Cape Panwa

An introduction to Cape Panwa

Located on the South Eastern tip of Phuket Island. Cape Panwa Hotel itself is situated on a hilltop commanding panoramic views of the Andaman Sea with its clear blue water and its many small islands. The hotel has proudly played host to many statesmen and celebrities, including movie stars who have been filming nearby such as Pierce Brosnan, Leonardo di Caprio and Catherine Zeta Jones. As an environmentally responsible hotel, Cape Panwa is committed to providing guests with a quality experience while maintaining a policy of respect for nature and surroundings at the same time.

The hotel's various buidlings are spread down the hillside that leads to the sandy beach below. To make it easier for guests to move from the main pool area to the beach, there's a free tram that runs through the well-kept gardens. Down by the beach, you'll find the popular beach bar and the second swimming pool - although you may prefer just to enjoy the tropical sun from the soft sands of the beach itself, where you can also enjoy views out to Koh Lon island.
