Layan Life by Anantara: Wellness retreats in Thailand

Layan Life by Anantara, nestled within the Anantara Layan Phuket Resort, offers a journey towards holistic wellness. In line with the cherished Thai heritage of Anantara, Layan Life grounds its wellness approach in the four elements of traditional medicine: earth, water, wind, and fire. This unique wellness center, with its approach called the “Life Method,” invites you to explore a multitude of wellness dimensions to restore balance and vitality. Discover traditional Thai treatments combined with advanced modern therapies, as well as comprehensive retreats. The Layan Life by Anantara center is the perfect place to escape daily life and rejuvenate in the heart of tropical Thailand.

Tranquility in Phuket in a dream setting

Welcome to the heart of a tropical forest bordered by the turquoise waters of the Andaman Sea! Layan Life by Anantara is located within the luxurious Layan Phuket Resort, near Layan Beach, a peaceful and preserved beach. It is renowned for its relaxed atmosphere and idyllic setting. However, it is notably far from the hustle and bustle of the island’s most popular beaches. The establishment is located 30 minutes from Phuket town, 35 minutes from Patong Beach, and about 14 km from Phuket International Airport.

The architecture of this 5-star resort combines the authentic charm of traditional Thailand with contemporary refinement. The clean lines and wooden materials highlight the delicate aesthetics of the resort, while perfectly integrating into the tropical setting. The complex is spacious and airy, with vast spaces, extensive tropical gardens, greenery-lined pathways, and generously open common areas. This design allows for full enjoyment of the outdoors without ever feeling confined.

Beautiful suites, villas, and residences

The accommodations offer a variety of luxurious and well-thought-out configurations. The interiors blend modern design with authentic Thai accents, such as handcrafted decorative items and traditional textiles. The large bay windows and private terraces invite you to fully enjoy the spectacular views of the sea or lush gardens.

The rooms include a smart TV, a Nespresso machine, and a furnished balcony or terrace. The suites offer breathtaking panoramas, while the chic villas, ranging from one to several bedrooms, feature private pools. These are surrounded by gardens or have direct sea views. Most villas also provide the luxury of an outdoor bathtub or shower, perfect for connecting with Mother Nature.

The villas, some with direct beach access, range from 100 to 485 m²! Finally, the Layan Residences with two floors and sea views include VIP services such as a butler or private dining and spa options. An ultra-premium experience for those seeking absolute privacy and exclusive amenities.

Layan Life by Anantara, the “Life Method”

Wellness is at the heart of the experience at Layan Life by Anantara, thanks to a holistic and personalized approach that encompasses physical, mental, and spiritual health. The hotel relies on natural elements — earth, water, air, and fire to promote harmonious balance.

The wellness concept is based on four pillars:

  1. Longevity Medicine: Uses advanced diagnostics to identify the specific needs of each guest and offers targeted treatments to promote vitality and graceful aging.
  2. Traditional Thai Medicine: Relies on ancient healing methods, including herbs, massages, and spirituality, to balance the energies of the body and mind.
  3. Complementary Medicine: Integrates holistic therapies such as cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and hydrotherapy for overall well-being.
  4. Lifestyle Medicine: Encourages healthy lifestyle habits with practices focused on nutrition, sleep, movement, stress management, and social connections.

Advanced medical treatments

The Layan Life center (of 1767m²!) is designed to offer a comprehensive experience: its upper level houses consultation spaces and rooms for advanced medical treatments, while the lower level is dedicated to relaxation and movement activities, with yoga studios, Pilates, and meditation spaces.

In addition to non-invasive aesthetic treatments and body therapies, Layan Life offers physiotherapy consultations and cutting-edge medical treatments. Among the available options are internal therapies such as colon hydrotherapy and bio-harmonization treatments. For example, IV vitamin therapy provides an immediate supply of essential nutrients, allowing the body to regenerate deeply. Cryotherapy, on the other hand, helps reduce inflammation, stimulates the immune system, and accelerates recovery.

The Anantara Spa

Within the Spa, a hydrotherapy area equipped with saunas, steam rooms, and revitalizing pools enhances the experience. You will also find Himalayan salt saunas and a vitality pool with massage jets.

Additionally, Layan Life offers unique signature treatments. For example, the Shell and Plant Treatment uses warm shells and a plant poultice to soothe muscle pain and revitalize the skin. The Exclusive Layan Orchid Ritual invites you to a luxurious moment of relaxation with an orchid bath and a Thai herbal massage, accompanied by a nourishing coconut oil hair treatment. Finally, the Layan Bamboo Retreat offers a heated bamboo stick massage to release tension and purify the body, followed by a lifting treatment for a radiant complexion. These rituals blend local traditions and modern techniques for complete and soothing well-being.

The center’s modern facilities include a spacious fitness room with Technogym equipment and a Muay Thai ring, the legendary Thai sport. You can also practice Qi Gong, Tai Chi, and of course yoga (to try: hermit Thai yoga!). Climbing enthusiasts will also find joy with indoor/outdoor climbing walls. Additionally, nature adventures such as hiking, biking, or zip-lining are available.
