The nearest transport hub is Phuket Bus Terminal 2, which is a station you can reach by taxi or ride-hailing. From there, continue to the resort on Millionaire's Mile above Kamala Bay. A pre-booked transfer or a taxi from the airport is the most direct way, as the resort is on a hillside. The hotel also offers an airport shuttle service, which you can arrange in advance.
In the evening, you can stay at the resort and enjoy the sunset from The Ayara Parlour, our 360-degree glass and wood sunset bar, or have a drink at the Lobby bar or Bar.
