DESIGN
The unique design of Twinpalms Phuket was created by Martin Palleros, one of the top landscape architects in the Asia-Pacific region. With a brief to produce a property that has an integrated landscape which works in harmony with nature, the “Contemporary Tropical” design and landscaping incorporate a stunning, world-class water garden. The concern for the aesthetic has resulted in a beautiful and serene setting which has a modern, romantic twist - a Garden of Eden for our times. The architectural lines are fresh, clean and blend seamlessly with the environment.
A few years later the sublime penmanship of Martin Palleros was again called upon to create the 21 unique, enthralling and captivating Duplex Pool Suites and Penthouse Suites that provide effortless living and lifestyle. They are thoughtfully finished with a bold juxtaposition of strong lines and a minimalist décor to immediately catch the eye and take the breath away. The suites are complemented by the double height ceiling in the entrance hall and living room, where locally crafted works of art offer a glimpse of the cultural richness of contemporary Thailand.
 
DO NOT DISTURB
If you do not wish to be disturbed, place the red sign on the outside door handle of your rooms/suites or press Do-not-disturb button on the control panel beside your bedroom in the Duplex Suites/Penthouses Suites.

ENVIRONMENT
Reflecting the growing concern for the environment around the world, the design brief for Twinpalms Phuket stated that the project should demonstrate a forward eco-consciousness, as well as establishing and maintaining a high level of social responsibility.
