Barceló Coconut Island Resort
About this hotel
Located just off the east coast of Phuket on the private Koh Maprao, Barceló Coconut Island Resort trades the frenetic pace of mainland Thailand for the quiet rhythm of island life. The resort occupies a prime position overlooking the limestone karsts of Phang Nga Bay, accessible via a short, complimentary boat transfer. This is a sanctuary for those who value separation from the tourist trail without forgoing convenience. The atmosphere is one of relaxed seclusion, characterised by sprawling tropical gardens and panoramic bay views. Accommodations are expansive, moving from well-appointed Deluxe Suites to private pool villas, making the property an adaptable choice for both couples seeking a quiet retreat and families looking for a contained, all-inclusive environment. Life here revolves around the waterfront. Guests typically spend days moving between the three swimming pools or engaging in watersports directly from the beach. For those prioritising downtime, the Spa & Wellness Centre offers a dedicated space for rejuvenation away from the sun. Dining is centred around three distinct venues: Koko, Kabang, which specialises in Asian flavours, and the more informal Laku Beach Club, which serves as the social hub throughout the day. Whether you are navigating the bay by kayak or retreating to a 2-bedroom villa with a private pool, the resort succeeds by leveraging its isolated geography while ensuring every essential is catered to under its all-inclusive programme. It offers a rare blend: the privacy of a remote island with the full infrastructure of a five-star resort.
Why we love it
Private Island Seclusion
The resort’s location on Koh Maprao provides a distinct sense of seclusion from Phuket. Despite occupying a private island, it remains practical, accessible via a short boat crossing. This isolation is the resort's primary defining feature, offering a tranquil base with views across the distinctive limestone scenery of Phang Nga Bay.
Convenient All-Inclusive Planning
The all-inclusive package simplifies your stay, covering your meals and essential services. This allows for a more relaxed itinerary, removing the need to manage dining costs or travel off-island for basics. It is particularly beneficial for families or those looking to settle into the resort without external planning.
Spacious Villas and Suites
Accommodation is notably spacious, catering to different group sizes. Entry-level Deluxe Suites provide ample room, while the Lux 2 Bedroom Sea View Pool Villas offer rare privacy and direct access to your own pool. For guests prioritising outdoor living, the Outdoor Jacuzzi Suites offer an additional layer of comfort.
Three Swimming Pools
With three swimming pools throughout the grounds, there is plenty of room to swim or lounge without feeling crowded. The presence of the Laku Beach Club provides a specific focal point for afternoons by the water, offering a contrast to the quieter zones found near the guest suites.
Activities for Everyone
The resort is well-equipped for active guests, with on-site watersports allowing you to explore the coastline of Koh Maprao at your own pace. For families travelling with children, the dedicated Kids’ Club provides structured activities, ensuring younger guests are entertained while allowing parents time at the Spa & Wellness Centre.
Varied Dining Options
Dining is varied, divided between Koko, Kabang for Asian cuisine, and the Laku Beach Club. Having three distinct venues ensures you have options throughout your stay, ranging from casual beachside lunch settings to more focused dinner menus, all without needing to leave the island property.
