Anantara Resort Phuket is designed to be the setting for a story you'll tell forever.
 Set between the sands of sun-drenched beaches and the rolling green backdrop of verdant hills, Anantara Phuket is only a 15-minute drive from Phuket International Airport. Located on a stretch of Mai Khao Beach on the island's more secluded northern 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 83 one-bedroom pool villas are nestled within indigenous gardens of jasmine, orchids and birds of paradise. 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 featuring some of the island's local morning treats at La Sala, and sample our creative Thai-inspired tapas in the afternoon at the Tree House. As the sun sets over the Andaman Sea, select fresh seafood from the semi-open kitchen at Sea.Fire.Salt . Or, head for a tasting of Old and New World vintages in our impeccably stocked wine cellar at The Tasting Room.
Take home unforgettable stories from this inspired landscape. Charter a luxury yacht for an indulgent cruise through the mysterious limestone 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. This is your Phuket. |
