Imagine a place where
visitors can watch baby turtles hatch on the beach, meet sea gypsies to
learn about their culture or laze on a pristine stretch of sand that is a
world away from the everyday. Wake up to a brand new Phuket with Anantara
Resort & Spa.
Situated in the serenity of Mai Khao Beach, just 15 minutes from Phuket
International Airport and a short drive from the bustling beaches of the
South, Anantara Phuket Resort & Spa will present a world of unspoilt beauty
and unexpected surprises.
Each of Anantara Phuket's 83 villas comes with its own private 33
square metre pool set either within magnificent Bill Bensley-designed
gardens with enchanting paths meandering down to the sea or by the stunning
lagoon with its radiant planting scheme, bamboo water fountains and
night-time flaming torches lighting.
Reminiscent of a southern Thai village, every villa boasts an expansive
120 square metres of living space with colourful silks, prized Thai
furniture, and a beautiful bathroom featuring an Anantara signature outdoor
'made for two' terrazzo tub that resides in perfect harmony with the
private pool.
Away from the resort, Anantara will give guests the opportunity to
explore the vibrancy of southern Thailand and see Phuket through new eyes
with a wide range of cultural experiences. A moonlight canoe trip to a
stunning lagoon glistening with the magical phosphorescence of fireflies;
the romance of a sunset cruise aboard a private fishing boat; a diving
expedition to the Similan islands to reveal the cacophony of colours and
shapes beneath the water with world-famous coral reefs; a spiritually
uplifting day working with local communities who have rebuilt their lives
in the aftermath of the tsunami; or a picnic breakfast at a rubber
plantation ahead of a busy morning learning how to harvest the precious
resource.
The acclaimed Anantara Spa is the perfect sanctuary for a journey to
inner harmony. This unique spa will be defined by the beauty and symbolism
of the lotus flower. A range of unique treatments has been devised to
reflect the influence of the lotus theme: the white lotus for cleansing and
de-stressing, the red lotus for the romance of couple's treatments and the
majestic double rose lotus to represent the stunning spa rituals.
