- Anantara layan Phuket Resort

Set in the northern part of Phuket, this holiday resort places its guests at just a 30-minute drive from Phuket town and the world famous Patong beach. The elegant property sits a 2-minute walk from the sandy Layan Beach and offers elegant villas and rooms that feature spacious balconies with sea views. The beautifully-appointed units also come with spacious beds, flat-screen TVs and generous seating areas, some even open to private pools. Guests of the hotel who require some “me” time can head to the excellent spa and treat themselves to a massage or any of the other rejuvenating beauty treatments. Those most active guests can use the fitness centre or opt for any of the outdoor activities such as Windsurfing, Diving, Canoeing or snorkelling. Bike rentals are available for those who want to enjoy a leisurely ride at dawn. The in-house restaurant serves delicious Thai and international dishes (HBD)
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Amazing experience for our family, the children enjoyed a lot! Gym, spa, pool and villas 10/10
Awesome experience in the resort, enjoyed the sunshine and good view here
The staff and overall resort experience is second to none at Anantara Layan. This was my second trip this year to the resort and certainly will not be my last. The staff is attentive, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. The room is amazing and the amenities are out of this world.
100 out of 10. This is our first stay at Anantara brand and now I am thinking to myself why we have not been here earlier. I was attracted here by their new wellness center which turns out even better than my expectation from the treatments, staff, and facilities / hardware. From arriving ops manager Pooky took care of us and accommodate our early check in and check out request (low season) so we could feel relaxed straight away after long travel, she has done incredible job explaining resorts features and must try items and all are true, staffs are kinds, caring, happy to service, love to stop by for a nice chat with my you g daughter, kind kids club staffs, great spread of breakfast which also showcase local fruits and high quality ingredients (bakery department is top notch). Buggy and bellboys are courteous and friendly and prompt!
Layan life facility is everything I was dreaming Science + Hollistics + resort feel and kind staffs. It is as perfect as it gets and I am already planning to come back soon for more treatment and even longer stay. I have not seen such high technology in resort well ness center which is also effective. I had consuls with dr and tried HBOT, Thai cupping, Physio (incredible Sarah got rid of my back long lasting back pain in one session with schock wave therapy, facials and IV drip by gentle and effective nurse. I feel recharged and healed and super excited about coming back again.
One thing I think resort can do better is perhaps marketing pictures… somehow i had thought facilities and room are not my type as they look traditional and i had thought maybe facilities would not be as good as it is but when I get here I could see I judged wrongly. This is a place that looks and feels better than the photos, vibes is great and energy is 10 out of 10. Gotta commend the gardeners who keep properties in top shape even though its in lush jungle setting.
Thank you to the team at Anantara Layan and we will see u again soon.
We just spent a few days at Anantara Layan Phuket and really loved it.
What I liked most is the mix - it’s a beautiful, high-end luxury hotel, but it also has a very relaxed, almost retreat-like feeling.
The rooms are huge, everything feels new and well designed, and every night there was a little surprise waiting for us in the room. Small thing, but it makes a difference.
The service was excellent throughout. Prince and Nook took amazing care of us on the beach during the entire stay, and Thay from the shuttle service was incredibly accommodating and helpful every time we needed a ride around the resort. These are the people who really make a hotel experience memorable.
Breakfast is also great - a rich buffet, plus an à la carte menu where you can order whatever you feel like.
One of the most interesting parts of the stay was Dara Longevity Center. We tried the 3D body scan and also did a sound healing session with Kedar, a spiritual healer, which was a completely different experience and something you don’t normally get as part of a hotel stay. The massages were also really great experience.
And of course, one of the big advantages is the beach. Direct access to a sandy beach and access to the sea, which is not something every hotel in Phuket has.
So overall, it really gave us a bit of everything: luxury, beach, wellness and some time to reset.
We had an amazing time.
