Merlin Beach Resort

An introduction to Merlin Beach Resort

Standing in its own bay and built around three large pools, the Merlin Beach Resort feels like a small, welcoming resort which is able to combine good facilities suitable for all kinds of holidaymaker with friendly and efficient service. The pools each have their own characteristics – the central pool has a swim-up bar and is a good place for being sociable or just chilling; there's a quieter pool set back in a courtyard with an island, a waterfall and a peaceful, tropical feel, while the third pool is ideal for sunbathing, having splendid views out to sea.

The Merlin Beach is a quiet escape from Phuket's pulsating main resort, which can easily and cheaply be reached in a tuk-tuk or local taxi. But it'll just take a few minutes under the palm trees that dot the beachside lawns, where you can find sunbeds to laze on while watching the fishermen at work, to help you settle down and relax in this quiet corner of the island.
