Suggested Day Trips
Is meditation something you have always wanted to learn more about but never known how or where to do so? This half day session will introduce you to traditional techniques used for centuries in Thailand Buddhist meditation. Learn the foundations and techniques and then venture to a hilltop temple to put in to practice what you have learned.
Experience Phuket's lush jungle interior. Venture to the island's wildlife sanctuaries for a whitewater rafting adventure and get to know Thailand's beloved Asian Elephants as you ride through the jungle on the back of these enormous animals. Change the pace by taking a ride on a 4-wheel drive vehicle before heading back through the jungle for a swim at the natural waterfalls.
End your trip with a night at...
The Evason Phuket Resort embodies the Evason philosophy of redefining experiences, and as such presents a refreshing reinterpretation of a five star resort designed to appeal to today's more sophisticated travelers.
With all of the resorts in Thailand offering colonial or contemporary Thai decor, it is nice to come across one that goes against the grain to produce a truly individual space. The SALA Phuket takes a highly stylish, minimal approach to design, with a certain European flavor.
