Anantara Resort Phuket: Overview

Anantara Phuket Resort & Spa
(Late 2008)

It is the beginning of a story, of island charm and tropical beauty. Of jasmine garlands, strung by a nimble hand. Of morning dives into Andaman reefs brimming with life, and afternoons spent lounging on the deck of a private pool. Of yet another candlelit dinner shared together in paradise.

It is a story you'll live out at Anantara Phuket.

Opening in early October, Anantara Phuket Resort and Spa is designed to be the setting for a story you'll tell forever. Located on a quiet stretch of Mai Khao Beach in Phuket's more secluded and natural northern sunset coast, Anantara's luxurious pool villas and gardens unfold over the rugged coastal landscape. The Bill Bensley-designed grounds delicately fuse the colourful tropical flora with age-old traditions of Thai architecture, providing an environment that is at once serene and yet alive with vibrant culture.

Anantara invites you to explore a more authentic side to Phuket's natural, historic and cultural beauty. Ignite new passions, trekking through verdant forests or taking your first breaths underwater amidst untouched coral reefs. Experience the charm of Southern Thailand at Anantara Phuket.

Set between the sands of sun-blessed beaches and the rolling green backdrop of verdant hills, Anantara Phuket Resort & Spa is only a 15-minute drive from Phuket's International Airport. Based on the island's more secluded northwest coast, your private pool villa is your gateway to excursions through the lush tropical mangroves of nearby Sirinath National Park, dives into stunning coral reefs, and strolls through charming local villages.

Just steps away from the emerald waters of the Andaman Sea, Anantara Phuket's 82 one-bedroom pool villas and 1 two bedroom pool villas are nestled within indigenous gardens. Designed to recall a quaint Southern Thai-style village, the locally inspired architecture complements its natural setting, with open-air spaces and arched ceilings to take advantage of the cool sea breeze. The interiors embrace contemporary Thai design, using evocative local prints, textiles, paintings and relaxed lounge spaces

Start your morning with hearty breakfasts at our All Day Dining restaurant. Chat over lemongrass and ginger-infused cocktails at the Pool Bar. As the sun sets over the Andaman Sea, feasting on European/ Asian fusion cuisine at The Beach restaurant before moving on to admire the views from the Rooftop Bar. Or, head downstairs for a tasting of Old and New World vintages in our impeccably stocked wine cellar.

Take home unforgettable stories from this inspired landscape. Charter a luxury yacht for an indulgent cruise through the mysterious karsts of Phang Nga Bay. Explore the viewpoints and waterfalls of the island's unseen hinterlands as you chat about local culture and the island's rich history with our local guides. Natural wonders and unique cultural experiences lie at every turn during this - your most memorable - Phuket vacation

Anantara Resort Phuket: Rooms Overview

Anantara Phuket Resort's 83 Pool Villas are inspired by Thai architecture with free-flowing and expansive space, tropical woods and windows at every turn to welcome the flow of the island breeze. The interiors invite you to unwind in the indigenously inspired luxury that has come to define Anantara, while the out-of-doors, in the surrounds of your villa's own walled gardens, provide a serene place to chat, read and entertain in the open air - just as the Thais still do today. Recline on a chaise in your king or twin bedroom. Relax the afternoon away on sun beds on your hardwood deck and plunge into your private pool in blissful seclusion. Connect your iPod to the surround-sound stereo and select a bottle from your personalised wine fridge.

Pool Villa

The 13 stylish and expansive Pool Villas span 180 square metres of laid-back luxury and comfort and brim with indigenous Southern Thai artefacts. Awaken each morning in your sumptuous king-size bed and catch a glimpse of the island sun breaking through the lush garden surrounds. The vaulted ceiling in the bedroom follows the principles of Thai temple architecture, reaching towards the sky. A daybed covered with colourful silk cushions is opposite a writing desk, both providing intimate spaces for contemplation. Reflect upon Thai paintings, prints and textile wall-hangings, hand-picked to reflect the spirit of local artistic traditions. Retreat to the cool terracotta surrounds of the spacious bathroom and surround yourself with swirling scents of sandalwood aromatherapy oils and rinse under the soothing rain shower, while looking over the outdoor terrazzo tub and infinity-edge swimming pool.

Garden Pool Villa

Phuket's lush tropical vegetation is the inspiration for the brilliant multi-hued gardens nestled behind the sandstone walls of our 30 Garden Pool Villas, each offering an expansive 180 square metres of Anantara luxury. Slip into the terrazzo tub for two under the stars, adorned with your favourite flowers. Your full-sized private infinity-edge pool is just a step down from the sliding glass doors of your bed and bathroom, wrapping each villa in inviting aquamarine. The spacious open-air bathroom invites pampering, with a rain shower, porcelain bowl sinks, indigenously sourced tiles and floor-to-ceiling windows that ensure you never forget you're surrounded by island beauty. Throughout, hardwood floors, exotic carvings and plush furnishings evoke the best of Thai domestic design. In the bedroom, with either one king or two twin beds, relax amidst a colourful panorama of indigenous arts, such as woven wall tapestries and silk cushions.

Lagoon Pool Villa

Set by a placid lagoon, the 28 Lagoon Pool Villas, each 180 square metres, feature a mosaic-lined infinity-edge pool, seamlessly blending into the verdant horizon. Hardwood floors from the bedroom unfold onto sun-kissed timber decks, outfitted with sun loungers you'll never have to fight to reserve! Recline on a soft chaise while watching your favourite DVD after a rigorous afternoon diving. At sundown, transform your dining sala into the setting for a romantic evening for two with Phuket-style curries paired with adventurous Thai wines. Unwind in your freshly drawn jasmine bath after rinsing in your indoor or outdoor rain shower.

Sala Pool Villa

The 11 Sala Pool Villas, a spacious 186 square metres each, are a romantic immersion in the indigenous wonder of Phuket. Following ancient Thai building principles, sunshine pours through open windows and glass doors into the bedroom and the bathroom. Settle into a terrazzo tub, connected to the pool in the open-air freedom of the invigorating island breeze. By evening, soak in tropical ambience as you sip champagne, listen to gentle music and recline upon a silk-covered chaise.

Two Bedroom Sala Pool Villa

Elect for the ultimate comfort in our grandiose 360-square metre two-bedroom villa, inspired by a royal Thai seaside residence. Retreat to this sanctuary of free-flowing space set under a gabled roof amidst the plush and colourful surrounds of Thai textiles and fabrics. You'll feel the traditional spirit of Thailand in the master bedroom, with canopied bed and silk runners woven in a traditional Thai pattern. Unique locally-sourced art pieces, ornate furnishings and daybeds lend themselves to a relaxed afternoon. Step into two palatial bathrooms, with luxurious rain showers, warm natural light and glazed terracotta tiles. The bath chambers open onto a delightful walled garden, with wooden veranda and the centrepiece 50-square metre infinity-edge swimming pool.
