Scene
Private and secluded, but still family-friendly, with beautiful tropical gardens and zen-inspired calm
The Chava Resort is small and intimate, and secluded and private in the best way; its grounds are filled with and surrounded by a
jungle of palm trees, tropical flowers, and foliage that add to the luxurious island feel. The decor amplifies the natural jungle vibe, with lots of
natural wood, rough stone, and water features throughout. Furniture and art are all done
in clean, elegantly simple lines that -- coupled with the Buddhas placed around
the property -- add to the resort's zen-inflected serenity. The Chava's large,
picturesque pool is the hotel's heart, and is lined with classic white and wood sun beds, umbrellas, and shaded cabanas. Families with children are
treated well here, and the pool is certainly a popular spot, although it never feels too crowded or loud. The Chava is also an idyllic spot for
weddings and honeymoons.
Location
On western Phuket, within walking distance of Surin Beach, with plenty of nearby restaurants, ecotourism, and other beaches
The Chava Resort is located on the west
coast of Phuket, surrounded by multimillion-dollar properties, high-end
resorts, shopping, restaurants, bars, and beautiful beaches, although it still manages to
maintain a secluded and exclusive feeling. Famed Surin Beach, dotted with restaurants and cafes to suit all budgets, is less than a five-minute walk from the hotel, and other beautiful beaches are also within walking
distance. There are several golf courses nearby, as well as opportunities for
ecotourism, elephant treks, birdwatching, and tiger spotting. The Phuket
airport is a 30-minute drive from the resort. The hotel can arrange airport transfers and both car and motor scooter rentals. The hotel offers free parking.
Rooms
Luxury apartments with private balconies, chic bathrooms, and full kitchens
Rooms at the Chava Resort are fully
decked-out luxury apartments, ranging in size from two to five bedrooms, with picture
windows and private balconies. Some also have private plunge pools. The apartments
are large and spotless, with full-size open kitchens that include microwaves,
ample utensils, cook- and serving-ware, and dishwashers. The style in simple and understatedly luxurious, with hardwood and tile floors, clean-lined furniture in grays and creams, granite countertops, and just a pop of colorful fabric in bedrooms. Bathrooms are equally impressive,
with deep soaking tubs and separate walk-in rainfall showers. Patios -- furnished with teak tables and chairs, and even, in some
cases, sofas -- feel like additional rooms. All apartments have 42-inch flat-screen TVs with surround sound, DVD players, and iPod docks, as well as large straw beach bags and plush beach towels to borrow.
Features
Swimming pool, poolside restaurant with kids' menu, in-room spa services, access to neighboring resorts, and free breakfast -- but no gym or full spa
Set next to the cabana- and lounger-lined tropical pool, the Chava Resort’s breezy restaurant
serves excellent Thai and Western dishes, as well as a special children’s menu. Room
service is available during limited hours. Guests can call ahead and have food or
groceries waiting in their apartment upon arrival. Cooking lessons and private
chefs can be arranged, as well as cultural experiences like muay
thai and kickboxing lessons. In-room and poolside massages can be booked, and passes can be
arranged so that guests may use a neighboring fitness center. For a fee,
families can use the Doubletree Resort’s kids' club and water park. Babysitting services can also be arranged. Breakfast and Wi-Fi are free.
