Detour
The Boathouse Hotel in Phuket could almost be considered a restaurant with rooms. Consider this: it features just 36 guestrooms but more than 300 labels on its wine list, deemed Thailand's finest by Wine Spectator magazine. Set on a stunning cove at Kata Beach since 1989, it is an intimate oasis of tranquillity for food-loving visitors who come for its beachside restaurant and weekend cooking classes ($48 per student, including lunch) with the executive chef. There's cultural nourishment too, with an art gallery, monthly literary readings and music at sunset. Rooms are $165 to $347 until Oct. 31; for details call 66-76-330015 or get a taste at www.theboathousephuket.com.
