Where to Stay in Layan Beach?
Layan Beach is a little-known beach in Phuket, just north of Bang Tao Beach, perfect for those looking to escape the crowds. Because it is part of the Sirinat National Park, the beach has remained pretty quiet, so there’s not much development around, at least for the moment. Layan Residences by Anantara is the only place with direct beach access, while Banyan Tree Phuket is just a bit further down at the south end. Most other hotels are set back a bit, and they are more inland.
Anantara Layan Phuket Resort
Anantara Layan Phuket Resort is a luxury resort on Layan Beach, 13.4 kilometres from Phuket International Airport. The resort combines classic Thai design with refined luxury in its elegant collection of 30 suites, 46 pool villas, and 15 pool homes.
Perched over turquoise-blue waters of the Andaman Sea, two pools of saltwater, six unique dining spots, and a five-star wellness centre and spa invite guests to experience an incredible vacation. The expansive accommodations of between 56 to 79 square meters of interior plus exterior living space exhibit refined thoughtfulness in balcony spaces, soaking tubs, showers of rain, and high-end amenities of Apple TV and Nespresso coffee makers.
