Trisara

1) A 45m Saltwater Lap Pool

At Trisara, one of Phuket’s most exclusive hideaways, every one of its pool rooms, suites and villas has a private pool, offering guests unparalleled luxury and relaxation.

The swimming pool at its sister property, Raffles Grand Hotel d’Angkor, is equally remarkable, stretching 35 metres end-to-end, making it one of the longest in Cambodia. That pool’s design is modelled after the Royal Baths at Angkor.
