FULL ITINERARY

Island Escape by Burasari is a five-star island resort located on Koh Maphrao, also known as Coconut Island, just off the east coast of Phuket. Reached by a short boat transfer from the mainland, the resort offers a peaceful alternative to Phuket’s busier beach areas, with private beaches, tropical surroundings and views across the Andaman Sea.

The property combines contemporary rooms, suites and private pool villas, creating options for couples, families and guests looking for a more secluded island stay. Facilities include outdoor swimming pools, beachfront relaxation areas, restaurants, bars, fitness facilities, spa treatments and water-based activities. The resort’s setting allows guests to enjoy a sense of escape while still remaining close to Phuket Town, shopping areas and onward excursions.

Coconut Island provides a quieter atmosphere, with local fishing communities, mangroves and calm coastal scenery contributing to a more authentic island experience. Guests can relax on the beach, enjoy kayaking and water sports, or arrange trips back to Phuket for cultural visits, dining, nightlife and boat excursions to nearby islands.

Combining Burasari hospitality, modern resort facilities and a distinctive island location, Island Escape by Burasari is an appealing choice for travellers seeking privacy, comfort and easy access to Phuket without staying in the island’s busier resort zones.
