Anantara Layan Phuket Resort  

On Phuket’s quieter northwest coast, a luxury five-star resort perches on a lush hillside just a 2-minute walk from sandy Layan Beach. Roughly 30 minutes from Phuket Town and Patong and within about 20 km of Phuket’s historic center, this beach resort is family-friendly and perfectly placed for both chill and adventure.

Hide away in pool villas or roomy suites with spacious balconies and sea views—some rooms even open onto private plunge pools. Interiors are modern and calm, with generous seating, large beds and flat-screen TVs. Expect a mix of island-chic touches, cliffside outlooks and options for Muay Thai training or restorative spa treatments.

Two outdoor pools, a full-service spa and a well-equipped fitness center set the tone for relaxation. Hit the tennis courts, rent a bike at dawn, or get salty with windsurfing, diving, canoeing and snorkeling. 24-hour room service, free valet parking and concierge-led tours make staying easy.

A business center and meeting facilities are on-site, with complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property and a ticket-and-tour desk for easy logistics.

Dine on Thai and international dishes at the main restaurant, sip cocktails at the beach bar or poolside bar, or feast on grilled seafood in a cliffside setting with ocean views—fresh regional flavors meet stylish presentation.
