Instagram-worthy spots at The Boathouse Phuket

Going on a holiday calls for our fingers to go trigger-happy on our camera to capture moments of us in our state of happiness. If you are a self-confessed Instagram addict, then jazzing up your Instagram feed with your to-die-for vacation shots is going to be top on your list.

You don’t have to go far because at The Boathouse Phuket, we have 6 spots within the hotel that are commonly featured Instagram-worthy places where you can pose for that enviable #holiday #photo.

#1 – Outdoor Jacuzzi Pool

This is a favourite spot for that Instagram photo with its frangipani shape and mosaic-tiled bottom, flanked by The Boathouse Phuket’s signature Lana-style roof, adding a nice backdrop to your picture. Try a night shot of it for a completely different feel.

#2 – Swimming Pool

Our crescent-shaped pool sits about a meter above beach level looking out to the Andaman Sea. With the beach and blue hues of the sea as your backdrop, it’s difficult to take an ugly picture. We also have a hammock right by the pool if you’re game for a Vogue-esque photoshoot. Pro tip: hit the pool early in the morning before the crowd comes for a cleaner, less cluttered photo.

#3 – Marble Spiral Staircase

The marble spiral staircase when lighted up in the evening, exudes a romantic charm around it. This staircase is located indoor where our wine cellar and bar resides, it is also the stairway to the private dining room and outdoor rooftop bar. You definitely won’t miss it the moment you step into our restaurant!

#4 – Rooftop Bar

This outdoor rooftop bar is a favourite spot of our regular guests for pre-dinner drinks and a spot of the sunset. At sundown, our rooftop bar lights up with soft ambient lights, making it a really pretty place to lounge and take some Instagram-worthy pictures!

#5 – Ocean Suite Bathtub

Bathtubs are a wonderful treat when on a holiday, as you soak in the warm bath for a relaxing time. It also makes a great “prop” for that Instagram photo. Our Ocean Suites’ bathroom stands out with its emerald-green mosaic tiles, giving a pop of colour against the white bathtub. The next time before you go in for a soak, why not take a few photos for the gram!

#6 – View of Crab Island (Koh Puu) from Restaurant

Crab Island (or Koh Puu as it’s known in Thai) is the signature view that all guests and diners will see from The Boathouse Phuket. Sunsets over the Andaman Sea with Crab Island is easily THE most Instagrammed photo here. You cannot leave without taking a picture of this view from where you sit at the restaurant.

Special Mention: Stone Wall at the Swimming Pool
