The InterContinental Phuket Resort blends luxury with cultural heritage, featuring five distinctive pools set against a breathtaking landscape. The Beachfront Pool, inspired by the mythical Naga serpent, reflects its fluid movement from sea to mountain, aligning with the resort’s architectural retelling of the ancient Thai epic Traibhumikata.
Designed by Habita Architects, the resort embodies the three realms of the epic: the Underwater World, the Human World, and the Heavenly Realm. The beachside “represents the Underwater World, where the Naga ascends through the pool and an underground tunnel, leading to the Human World, symbolized by the main lobby.” Guests then transition into the Crystal Kingdom, with shimmering walls mirroring the sky, culminating at the Sawan Pavilion—an ethereal white-and-silver structure surrounded by lotus ponds, evoking the sensation of floating among the clouds.
By seamlessly integrating Thai mythology with modern elegance, the InterContinental Phuket Resort offers a truly immersive and refined experience.
