Phuket True Luxury Series

Experience Phuket Beyond 5-Star

Phuket 101 True Luxury Series is dedicated to the highest level of hospitality, dining, and travel experiences that go beyond the usual definition of 5-star hotels. In Phuket, while many hotels and services provide comfort and impressive facilities, the True Luxury Series focuses on excellence through exceptional personal service, attention to detail, and a distinctive atmosphere that will make you feel special.

True Luxury emphasises personalised care delivered with warmth and sincerity, without unnecessary formality. It’s about creating experiences that feel truly unique. The hotels featured in this series showcase stunning designs complemented by world-class restaurants, exclusive amenities, and services tailored to meet your every need.

Through our True Luxury Series, Phuket 101 highlights the finest hotels and restaurants we’ve personally experienced over more than 10 years of exploring the island, all funded from our own budget, to make your holiday feel truly exclusive and unforgettable.
