AQUELLA: A NEW STANDARD FOR THAI GOLF

Bold in design and rich in atmosphere, Aquella offers a modern take on coastal golf in the heart of Phang Nga.

Situated approximately 45-50 minutes north of Phuket International Airport, Aquella occupies a relatively tranquil stretch of coastline compared to the busier resort areas further south. The journey itself becomes part of the experience, transitioning from the energy of Phuket into the quieter, more natural surroundings of Phang Nga province.

Set along the unspoiled coastline of Phang Nga, just north of Phuket, Aquella Golf & Country Club signals a new era for destination golf in Southeast Asia— blending championship architecture, refined resort living and a spectacular natural setting. Reborn on the footprint of the former Thai Muang Golf Club and unveiled in 2021, Aquella is far more than an upgrade; it is a complete transformation, evolving a traditional layout into one of Thailand’ s most contemporary and visually compelling golf experiences.
From the moment you arrive, the sense of space and tranquillity is striking. Unlike many of Phuket’ s more condensed, junglelined courses, Aquella embraces an open, coastal identity. The Andaman Sea runs alongside the property, while distant mountains frame the inland horizon, creating a setting that feels expansive, calm and distinctly different from the typical Thai golf experience. This is golf by the ocean, but with a contemporary, almost links-like character, wide vistas, rolling terrain and everpresent sea breezes shaping the round.
