Situated near the city centre of Kata in close proximity to Karon – one of the island’s longest and most spacious beach – the new Avista Grande Phuket Karon, MGallery offers 159 rooms and suites in seven European-inspired styles. Perched on a mountainside with resplendent views of the Andaman Sea, the resort features light-coloured wood and Sino-Portuguese patterns that blend Phuket’s mining heritage with rich European furnishings.
General Manager Alain Ruffier said, “This new boutique hotel seamlessly blends the island’s rich local culture with its Sino-Portuguese influences. With its impeccably designed rooms and suites, free-form pool, rejuvenating spa, and exceptional culinary options, it is sure to become a favourite among honeymooners, families and young couples.”
Dining at Avista Grande Phuket Karon, MGallery is a culinary journey through a myriad of cultures that have shaped today’s most popular islands in the world. PortoSino combines Portuguese, Chinese and Thai fare with a dash of Western flavour, serving Thai fusion and Mediterranean dishes alongside Western comfort food for lunch and dinner choices from across the world. Lido, which takes its name from the Italian word for ‘beach’, is a poolside bar serving refined signature refreshments under the sun. For tranquility and peace, enjoy a cuppa at Tearapy, a library and tea room and soak in the rituals and customs of the island’s heritage.
MGallery hotels embody the style, stories and allure of the destinations they represent. Each hotel is inspired by their own stories echoed in artful design or signature dishes and cocktails. All MGallery properties are designed to promote health and wellness with holistic spa treatments and fitness centres. Paying special attention to a growing female clientele, MGallery hotels introduce the ‘Inspired by Her’ program to bring the guest’s experience further through bespoke design, sensorial mixology, artful stories and wellbeing dedicated to women in each of these hotels.
Featuring lush tropical surrounds, simply rejuvenate in the Pearl Signature Massage with pearl powder, traditional Thai massage, or a calming aromatherapy session at Pearl Spa. Fitness enthusiasts can enjoy a total work out at the 24-hour FitLab that features state-of-the-art gym equipment and yogis can look forward to practicing their poses in a dedicated yoga space. For younger guests, a Games Room and Kids Club will be opening later this year.
