Island Escape By Burasari
Home Destinations Island Escape By Burasari
Island Escape by Burasari is a five-star island resort set on Koh Maphrao, also known as Coconut Island, just off Phuket’s east coast. Designed as a relaxed tropical escape, it combines private beaches, lush gardens, lagoons, pools and sea-facing spaces with the convenience of scheduled and private boat transfers from Phuket.
The resort is well suited to couples, families and groups who want the feeling of being away from the mainland without travelling far from Phuket. Its accommodation mix includes spacious rooms and private villas, giving travellers the choice between classic resort comfort and more secluded villa living. With all-inclusive and half-board options available, it also works well for guests who prefer a self-contained island holiday with dining, beach time, activities and relaxation close at hand.
The setting is central to the resort’s appeal. Coconut Island lies off Phuket’s quieter east coast, facing the waters and islands of Phang Nga Bay rather than the busier west-coast beach districts. This gives Island Escape by Burasari a more secluded and natural rhythm, with tropical greenery, calm coastal scenery and private beachfront areas that feel distinctly removed from mainland Phuket.
Stylistically, the resort blends contemporary island design with natural materials and relaxed Thai hospitality. Rooms and villas are dressed with organic textures, soft tones and open layouts that suit the beach and garden setting. The atmosphere is casual, tropical and restorative rather than formal, making it a strong option for travellers who want space, fresh air and a slower pace.
Accommodation includes modern rooms and a collection of private villas, with categories designed for couples, families and larger groups. Room options typically offer generous interiors, balconies or terraces, garden or sea-facing outlooks and practical comforts such as air conditioning, Wi-Fi, minibar and contemporary bathrooms. Pool access and sea-view categories add stronger resort appeal for guests who want more direct connection to the outdoor spaces.
The villa categories provide the most private and indulgent experience, with selected options offering private pools, larger living areas and layouts suitable for families or groups travelling together. These villas are especially attractive for longer stays, celebrations and guests who want the comfort of a residence combined with resort service. Across the accommodation, the emphasis is on relaxed island living, natural textures and easy access to gardens, pools or beach areas.
Dining at Island Escape by Burasari is designed to support a full island-resort stay, with restaurants and bars offering a mix of Thai, international and casual holiday flavours. Guests can enjoy easy breakfasts, relaxed lunches, poolside drinks and atmospheric dinners without needing to return to the mainland for every meal.
The availability of all-inclusive and half-board plans adds flexibility for different travel styles. Couples may prefer long, slow dinners and cocktails by the water, while families benefit from the convenience of having meals, snacks and drinks close to the beach and pools. The dining mood is informal and holiday-focused, matching the resort’s tropical island personality.
Facilities focus on beach, pools, wellness and outdoor recreation. The resort features private beaches, swimming pools, tropical gardens, spa facilities and spaces for relaxation throughout the day. Its island layout gives guests a strong sense of retreat, with plenty of room for sunbathing, walking, swimming and enjoying quieter corners away from Phuket’s busier coastline.
Activities may include water sports, family-friendly recreation, island exploration, wellness experiences and boat trips. The resort’s transfer system is also an important part of the guest experience, connecting Coconut Island with Phuket by scheduled or private boat. This allows guests to enjoy a peaceful island base while still being able to access Phuket Town, shopping, markets, marinas, cultural sights and onward excursions.
Island Escape by Burasari is located on Koh Maphrao, or Coconut Island, off the east coast of Phuket, Thailand. The island setting is reached by boat from Phuket, with the resort offering scheduled and private transfers for arrivals, departures and mainland access.
This location is ideal for travellers who want a quieter island atmosphere rather than direct access to the nightlife of Patong or the busier west-coast beach towns. Phuket Town, Laem Hin, marinas and east-coast viewpoints are accessible via the mainland transfer point, while wider excursions can include Phang Nga Bay, nearby islands, cultural sights and Phuket’s beaches. The location works best for guests who value seclusion, scenery and resort comfort over walk-out urban convenience.
