Fodor's Expert Review Thanyapura Sports & Health Resort
120/1 Moo 7 Thepkasattri Rd., Thalang, Phuket, Thailand Fodor's Choice
Travelers looking for an active, health-conscious getaway love Thanyapura for the personalized programs involving fitness and nutrition (professional and Olympic athletes often come here). Thanyapura has three pools (one Olympic-sized), indoor and outdoor professional tennis courts, rugby and football fields, running track, boxing ring, and a high-tech, fully equipped gym all of which come with optional top-notch trainers and coaches. The resort also has a Mind Center, where well-known guest teachers run meditation retreats. The comfortable rooms are well designed, spotless and decorated in an upbeat, modern style, with plenty of amenities. There's an inviting sports bar and a wonderful restaurant serving health-boosting, delicious, and creative cuisine, and breakfast is outstanding.
PROS
- highly professional staff
- unbeatable sports facilities, including an Olympic-size pool
- excellent spa
CONS
- remote location
- very quiet in the evenings
- a bit of a mishmash between hotel and sports resort
