DESIGN CONCEPT
Architecture inspired by Phuket's tin mining past. Décor that evokes a Thai factory of a century ago. Thailand’s premier beach resort is a wonder all its own.

Sleekly polished cement floors. Blackened stainless steel laden with brass rivets. Balanced is achieved with the softness of raw Thai silk and exquisite floral art.

Exposed wooden beams. Punka Wolla fans. Wire-framed mirrors. Smoked glass. Overhead rain baths. This designer resort delivers an ambience not found anywhere on Phuket.

The landscape? Nothing less than a postmodern transformation of a mature plantation, spiced with modern sculpture and found industrial art. From your first step onto the grounds of Indigo Pearl to your last, you are immersed in one of the world’s most unique and awe-inspiring resort experiences.

Silvery blue palms, light blue plumbago (blue jasmine) bushes, the sharp sword-like leaves of mother-in-law's tongue populate the grounds. Gates of antique iron dot the landscape near the entrances of pocket gardens, each offering their own unique character.

Architect. Interior designer. Landscaper designer. Bill Bensley is the founder and head of Bensley Design Studios.
