The hotel

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.

Rooms are lovely- and presumably at some point- were 2 and made into 1. Private beach accessible by funicular railway- or very steep steps. Good shuttle bus to take you down to village- and also shuttle buses to Central, Phuket old town and Patong for small fee. Good buffet breakfast and coconut bar on beach good for drinks and lunches.

Cape Panwa Hotel provided an exceptional experience. With my expectations of my holiday to rest and relax. The on-site facilities were great, multiples pools, beach access and the restaurants were outstanding. The service was always on point from all staff, but Hazel always went above and beyond and provided top tier service. Daily cheap shuttles to offsite areas. Close to many places to get a massage. Some small showers this time of year but only last 10 or so minutes and would go away. Over all terrific stay. Read less

After spending 2 weeks at the hotel, we enjoyed everything that was on offer. The staff in the restaurant went above and beyond. Lisa and Onon were our waitresses. They were always smiling and they were excellent servers. The food at the resort was unbelievable. The amount on offer was immense. Our meals were so delicious and plentiful.
