Anantara Phuket Layan Resort & Spa

The resort affords guests maximum peace and quiet—the island’s overcrowded southern beaches and city center are a 35-minute drive away. There are 77 luxe suites and villas to choose from, including a 485 sq. m. Anantara Pool Villa, which can accommodate up to six persons and provides direct beach access.

Each room is appointed with quality contemporary furnishings, like an iPod docking station, Apple television (through which you can stream videos and movies from your Apple devices), a Nespresso machine and even a selection of books for leisure reading. Plus, if you opt for a villa, you’ll get your very own private pool, as well as 24/7 Villa Host butler service. Moreover, the resort also features a fitness center, yoga classes, boutique gift shop and a library with books, films and iPads.
