The InterContinental® Resort Phuket design story is a narrative that unveils the essence of Thainess via a retelling of the ancient epic Traibhumikata, harmonising three realms: Heaven, Human World and the Underwater World. The resort designed by famed architectural firm Habita Architects intricately weaves the saga of these worlds.
The beach side mirrors the Underwater World, where Naga the serpent, embarks on a long journey from the sea, winding through the beachside pool and underground tunnel to reach Phasutha or the Human World, home to our main lobby.
Transitioning through the Human World the guests encounter the Crystal Kingdom reflecting sky's mosaic through it's glittering walls. The sacred path leading up to the heavenly Sawan Pavillion, the zenith of the three realms. The splendid white and silver pavilion, surrounded by lotus ponds embodying the sacred ocean with the sky's reflection echoing the ethereal sense that the heavenly pavilion is floating on clouds.
Immerse yourself in this trinity of worlds at InterContinental Resort Phuket, where you stay is indeed Heaven on Earth.
