How to find Phuket's most romantic Boutique Resort

Location and how to get there
Golden Tulip Mangosteen Resort and Spa is located in the South of Phuket, on a private hillside offering fantastic views over Phuket town, various bays and the islands of the Andaman Sea. The resort is located 5 minutes from famous Rawai and Nai Harn beaches.

The resort is located twelve kilometers south of Phuket town and is situated between Chalong and Rawai. Kata and Karon are eight and eleven kilometers away respectively and a drive to Patong takes just half an hour. Phuket’s largest shopping centers, including Central Festival, are less than fifteen kilometers from the resort.

To get there from the airport, follow the main road to the South of the island until you reach Chalong circle. From there drive further South towards Rawai. After about 3 kilometers when reaching the top of a hill, prepare to turn right into a small road. Drive 500 meters through that small road and then turn right into the resort.

You have not experienced Phuket if you have not been in the South of the Island!

There is more to experience in the South of Phuket than you would have thought. Rawai Beach and Nai Harn are now lively areas with a multitude of local and international restaurants in every price category. The beach walk features many authentic Thai restaurants as well as seafood restaurants offering delicious and fresh fish, crabs, lobsters and oysters. There also are international dining venues and a variety of bars. Insiders know the location of two rather sophisticated night clubs!

Different from other tourism hotspots on the island, in the South, locals, expats and tourists mingle in a very relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. It is hence not a surprise that many of the frequent visitors to Phuket say that without any doubt, this is their preferred part of the island as it is only here that they can experience the real local Phuket.

The resorts located in the South of Phuket are in close proximity of Nai Harn beach which is  among one of the best beaches of Phuket. Another advantage for tourists staying in Rawai or Nai Harn is the proximity to Chalong pier from where most of the sea excursions as well as all diving trips depart. The well known Ao Chalong Yacht Club is based here as well.

Phuket’s only flood-light golf course, being Phunaka Golf Course & Golf Academy is a ten minute drive from Rawai and in the same area, one can find the famous tourist attractions such as the 45 meter tall Big Buddha and Chalong temple. And last but not least, the famous Prom Thep Cape where millions of visitors admire the spectacular sunsets is located in the South.
