【Phuket Layan Anantara Resort】

As the top-tier resort on Layan Beach in Phuket, Layan Anantara Resort boasts a private beach and tropical coconut groves, perfectly blending Thai charm with island leisure vibes—every moment feels like being immersed in a dreamy Nanyang paradise~

🌴【Design Style】: The hotel centers around "Modern Thai Zen" as its design core. The lobby features towering wooden domes paired with cascading crystal chandeliers, while the hallways showcase Southern Thai handcrafted wood carvings and textiles. Each room comes with a private pool or terrace—sliding open the floor-to-ceiling windows reveals turquoise waters and white sand. Interiors feature rattan furniture and natural linen fabrics, with hand-painted wave patterns adorning the headboards, exuding island relaxation in every detail. Public areas are surrounded by lush tropical greenery, with pools seamlessly connecting to the beach. At sunset, sitting in a thatched cabana, you can watch the sea painted in orange-red hues.

🚌【Transport Guide】: Located on the northern side of Layan Beach, the resort is about a 25-minute drive from Phuket International Airport and 30 minutes from Karon and Kata Beaches. Nearby is the Layan Night Market (open Fridays and Saturdays), just a 10-minute walk away for convenient eats and shopping.

🏨【Check-In】: Passport and booking confirmation (digital or printed) are required. Upon arrival, staff will greet you by opening your car door and offering chilled lemongrass tea and cold towels. During check-in, you’ll also receive homemade coconut candies from the hotel.

🌊【Resort Experience】: The resort features 3 outdoor pools (including 1 children’s pool) and offers bookable water activities like jet skiing and sailing (additional fees apply). The spa, nestled deep in the coconut grove, is a must-try—opt for the "Ocean Therapy Massage" using sea salt and coconut oil, followed by coconut jelly in the relaxation area. Free morning yoga sessions (on the beach or lawn) and evening Thai cooking classes (advance booking required; learn to make tom yum soup) are available daily.

🍴【Dining Highlights】: The resort has 3 unique restaurants. The beachfront grill specializes in seafood BBQ, where you can enjoy freshly grilled lobster while watching the waves. The Thai restaurant offers a "Royal Set Menu," featuring signature dishes like gold-leaf-adorned mango sticky rice and traditional curry crab. There’s also a Mediterranean restaurant serving Spanish paella and handmade Italian pizza. Breakfast is a lavish buffet with made-to-order eggs Benedict, Thai noodle soup, and even live lobster cooking (request in advance).

💴【Average Cost】: Prices vary by season and room type—contact a travel specialist to help you book!

🧡【Tips】: The resort provides free beach towels and snorkeling gear (pick up at the front desk before heading out). The in-room minibar (with complimentary drinks and snacks) is restocked daily. Be cautious when strolling the beach after 6 PM—you might spot little crabs crossing your path! For stunning ocean photos, the softest light is between 7 AM and 9 AM when the beach is least crowded.
