M Social Phuket is located in a trendy corner of the Thai island and offers easy access to the country’s famed coastline, including the well known Patong Beach. This Phuket hotel is also rolling out some enticing culinary offerings over the next couple of months. We take a look at three of them, below, and run our eye over the wide range of room options for those considering where to stay in Phuket.
#1 Rise and dine
The best way to start a day while on holiday is by embracing island time and letting breakfast take centre stage! M Social Phuket hotel’s Beast & Butterflies offers a selection of enticing fare and fresh boat-to table meals that can be enjoyed in the hotel restaurant or as in-room dining. And since this is a vacation, why not choose a tiki cocktail or a glass of bubbles to go with the great food? Either way, the fabulous flavours on the menu will make it a memorable morning – and it’s the kind of venue where you can sit back and really embrace the culinary experience.
#2 Inspired by izakaya
To keep the day rolling with delicious eats, the hotel’s all-in-one Japanese restaurant and bar Bincho is serving up a take on the informal and authentic dining experience of izakaya. It’s open from 11.30am till late, so swing by to sample sushi and sake, or other casual bites, beers and artisan cocktails.
#3 Sip and dip
To really make it an indulgent tropical holiday, spend the day basking in the sunshine and cooling off by the hotel’s pool. Ideally, with a cocktail or refreshing drink in hand! At their two outdoor pools, located in the appropriately named Sunkissed and Afterglow wings, you can do exactly that. And, if you’re interested in dancing the night away, just wait until nightfall and this tranquil daytime escape turns into a DJ party!
Opening Information: Beast & Butterflies and Bincho will both open in May; Afterglow is already open to the public, while the Sunkissed pool will be ready in April.
