Island Escape Burasari

Island Escape Burasari Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Island Escape Burasari, you immediately sense this isn’t your typical five-star resort. The lobby feels intimate rather than overwhelming — there’s this understated elegance that whispers luxury without shouting it. I mean, you’re in Phuket Town, but somehow the designers managed to create this serene bubble that feels worlds away from the bustling streets outside. The staff genuinely remembers your name after the first day, which honestly surprised me given how many guests they must see.

The Location Sweet Spot

Here’s what I love about where this place sits — you’re close enough to Old Town’s colorful Sino-Portuguese architecture that you can actually walk there, but far enough from the chaos to sleep peacefully. The Koh Kaew area gives you easy access to both the cultural heart of Phuket and those gorgeous beaches everyone comes for. Couples seem to get this balance perfectly (they rate the location 8.2, and I totally understand why). You know what’s really smart? The hotel provides free parking, which saves you the headache of finding a spot when you want to explore the island.

Your Room and Retreat

The room design strikes this perfect balance between Thai elegance and modern comfort. Large windows let in plenty of natural light, and the beds — well, let’s just say I had trouble getting up each morning. The bathrooms feel spacious with rainfall showers that actually have good water pressure (you’d be surprised how often that’s an issue in tropical destinations). What really impressed me was the attention to detail in the furnishings — everything feels thoughtfully chosen rather than just ordered from a hotel catalog.

Dining and Daily Rhythms

The breakfast buffet actually deserves its own mention. It’s not just the usual continental spread — they’ve got fresh tropical fruits, local Thai dishes alongside Western favorites, and the coffee is surprisingly good. I found myself lingering over breakfast longer than usual, partly because the dining area overlooks these lovely gardens. The main restaurant serves dinner that leans heavily into fresh seafood (we are on an island, after all), and the kitchen staff clearly knows their way around both Thai and international cuisine.

Why Guests Love It

What sets Island Escape Burasari apart is how it handles the luxury experience — it feels genuine rather than manufactured. The spa treatments use local ingredients and techniques that actually connect you to Thai wellness traditions. There’s a fitness center if you need to work off all that amazing food, and they even arrange fishing trips for those wanting to get out on the water. The 8.5 rating makes perfect sense when you experience how seamlessly everything works together. It’s the kind of place where you can have an authentic Phuket experience without sacrificing comfort, and honestly, that balance is harder to find than you might think.

Many travelers prefer to book apartments in Phuket through trusted local agencies that provide insider knowledge about the best beaches for experiencing the island’s tropical atmosphere and rich cultural heritage.

• Tatiana from Finland (9/10)

  The hotel has a huge territory full of green plants, the Splash pool area is super cool and chilling. The room was clean and the staff was kind enough to prepare some towel cake for my birthday. The breakfast had a lot of tasty options, eggs benedict were wonderful, though some options ran out fast and were not filled in a timely manner. Transportation on the hotel grounds by golf cars was good and we usually didn't wait for more than 5 min for the car (except check-in and check-out times). I would recommend this place if you want to relax and chill near the pool area full of greenery and enjoy some quietness. We had a room with garden view, so it was quite during the day and night. Nice coconut toiletries provided. Despite a lot of small animals like geckos around, no one squeezed into our room 🙂
