What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Wallpaper* and AFAR.
Even the simplest room feels palatial with its high vaulted ceilings, terrazzo-tiled tub, and elegant teak paneling…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Directly on the shallow waters of Layan Beach, the grounds border Sirinat National Park along Phuket's quieter northwestern coastline.
The rooms
High vaulted ceilings and terrazzo soaking tubs frame the villas, while hillside pavilions open onto panoramic verandas and timber sundecks.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The beachfront infinity pool stretches along the sand, looking straight out over the calm waters of the bay.
The spa
Couples suites have oval soaking tubs facing the bay, and treatments draw on herbal compresses and heated seashells.
The wellness pavilion and gym
The biophilic timber pavilion houses cellular diagnostics and vitality pools, and the gym looks straight into tropical greenery.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Dara Cuisine serves regional Thai recipes under a stargazing telescope, and AGE cuts dry-aged meats beside the wine cellar.
All accommodations, a mixture of luxury rooms, suites and pool villas, blend contemporary design with a celebration of both the surrounding environment and local culture...
How it began
Indonesian designer Jaya Ibrahim shaped the 15 tiered hillside residences as a final masterwork, framing them with Burmese teak.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
