We will be shifting attention to Phuket over the coming weeks, to bring you information and pictures on some of the best hotels and resorts on the island, and perhaps provide you with some ideas and inspiration to get you through the final slog to the end of the year when most people take off for a well deserved vacation.

First up is the 5 star Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket, which is situated on the western coast of Phuket island and benefits from being located on both the Andaman Sea, and the large Phuket Lagoon.

This quiet location is perfect for those who want a relaxing beach vacation, but with so many leisure facilities on offer you could also enjoy a very active vacation here too! Swimming pool, fitness center, tennis courts, games room and more are complemented by the adjacent 18 hole golf course, horse riding, and the extra advantage of being able to use the facilities at the other hotels surrounding the lagoon.

There are 229 guest rooms and suites at the Dusit Thani Laguna Phuket all of which are bright and modern. The private Pool Villas provide the ultimate in luxury and space, and all rooms have a private balcony with either sea or lagoon views.

For dining, several restaurants provide such delights as authentic Italian cuisine, Royal Thai, and the more casual beachside dining, plus of course bars, cafés and lounges can be found here too.
