Island Escape Burasari

Island Escape Burasari brings a residential feel to Phuket’s quieter Koh Kaew district, away from the tourist crowds of Patong but still accessible to the island’s main attractions. This 5-star property sits in Tambon Koh Kaew, giving you a more authentic slice of Phuket life while maintaining the luxury amenities you’d expect from a high-end resort.

What makes Burasari stand out is the kitchen facilities in rooms - rare for Phuket hotels at this level. You can actually cook your own meals using fresh ingredients from local markets, which is perfect for longer stays or families wanting more dining flexibility. The property also emphasizes its outdoor spaces and views, capitalizing on Phuket’s year-round tropical climate. The living areas are designed for genuine relaxation rather than just quick overnight stops.

Insider Tip: Book rooms with kitchen access if you’re staying more than a few nights. Hit the local markets in Koh Kaew for fresh seafood and tropical fruits - you’ll save money and eat better than many resort restaurants.

Families and longer-stay travelers will love this setup, especially with the strong family-friendly facilities and room layouts that actually give you space to spread out. The 8.2/10 Booking.com rating reflects solid execution rather than groundbreaking luxury - this isn’t trying to be the flashiest resort on the island. The 5-star rating sets expectations for service and amenities, though you’re trading beachfront location for space, value, and local immersion.

Burasari positions itself in the sweet spot for 5-star properties - luxury amenities without the premium beachfront prices you’d pay in Patong or Kata. The Koh Kaew location means you’ll need to plan transport to Phuket’s famous beaches, but you’re getting significantly more space and local character for your money. Standard check-in runs until midnight, accommodating late arrivals common with international flights.
