Hotel Information: Tucked away in tropical groves by the ocean, the The Aura Resort & Spa Phuket is landscaped with lush native plants and flowers. From the open-air lobby with panoramic views of the grounds and ocean below, the hotel tiers down the hill to the two accommodation wings, which stretch towards the shore. A large pool reflects the building’s shape. Visitors are mostly couples and families.

Insider tip: Phuket has a beautiful environment which provides a unique eco-system for a number of rare plants and animals. Sirinat National Park, just 14 km (9 miles) from Arahmas, features beach forest, mangrove forest, and marine habitats. Signed trails lead through the park, and visitors can keep an eye out for the many rare plants and animals they indicate.
