Anantara Layan Phuket Resort PHUKET, THAILAND


Anantara Layan Phuket Resort is a secluded hillside retreat overlooking one of the island’s most tranquil bays, where forested national parkland meets the calm waters of the Andaman Sea. Set along Phuket’s northwest coast, the resort offers an elegant blend of natural beauty, cultural richness and understated luxury. A short drive from the resort leads to hidden


coastal treasures such as Banana Beach, a pristine cove tucked beneath jungle cliffs, perfect for quiet relaxation and snorkelling. Further along the coastline, Nai Thon and Naiyang beaches offer peaceful stretches of sand framed by pine trees, while the neighbouring Sirinath National Park reveals biodiverse forests, mangroves and offshore coral reefs teeming with marine life. At the heart of the resort, architecture draws


inspiration from the region’s natural contours, with suites and pool villas cascading down the hillside towards the shoreline. Interiors blend Thai craftsmanship with contemporary design, using natural tones, wooden elements and hand-selected art to create a sense of relaxed sophistication.


Dining at the resort reflects Phuket’s culinary


identity — vibrant, diverse and rooted in fresh local ingredients. Signature venues include Age Restaurant, known for its dry-aged cuts and expertly curated wine list, and Dara Cuisine Phuket, where modern Thai flavours meet artisan craftsmanship and stargazing experiences beneath a custom-built celestial dome. Layan Life by Anantara stands as the resort’s


holistic wellness destination, where nature, advanced diagnostics and Traditional Thai Medicine come together to support long-term wellbeing. Blending evidence-based therapies with meditative practices, herbal rituals and mindful movement, Layan Life by Anantara offers an environment designed to nurture renewal. The resort also curates experiences, from rituals


accompanied by traditional drums to Spice Spoons cooking journeys inspired by local market produce. Families can explore the surroundings through sustainable farm activities or seek adventure at the Layan Active Zone, home to Phuket’s longest zip-line, outdoor gym and climbing wall.
