Kamalaburi Guesthouse

The views from Paresa Resort, high on a clifftop, are breathtaking at sunset. It’s an idyllic spot to sip cocktails, before moving to the terrace for sumptuous southern and central Thai cuisine. Start with mixed Thai canapés or the soft shell crab miang, followed by the fragrant stir-fried Phuket lobster. Don't forget to save room for the Thai-styled dessert.

Guests are greeted with a glass of champagne or an alcohol-free alternative, before embarking on a nine- or 18-course journey marked by precision and flair. The signature Smokaccia with tomato reduction and mortadella foam is a standout, as is a clever reimagining of lasagna Bolognese. A thoughtful reuse of trimmings adds depth without waste, and local sourcing highlights the region's bounty. Vegan options available. Flavours linger long after the final bite.

Spanning two floors of the Twinpalms hotel, this restaurant’s elegant yet earthy interior and dimmed lighting make it the perfect setting for steak and wine lovers. Everything is on display: from the chefs in the open kitchen and the nice beef showcase with a small oyster bar, to the choice cuts of top-quality imported meats. Guests can choose their steak from the fridge before it is expertly grilled by the chefs. A choice of five high-end brands of knives is also on offer.

Buabok is set in a tranquil resort that features reflective pools and swaying palms, creating the perfect backdrop for dining. Enjoy aromatic Thai cuisine beneath the pitched roof of an elegant wooden villa. From Thai salads to smooth curries, the menu is crafted from fresh local produce. Arrive before sunset to embrace the gentle pace of nature and stunning views of the Andaman Sea. Don't miss their rich, flavourful Panaeng Nuea, an Angus beef red curry.
