Opened in 2014, Anantara Layan Phuket Resort is a lush hill and seaside resort overlooking the beautiful Layan Beach on the western coast of Phuket. A blend of the old and the new, the resort manages to encapsulate modern chic while keeping the traditions of Thai hospitality. Rooms are designed with modern architecture and paintings while still utilizing wood tones and oriental patterns.
