Cape Panwa Hotel | Phuket, Thailand | Virgin Atlantic Holidays

Phuket, Thailand

4.5 stars

Nothing less than idyllic, Cape Panwa offers a quiet retreat in the southeast corner of this popular island. Excellent service, stylish rooms and world-class amenities can all be enjoyed as well as a secluded beach for hotel guests only. All suites and villas boast plenty of space and light with airy décor. There’s a variety to choose from, ideal for couples, families or groups of friends. Activities at the Cape Panwa abound – although if you want to do nothing more than laze by one of the 2 pools, that’s absolutely fine! For moments when you’re feeling more active, there are water sports galore, including canoes and stand-up paddle boards. As well as sporting activities, there are cultural activities and a spa in which to feel truly pampered. Children are welcomed with open arms and there’s plenty for them to do too, allowing parents time out to soak up the sun. Dining is plentiful at the Panwa, there are several superb restaurants, serving dishes from around the globe. There are also four bars to unwind in at the end of the day, sipping on a handcrafted cocktail perhaps whilst listening to a live band at The Light House or the swell of the sea at Bamboo Bar.

“Best beach and perfect relax”

Aug 09, 2026Egor M

We stayed at the Cape Panwa Hotel for three weeks, and we absolutely loved everything about it. First of all, I'd like to point out the hotel's superb location, it's very peaceful and perfect for a relaxing, quiet getaway. The hotel beach is ideal – a private, well-maintained stretch of shoreline with excellent facilities. At first, we were worried about the low tides during the summer season, but this was not a problem at all, because the hotel took care of it and made a schedule of the low and high tides for each day, and put this schedule in each room, meaning we always knew what time to go swimming. The entire territory is very green, and the buildings blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The hotel is very cozy, staff is very kind and attentive, and speaks basic English. We'd especially like to thank Maggie, who speaks perfect English and Russian and was incredibly attentive and caring to us. She made our stay as comfortable as possible and made us feel right at home. She promptly resolved any issues we had, advised us on worthwhile activities, and helped us organize a fantastic fishing trip. Thanks to people like her, we want to return again and again. The food also left us satisfied, breakfasts were great, especially freshly prepared omelette and variety of Thai delights. The à la carte restaurants are excellent, offering a wide selection of Thai and European dishes. Don't worry about the spiciness; the cuisine is tailored to European tourists. It's very convenient that the hotel has a regular shuttle that takes guests down to the embankment, where there are numerous cafes where you can have great Thai and European food at very reasonable prices. You can always find street vendors selling fruit and other delicacies. It's worth trying. There are two good stores: Top’s and a 7/11, a currency exchange, a small pharmacy, and massage services. We also really enjoyed using the hotel's guest app, which makes it incredibly easy to order food, services, and resolve any issues. All in all, the hotel is a great place for relaxing family or romantic holiday. We are looking forward to coming back and will recommend it to relatives and friends.

“Excellent stay at a relaxing, quite and lovely Thai hotel”

Aug 08, 2026IanHyde

Another wonderful stay at this amazing hotel. Has a very relaxed, quiet and more traditional Thai feel. Staff are excellent, rooms were very clean and spacious and grounds were magnificent with beautiful coconut trees and gardens leading down the hill to the spectacular white sandy beach. Special mention to the wonderful Pim at the front desk who is always so welcoming and helpful and also thank you to Ivy and Dear. Cape Andaman waiter staff were so friendly and all did a great job. Particular mention of Lisa, along withTeeraphat and Bew. Thanks to Khun Pat, the new GM for your lovely welcome and support during our stay. Look forward to coming back.

“Stunning holiday.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A truly wonderful stay – we will return! We stayed at Cape Panwa Hotel after booking through TUI, and from the moment we arrived we knew we'd made the right choice. The hotel exceeded our expectations in every way. Our room was absolutely palatial; spacious, beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and very well appointed. It was a pleasure to come back to after a day exploring or relaxing on the beach. The beach and sea are simply stunning. The water was crystal clear, and the setting was peaceful and picturesque. Perfect if you're looking for a relaxing holiday away from the busier parts of Phuket. We made a point of eating in all of the hotel's restaurants, and every meal was excellent. The highlight was the à la carte restaurant, Top of he Reef where we enjoyed some of the best food we've ever eaten. The staff and chefs were outstanding at catering for food allergies, taking great care to ensure every meal was safe as well as delicious. Before travelling, we'd read reviews saying the hotel drinks were expensive. While they may be compared with some bars elsewhere in Thailand, we found them very reasonably priced by UK standards and thought they represented good value. The staff were consistently friendly, welcoming, and helpful. The staff at The Top of the Reef were exceptional. Nothing seemed too much trouble, and their warm service really added to our stay. One of the hotel's best features is its transport. We loved the complimentary shuttle bus into Cape Panwa Village, which made it easy to explore the local shops, cafés, supermarkets and restaurants. We also used the hotel's bus to visit Phuket Old Town, which is definitely worth seeing, and booked several other excursions using the hotel's taxi service. Everything was well organised and reliable. The evening fire dancers were another highlight and made for a fantastic end to the day. A few tips for future guests: - Don't be put off by comments about drink prices – if you're visiting from the UK, you'll probably find them very reasonable. - Make time to visit Phuket Old Town using the hotel's shuttle service. - Be sure to try the à la carte restaurant at least once – it's exceptional. - If you have food allergies, you can eat with confidence. The staff take them seriously and provide excellent service. Overall, we had a wonderful holiday and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Cape Panwa Hotel. It offers beautiful surroundings, outstanding food, excellent service, and a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. We'd happily return and wouldn't hesitate to give it five stars.
