Hotel information
Nestled between the lush forests of Sirinath National Park and the sun-drenched shores of Mai Khao Beach, a visit to this spectacular resort is worth the journey for the location alone. But, this tropical beachfront resort offers so much more than the astounding natural beauty that surrounds.
Comprised of a collection of luxurious villas with a take on traditional timber-framed Thai buildings set amongst verdant gardens and lotus-filled lagoons, Anantara offers a space that feels more like a calm village than it does a resort.
Choose to spend your time soaking up the sun in the privacy of your own villa, which features a stylish indoor-outdoor living space, or take a refreshing dip in your private pool. Or, explore the resort which offers three restaurants serving gourmet global cuisine and two bar areas as well as a selection of dining experiences including Thai cooking lessons, in-villa dining or even a private candlelit dinner on the beach.
As if that weren’t enough, with a decadent spa secluded amidst the gardens, a whole new level of relaxation is at your fingertips. Opt for a classic deep tissue Thai massage alongside your partner in the couple’s treatment room, or try out a whole-day retreat where a series of soothing treatments such as a white coconut body wrap and a Thai herbal steam bath will leave you feeling rested and restored.
For more active days, Anantara also offer a variety of excursions to help you discover the tropical surroundings. From private yacht charters to windsurfing, fishing and diving, there are many different ways you can discover the Andaman Sea. Meanwhile, on land, why not try your hand at yoga, Tai Chi or Muay Thai?
Whether you like to take your holidays easy, or like to fill each moment with excitement (or both!) there’s something for you at this resort.
