Anantara | Phuket | Ed Poole

Secluded emerald lagoons. Pool villa sunsets. Unforgettable Thai smiles.

It is the beginning of a story, of island charm and tropical beauty. Of jasmine garlands, strung by a nimble hand. Of morning dives into Andaman reefs brimming with life, and afternoons spent lounging on the deck of a private pool. Of yet another candlelit dinner shared together in paradise.

It is a story you'll live out at Anantara Phuket.

Anantara Phuket Resort and Spa is designed to be the setting for a story you'll tell forever. Located on a quiet stretch of Mai Khao Beach in Phuket's more secluded and natural northern sunset coast, Anantara's luxurious pool villas and gardens unfold over the rugged coastal landscape. The Bill Bensley-designed grounds delicately fuse the colorful tropical flora with age-old traditions of Thai architecture, providing an environment that is at once serene and yet alive with vibrant culture.

Just steps away from the emerald waters of the Andaman Sea, Anantara Phuket's 82 one-bedroom pool villas and 1 two bedroom pool villas are nestled within indigenous gardens.
