The former Indigo Pearl's 2007 industrial design concept—rusted corrugated panels, mining machinery repurposed as sculpture, a dark material palette of blackened steel and weathered timber—draws on Phuket's tin mining heritage to produce the island's most architecturally distinctive resort, the remote Naithon Beach location keeping it away from the southern circuit's crowds.
