Breathing new life into the former Dewa Phuket Resort, Cachet Resort Dewa Phuket (www.cachetphuketdewa.com) is the first Thailand opening from this youthful, affordable group.

On Nai Yang Beach, backed by Sirinat National Park, Cachet is a sleek looking place dominated by black marble, polished concrete floors and deep mahogany.

The resort features over 128 rooms surrounded by forest and two big swimming pools. Rates start at B3,200/night.

When night time comes, hit the Cachet Beach Club to be entertained by local and international DJs, or the Stonehaus bar, which began life in California as a wine bar that doubles as a bakery. Other facilities include a spa, fitness room and yoga center.
