Teeing off at the Exclusive Blue Canyon Country Club
JW Marriott Phuket Resort and Spa has the best of both worlds.
Set in 11 hectares of exquisite tropical gardens, it has 17 kms of natural, undeveloped beachfront, adjacent to the Sirinath Marine National Park and sea turtle nesting area. Accommodations are spacious and elegant with a minimum of 47 square meters (508 square feet) of luxurious living space, featuring Thai design and interior accents reflecting the ambiance of the destination. Its 265 rooms, including 13 suites, all face towards the Andaman Sea.
Facilities at the resort include seven restaurants and bars, two magnificent swimming pools, a Mandara Spa, shopping arcade, extensive conference facilities, a fitness center and an activities-packed kids club. The latest addition is a seaside championship pitch and putting green for golfers.
The resort is a world of its own. The other world? Blue Canyon Country Club.
The resort is just 10 minutes drive from the award-winning Blue Canyon Country Club, recognized as the “Asian and Pacific Golf Resort of the Year” by Hertz International Golf Travel Awards in London for 2000. In 2001, Asia Golf Monthly Magazine named Phuket as the “Best Golf Destination in Asia” and the Canyon Course at Blue Canyon Country Club as the “Best Championship Course in Asia”.
With two 18-hole championship courses designed by Yoshikazu Kato, (the Lakes Course and the Canyon Course) and glowing accolades from golfing greats Tiger Woods and Johnnie Walker, what better recommendation is there?
