LOCATION:
One
begins to daydream about white sandy beaches and palm trees swaying
in warm tropical breezes whilst walking down the blustery streets of
London where the landscape generally, is several shades of gray?
Andaman
White Beach Resort on Naithon Noi Beach in Phuket is the very image
of these escapades and musings. This picture perfect location was one
the sites featured in the now famous movie, ‘The Beach’.
Individual
villas are built on a gently sloping hillside that cascades down to
a fine-grained white sandy beach. The crescent shaped beach in front
of the resort is embraced by wooded promontories on either side. These
outcroppings rise steeply into mountainous terrain behind the resort,
the tall mountains being completely covered in lush tropical rainforests.
As if the setting isn’t idyllic enough, the private detached villas
at the resort face west, offering the most glorious tropical sunsets
over the Andaman Sea.
This
tranquil resort is perfect for a relaxing holiday. The General Manager,
Luciano Lazzarin asks clients if the setting is perhaps too quiet. “The
response 99.9% of the time”, says Luciano is, “this is exactly
what we were looking for”. Luciano brings with him an impressive
experience of hotel-management in the Asia-Pacific region as well as
in Europe. His previous postings include Palma de Mallorca, Spain and
The Intercontinental in Bali. SHOW

HOTEL FACILITIES & SERVICES:
The
resort has three restaurants. The Coconut Beach Bar at the swimming
pool is an excellent spot for a sundowner followed by a romantic
dinner. There is another restaurant on the hill, near the reception
area. Partially open-air and partially air-conditioned, these restaurants
offer a medley of Thai, Mediterranean and Continental cuisine.
There
is an air-conditioned gym on the same level as the swimming pool.
The gym and adjacent sauna, Jacuzzi and steam rooms are free to
guests. Beyond the sauna is Ylang Spa where the speciality is The
House of Ylang Massage. It is a sensory indulgent massage given
by two therapists working together. They use Thai, Japanese, Shiatsu,
Balinese, Hawaiian Lomi Lomi and Swedish therapies. |

ACCOMMODATION: The
resort has two types of villas, Beachfront and Seaview. Beachfront
villas are right on the beach and Seaview villas are on the hillside.
The balcony fronting each villa is designed with the concept of
ensuring total privacy. The detached villas have floor to ceiling
windows offering panoramic views of the beach, sea and tropical
gardens. The luxurious bathrooms with sunken bathtubs overlook the
Andaman Sea. The simplicity of this boutique resort, jungle on one
side and crystal clear azure blue seas on the other is “the
perfect setting for honeymooners,” says Luciano. The resort
offers a special wedding package with an authentic Thai wedding
ceremony that takes place on the beach. “Even the smallest
details are considered in order to make the event a memorable one,”
says Luciano. The future couple are met at the airport upon arrival,
are served welcome drinks in a Mercedes Benz, which transports them
to Andaman White Beach Resort. A cocktail party or a Thai style
dinner serving authentic Thai delicacies follows the ceremony.
