Phuket, Thailand · Rosewood · Grand Luxury
Rosewood Phuket opened on November 20, 2018 as the brand's first Southeast Asia resort, placing 71 pool pavilions and villas across 43 acres descending through rainforest to 600 metres of Emerald Bay, one of the last undeveloped west-facing coves in Phuket, and simultaneously launching Asaya, Rosewood's proprietary wellness concept. HBO filmed Season 3 of The White Lotus dinner scenes at Ta Khai here, then returned for Muay Thai and Cafe Del Mar setups, buying out half the resort over two visits.

About Rosewood Phuket
- Rosewood Phuket's opening on November 20, 2018 also marked the global debut of Asaya, Rosewood's holistic wellness concept built around integrated physical, emotional, and social wellbeing, which has since been deployed across more than a dozen Rosewood properties worldwide.
- Emerald Bay, where the resort sits, is one of the last undeveloped secluded coves on Phuket's southwestern coast; the 600-metre private beach frontage is enclosed by jungled headlands and remains outside the mass-tourism corridors of Patong and Karon.
- All 71 accommodations are pool pavilions or pool villas, there are no standard rooms, making it one of very few properties of its scale where every unit has a private pool.
- HBO filmed every dinner scene in Season 3 of The White Lotus at Ta Khai, the Southern Thai seafood restaurant on Emerald Bay, and later used the estate for Muay Thai training and Cafe Del Mar sequences.
History
Rosewood Phuket opened in 2018 as the brand's first resort in Southeast Asia, nestled along a 600-meter secluded beachfront at Emerald Bay. Inspired by luxurious beachside estates, it embodies the A Sense of Place philosophy with innovative architecture blending Thai influences and tropical landscape. The 71 pool pavilions and villas create a serene hideaway celebrating Phuket's natural beauty and culture. HBO filmed the dinner scenes for Season 3 of The White Lotus at Ta Khai, then returned to shoot Muay Thai and Cafe Del Mar sequences on the Emerald Bay estate.
The setting
Rosewood Phuket unfolds along Muen-Ngern Road in Pa Tong, Kathu District, its pavilions and villas descending through rainforest to a six-hundred-metre frontage on Emerald Bay — a secluded west-facing cove enclosed by jungled headlands, five minutes north of Patong's main beach by road. The bay holds one of the last undeveloped cove positions in southwestern Phuket, delivering crystalline Andaman waters and tree-shaded sands in an ocean-village setting. Freedom Beach, prized for its isolation, lies sixty-four minutes away, while Simon Cabaret Phuket is forty-two minutes by road. A concealed gated entrance off the coastal road ensures the seclusion expected of a Rosewood address while keeping all Patong attractions effortlessly within reach. 39 km from Phuket International Airport.
