Facilities

The most outstanding facility at this Anantara resort is its spa. This award-winning centre of relaxation and health is surrounded by slate and bamboo walls and spans over 3,000sqm in verdant, peaceful grounds. You’re never far from running water here and the sound of it provides a pleasant backdrop for the Ayurvedic treatments on offer.

Open from 10:00 – 22:00, guests can enjoy a wide range of treatments in glass-walled, air-conditioned rooms with bamboo-lined exterior walls, private al-fresco soaking tubs, world-class therapists, and a full range of award-winning Elemis spa products. The spa at Anantara Bophut Resort is the jewel in the resort’s crown.

Other facilities include four distinctive food and beverage outlets, an especially noteworthy breakfast buffet rich in health-conscious choices, a 30-metre shoreline infinity pool, a library packed with classics and modern editions in several languages as well as high-speed internet access, several choices of business meeting arrangements, wedding packages, childcare services, a tennis court, Thai cooking classes, beach yoga and reiki, water sports facilities including sailing, windsurfing and snorkelling and a modern fitness centre.

Verdict

Anantara Bophut Resort & Spa is outstanding in several areas. As mentioned, the spa has deservedly won several awards, the resort’s cuisine is in extremely able hands, the décor is simply gorgeous and its location on Bophut Beach is nothing short of idyllic. This five-star property’s reputation precedes it and justifiably so. There is no corporate coldness here and the heady mix of Thai hospitality with top-rate execution results in a resort that manages a symbiosis of excellent organisation and design along with a downright homely feel.

Hotel is Great For:

• World-class spa
• Excellent food and beverage outlets
• Seaside location
• Attractive layout and well-designed atmospheric gardens
• Strolling access to Bophut Fisherman’s Village

Not so Good For:

• Instant access to Chaweng’s nightlife (but still only a 10-minute drive)
