When you say Phuket, Thailand, you think about white beaches, island hopping, and a sun-soaked vacation. Now, Anantara Layan Phuket Resort gives a brand new meaning to a Phuket holiday. Through the opening of Layan Life by Anantara, a family-friendly beachside paradise on this side of the globe also equates to holistic wellness. With the fusion of cutting-edge technology and ancient Thai healing traditions, Layan Life offers customized bespoke programs using the ‘Whole of Life’ approach to wellness that celebrates key life stages.
A Reimagined Phuket Getaway
Nestled within a 1,767sqm biophilic-designed sanctuary and set at the exquisite backdrop of the Andaman Sea, the resort is curated for guests to maximize the innate healing power of nature. Visitors can immerse in the calming power of the tropical gardens and pristine beaches, which is part of the unique wellness journey being offered by Layan Life.
Tradition Meets Innovation
A brilliant blend of tradition and modernity, the Layan Life programs are developed by medical doctors and Thai medicine practitioners. Guided by both science and ancient wisdom, the program is expected to produce optimal results in terms of identifying the appropriate interventions and treatments for different health goals. The full-circle approach encompasses the use of advanced medical facilities, tailored wellness nutrition and guided fitness. Layan Life is primarily anchored in the concept of the elemental journey through the elements of nature – earth (din), water (nam), wind (low) and fire (fai).
The Life Method and Personalized Wellness
The Layan Life journey begins with a comprehensive wellness consultation followed by a diagnostic check-up. A roster of medical experts, Thai medicine specialists and physiotherapists will then analyze the results which will be the basis of the personalized program using the Life Method. The Life Method is founded on the four key pillars of health and happiness: Longevity Medicine, Traditional Thai Medicine (TTM), Complementary Medicine, and Lifestyle Medicine.
State-of-the-Art Wellness Facilities
Layan Life’s building is a blissful paradise, designed to align with nature’s touch. It has a gym, yoga and Pilates studio with state-of-the-art equipment. There are also meditation rooms, a hydrotherapy area with vitality pools, saunas, and steam room. Medical rooms for physiotherapy, TTM, aesthetic treatments, IV procedures and medical treatments including an ice-pod, hyperbaric chamber, and hydro colonic therapies are also available.
Adventures and Activities for All Ages
Whether you are coming in solo, with a group of friends or your family, you can select the wellness experience and adventures that you want to engage in. The Active Zone houses tennis courts, a Muay Thai ring, a climbing wall and archery, and the Outdoor Fitness area. It offers activities such as ziplining, mountain biking and a beach bootcamp, as well as a selection of water sports including kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and windsurfing.

Food for Life: Nutrition as a Core Element
