InterContinental Phuket Resort Welcomes the Festive Season with The Garden of Devas

Set on Kamala Beach, the resort brings together festive dining, family celebrations and wellbeing, culminating in a spectacular welcome to 2027.

PHUKET, THAILAND, October 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — This festive season, InterContinental Phuket Resort invites guests to discover The Garden of Devas, a celebration inspired by the heavenly realm of Traibhumikatha, the ancient Thai epic that shapes the resort’s distinctive identity. Set between the lush hills of Kamala and the shores of the Andaman Sea, the resort brings the spirit of the season to life through festive dining, family experiences and moments of relaxation, culminating in a spectacular welcome to 2027.

“The festive season is one of the most cherished times of the year, and we are deeply honoured that our guests choose to spend it with us. Inspired by the celestial realm of Traibhumikatha, The Garden of Devas is our invitation to step into a world of wonder, where Thai heritage, heavenly beauty and heartfelt hospitality come together. Every detail, from the festive table to the final countdown, has been thoughtfully crafted to create memories that our guests will treasure long after the season ends” says Bjorn Courage, General Manager of InterContinental Phuket Resort.

Christmas Eve offers guests a choice of two distinctive dining experiences. At Pinto, a generous international buffet and sharing-style dinner brings family and friends together over a selection of international favourites. Dinner is priced at THB 5,450++ per adult and THB 2,950++ per child aged 4–11, with beverage packages available to complement the occasion.

For a more intimate evening, hom, recognised by both the MICHELIN Guide restaurant and 50 Best Discovery, presents an innovative nine-moment fine dining experience. Priced at THB 5,950++ per person, the menu offers a refined way to celebrate Christmas Eve, with wine pairing available for guests wishing to complement their dining journey.

On Christmas Day, a sharing-style brunch invites families to gather from 12:00 to 15:00 hrs, with a choice of settings across the restaurant, pool terrace and beachfront. Food-only price starts at THB 4,520++ per person, with beverage packages available from THB 1,850++ per person for soft drinks, juices and water, THB 3,250++ for wine, beer, soft drinks, juices and water, or THB 4,950++ for champagne, wine, beer, soft drinks, juices and water. DJ entertainment, live acts and activities for children add to the occasion, creating an afternoon for guests of all generations to enjoy together.

Welcoming 2027 by the Sea
As the year draws to a close, New Year’s Eve brings the resort’s festive celebrations to the beachfront. A gala dinner featuring a lavish shared menu, live band and DJ sets the scene for an evening of dining and entertainment, with celebrations continuing from 19:00 hrs. until 01:00 hrs.

As the countdown to 2027 begins and the final seconds of the year slip away, all eyes turn to the Andaman Sea. On the stroke of midnight, Phuket’s most ambitious New Year fireworks display erupts from the water directly in front of the resort, painting the sky above Kamala Bay in cascades of gold, crimson and light. It is a celestial finale worthy of The Garden of Devas, and a sight guests will remember long after the last spark fades into the sea.

For those who prefer a more intimate celebration, hom will also present a nine-moment New Year’s Eve dining experience, priced at THB 19,500++ per person with beverage pairing. The experience includes access to the beachfront fireworks, allowing guests to enjoy the countdown as part of an evening centered on fine dining.

The celebrations extend beyond the dining table with Planet Trekkers, the resort’s dedicated children’s programme. Younger guests can discover the season through creative workshops, arts and crafts, games and festive activities inspired by Christmas and New Year traditions. These experiences give children the opportunity to explore and celebrate in their own way, while families enjoy time together throughout the holiday period.

For guests seeking a quieter moment amid the celebrations, Sati Spa introduces the Festive Elements Journey, a signature two-hour experience designed to restore balance and awaken the senses. Beginning with a 30-minute aromatherapy bath, the ritual continues with a choice of Four Elements Massage inspired by Earth, Water, Fire or Air, tailored to each guest’s desired state of wellbeing. An exclusive take-home aroma set completes the experience, extending the sense of calm beyond the spa. Available from December 2026 to January 2027, the experience is priced at THB 4,999++ for one guest or THB 8,999++ for two guests.

With festive dates at the resort traditionally among the first to fill, guests are encouraged to secure their celebration early. Those who book and pay by 31 October 2026 will enjoy an exclusive 20% off the festive programme, while bookings confirmed by 30 November 2026 will receive 10% off. Availability is limited, and the most coveted tables and front-row views of the midnight fireworks are expected to go quickly.

This festive season, there is only one place to be. At InterContinental Phuket Resort, The Garden of Devas weaves the magic of the season into the resort’s own story, where Thai heritage, heartfelt hospitality and the natural beauty of Kamala Beach come together as one. From candlelit Christmas feasts shared with loved ones to the final countdown beneath a sky ablaze with fireworks over the Andaman Sea, every moment is designed to be lived fully and remembered always. For those seeking a celebration as extraordinary as the year it closes, the gates to The Garden of Devas are now open.
