Six Senses Kapok Island Hotel, a tropical paradise embraced by karst limestone forests

Finally found a fairy island on earth! A hidden luxury paradise in Thailand✨🏝
Spending these days at Six Senses Kapok Island Hotel makes me not want to go home! As a hidden haven in Thailand, it perfectly defines what "wild luxury at its peak" means, completely outshining the crowded beaches of nearby Phuket Island.

🌿 Stay in a glass palace in the tropical forest
• Room type: All villas! Each with a mirrored pool. Our overwater villa is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and every morning we could jump straight into the jelly-like sea. The key point is no plastic products at all, even the straws are made of bamboo♻️
• Design: Open thatched roof + floor-to-ceiling glass walls, lying in bed you can see the starry sky, the bathroom’s outdoor shower area is surrounded by greenery, and little birds come to peek while you shower🐦
• Bonus: The mini bar offers free local Thai handmade snacks, replenished daily with fresh young coconuts🥥

🌅 Photo guide, keep it handy
1. Hilltop infinity pool: Go at 5 PM! Pink sunset clouds reflect in the pool, every shot looks like a National Geographic cover
2. Sunset beach bar: Order a butterfly pea flower cocktail, with limestone mountains as the backdrop, the silhouette is stunning
3. Overwater yoga pavilion: Do aerial yoga in the early morning mist, photographers shoot from the shore, your social media will be flooded with location questions
4. Treehouse restaurant terrace: Wear the tie-dye dress gifted by the hotel, shoot forest-style photos under rattan chandeliers

🍴 Foodie radar on full alert
✔️ Hilltop restaurant: Must-try Thai lobster red curry! Made with locally crushed spices, enjoyed with a 270° sea view👍
✔️ Living Room: I could eat three servings of the honeycomb yogurt bowl for breakfast, porridge made from freshly picked organic rice fields is super fresh and sweet
✔️ Hidden perk: Free ice cream cart at the lobby bar daily from 4-5 PM! Durian and lemongrass flavors beat Häagen-Dazs

🎯 Advanced island play guide
• Private experience: Book a private sunset yacht with your butler, the instructor will take you snorkeling at coral reefs accessible only to Six Senses guests
• Cultural experience: Thai cooking classes three times a week, learn to make authentic Tom Yum and receive a certificate
• Thrilling option: The rattan net bed on the cliff edge, only the brave lie down for photos

📝 Practical notes
• Transportation: 25-minute speedboat ride from Phuket pier (hotel’s shuttle boat is very photogenic)
• Must-bring: High SPF sunscreen + mosquito repellent spray
• Hidden service: Receive a handmade palm leaf souvenir at checkout, and the butler took a Polaroid family photo for us
• Off-season offer: Book from May to October and get SPA credit, enjoy volcanic stone massage facing the sea

Really can’t praise enough this eco-friendly secret hotel, you won’t get bored even if you just lie around for three days here!
