I’m sweltering in Sydney today. It’s over 40 degrees Celsius outside and my air conditioner is struggling to keep up. While I am lucky enough to have a pool in my backyard, I couldn’t help thinking about the gorgeous main pool at the Pullman Phuket Arcadia today.

Tiled in swirling shades of turquoise, aqua and blue it is the most inviting pool I have ever seen, even when the weather is grey and overcast. The turquoise colour is carried through into the furnishings too. And how inviting are those chairs right in the pool!

Watch out for an upcoming story on the Pullman Phuket Arcadia in News Corp’s Escape travel liftout.  Happy Friday and keep cool.
