- About 30 minutes from Phuket International Airport.
Grand Hotel Tremezzo
- Private transfers (via helicopter, private boat, or chauffeured vehicle) coordinate directly with resort concierges.
- Bespoke equestrian rides, truffle hunting, and private wine cellar tastings are pre-arranged with your host.
- Pack elegant smart casual evening attire and comfortable footwear for exploring historic stone grounds.
