to Patong.

DINING

Save one evening for the rooftop.

SIZZLE

Sunset and grilled dishes

Sizzle is a rooftop grill with sea and mountain views. Ask for an outdoor table when booking around sunset.

TAMBU

An Indian tasting menu

Tambu serves Indian tasting menus on the rooftop. Dinner is offered daily, while lunch is currently limited to weekends.

MICHELIN GUIDE

Listed, not Michelin-starred

Both restaurants have appeared in the Michelin Guide. This does not mean they hold Michelin stars.
