Paresa Resort is easy to reach, just a 45 minute drive from Phuket International Airport.

Hotel
The Paresa Resort seems to blend perfectly with its environment, nestled in tropical forests and perched high above the ocean, it offers stunning panoramic sea views. The design is an unusual mix of the Southern Thai style with a modern influence; pavilion-style ceilings and rich timber finishes help create a clean, spacious atmosphere. The general mood is calm, understated style and sophistication. Service levels are exemplary throughout the hotel and the staff endeavour to meet your every need with a personal touch that runs throughout.
Rooms
With every room offering stunning ocean views you are spoilt for choice. Most come with a private infinity pool with heavenly views across the Andaman Sea, the 2 bedroom Ocean Pool Rooms do share a pool but as the pool is shared between only 2 rooms this is a great option for small groups. For a real treat, the 6 bedroom Villa Amanzi comes with a 15 metre infinity pool, with a private staircase leading you directly to the ocean.
Suites are finished in the warm woods that feature throughout the resort, with beautiful nods to the Thai culture reminding you of your location.
