Originally born as the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in 1987 'and the first luxury hotel ever to be built on Phuket' it has played host to an impressive list of royalty and celebrities in its 20 year lifespan. Now, under operation as The Royal Phuket Yacht Club, Puravarna breathes new life into this island treasure, blending state-of-the-art technology with artful refurbishment in all 110 guest rooms. Located on the South Western tip of the island overlooking the pristine, unspoiled beach of Nai Harn and Prompthep cape, each guest room has a spacious patio with stunning ocean views.
