Anantara Mai Khao, Phuket
Anantara Mai Khao is situated on the northern tip of Phuket, on a golden beach lined by the lush vegetation of the national park. In traditional Southern Thai village style, the accommodation is made up of water villas which are clustered around the lagoon.
During your stay you could try morning yoga or Muay Thai on the beach at dawn. Venture further afield and cruise into the horizon with a private yacht excursion.

Anantara Layan Resort, Phuket
This luxury beachfront resort is an incredible spot to unwind whether you’re traveling as a couple or with the whole family. Visit the Anantara Spa to experience a traditional healing massage to truly relax into your surroundings.
From Abby - Feast in the cliff side chapel overlooking the ocean or head to the beach to trial the many types of mojito available at the Mojito Factory, a beach bar which hosts a Happy Hour every day from 5:30-7:30pm.
Kata Rocks, Phuket
Kata Rocks Phuket has a total Ibiza vibe, perfectly blending style, serenity, signature Thai hospitality and island comfort. The Lounge and Bar features a 35 metre infinity pool and faces due west for the best views of the stunning sunset whilst sipping a cocktail or two.
From Abby – You must visit the Infinite Luxury Spa during your stay; it provides signature treatments and has won the World Luxury Spa award for the last 5 years!
Santiburi, Koh Samui
Santiburi Koh Samui is a tranquil sanctuary on the pristine shores of Koh Samui. The resort has 5 on-site restaurants, one of the largest swimming pools on Koh Samui and the unmatched hospitality means you’ll wanting for nothing during your stay here.
From Abby – Santiburi has a great Pocket Concierge app which allows you to communicate with the hotel when you’re offsite, book facilities and order in-room services, making your stay even more seamless.
Six Senses Samui
With a real rustic, ‘back-to-nature’ feel, Six Senses Samui’s private villas blend effortlessly into the landscape of the surrounding vegetation. The resort is an escape from the busy everyday life where you can laze by the vast infinity pool and switch off as you gaze out over the Gulf of Thailand.
From Abby – Join one of the twice weekly tour of their ‘Farm on the Hill’ where you can learn about their sustainability efforts, feed the animals and even gather laid eggs for your breakfast!
Samujana Villas, Koh Samui
Samujana Villas is situated on Koh Samui, one of the most enchanting island in Asia which is alive with wildlife such as turtles, monkeys and dolphins. Each of the villas has a large private infinity pool and sublime views over the sea and distant hillside. Villa 30 is the jewel in the crown of Samujana with 350 degree views allowing you to enjoy both sunrise and sunset!
From Abby – I would highly recommend a private yoga session on the rooftop of your villa with stunning views which compliment perfectly.
