Unveiling Laguna Phuket's Hidden Gems
Beyond the Beach
Phuket, renowned for its stunning beaches and vibrant nightlife, often overshadows the tranquil treasures nestled within its landscapes.
Laguna Phuket, a sprawling integrated resort complex, offers a unique escape from the typical tourist hustle, revealing a world of hidden delights for those willing to explore beyond the sun-kissed shores.
From serene lagoon cruises to enchanting mazes and authentic Italian cuisine, Laguna Phuket promises an unforgettable experience that connects you with nature, culture, and a slower pace of life.
Glide Across the Lagoons
A Tranquil Journey
One of Laguna Phuket’s most charming features is its intricate network of lagoons, offering a unique and relaxing mode of transport. Forget the car and embrace the gentle rhythm of the water as you hop aboard the complimentary ferry boat service. Connecting seven of the resort’s properties – Dusit, Saii, Cassia, Canal Village, Angsana, Allamanda, and Banyan Tree – this car-free transport system allows you to effortlessly glide across the tranquil waters, taking in the lush tropical scenery.
Boats operate every 20 minutes from 10 am to 8:45 pm, providing ample opportunity to explore the different resorts and their unique offerings. Children are captivated by the novelty of the boat ride, while parents appreciate the opportunity to unwind and connect with the surrounding nature.
Sunset on the Lagoon
A Magical Experience
As the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in vibrant hues, the lagoon transforms into a magical setting, making sunset cruises an absolute must-do.
Just remember, the boats don’t operate during rain, so check the weather before you plan your lagoon adventure. This simple pleasure – a gentle boat ride across shimmering water – embodies the essence of slowing down and savouring the moment.
Lost in the Maze
An Enchanting Escape
Beyond the lagoons, a hidden gem awaits those with a sense of adventure: the enchanting maze nestled between the lagoon and Homm Resort. Getting delightfully lost in this verdant labyrinth offers a unique escape, a chance to reconnect with your inner child and embrace the simple joy of exploration.
A Scenic Stroll to Canal Village
The maze also serves as a starting point for a wonderfully relaxing walk. Meander along the path leading from the Angsana Main Resort entrance, through the maze, and towards the charming Canal Village.
This picturesque route is a favourite amongst residents, with dog walkers, cyclists, and families enjoying the tranquil atmosphere and scenic beauty. The walk provides a glimpse into the local life, a welcome contrast to the bustling tourist areas.
