The 133-room Sunsuri Resort Phuket is an upscale property on a lush hillside above Nai Harn Beach. The resort offers five sleek pools, a small spa, a gym, and poolside cocktails and dining. Minimalist, modern rooms are spacious and provide lake views plus big soaking tubs. Villas and suites feature kitchenettes and private pools. The hillside location, though, means there are steep inclines. The resort is one of the most popular in the area, so it can get crowded.
