The lobby of the hotel is very impressive because of its excessive size. The space is round-shaped and very elegantly decorated. Balinese-style sofas as well as big jars are installed at the entrance. In the middle of the place, open on a luxuriant garden, there is a big floral decoration overhang by a wicker chandelier. On the left, the reception is marked by a large marble desk, also decorated with fresh flowers.
The establishment offers three swimming pools all integrated in a luxuriant vegetation. They perfectly blend with the decoration. Balinese massage rooms are installed next to the main swimming pool. A swimming pool is dedicated to children. In addition, the hotel disposes of the biggest children club on Phuket island. It is very well equipped and all kind of activites are offered to children so that they can spend unforgettable holidays!
The Movenpick has a beautiful spa situated in the garden. There are seven treatment rooms equipped with a basin and an external shower.

Three restaurants are available at the Movenpick: the Restaurant Pacifica offers the choice of having your meal indoor or outdoor. It works as a buffet for breakfast and offers a Thai and international a la carte cuisine for lunch and dinner. The Wildfire Restaurant also serves western and Asian specialities. The place offers a beautiful view of the sunset. It especially offers grilled food, but also pizza and seafood. The Sandbar is specialised in pizza, but this time cooked over a wood fire. To quench your thirst, three bars are available: the pool's bar (which offers also plates of fresh fruits), the Kinnaree (composed of large sofas) as well as the Cafe studio, a good place for the gourmands (a selection of cakes, sugary desserts...).
