Being a popular International tourist destination, Phuket has its share of great resorts. Some of them are truly breath-taking. Like this all villa resort on the south-eastern side of the island called The Vijitt.
In keeping with most high end resorts nowadays, the entrance is decidedly understated. The main reception is in a separate pavillion facing a circular garden. On one side is the spa entrance, and next to it is the entry point to the villas.

The villa design is based on quite a common concept of vernacular pitched roof design with lots of sliding glass partitions. The roofs are finished with wooden slates, and some of the villas have it's own private pool. The resort is on a hilly site which slopes toward the sea. This provides an interesting undulation in the landscape, giving it a nice village-like atmosphere.

The multi-tiered swimming pool.
Wish I could stay here, but the rates are from USD 170 to USD 1,600 a night. A bit beyond my budget.
(Note: I have made some edits in the Post after receiving some feedback from the Resort. They even offered to give me special rates for my next stay ! How nice.)
