Luxury 5* Phuket eco-hotel

• Contemporary cool: This slick addition to the coastline of northeast Phuket, La Green Hotel & Residence offers a stylish place to sleep that’s also hot on sustainability. It’s the first hotel in Thailand designed and built following the Green Building code, and uses green energy, locally derived products, minimal packaging and vertical gardens – the hotel not only acts ‘green’, it looks it too, with swaying palms and tropical fronds draping off balconies.

• Delicious eats: Guests can pick from four gastronomic restaurants, serving flavours of Thailand and beyond. At JaakDin, sample delicious sandwiches, baked goods and organic dishes. Sanook has serves southern Thai cuisine and expertly crafted cocktails. Slow-food dining can be found at Overgrown, while Manaw Manaw can be found by the pool for refreshing drinks and grab-and-go snacks.

• Spa sanctuary: Soothe body and mind in the hotel’s fabulous spa, where you can indulge in everything from legendary Thai massages (if you can handle the pressure!) to gentle facial massage, smoothing scrubs, wraps and masks. There’s a steam room, sauna and Jacuzzi too, plus a well-equipped fitness suite. If you’re an active traveller, you’ll also relish the running track, sports ground and yoga terrace, too.
