This highly romantic resort, set between idyllic mountains and crystal-clear sea, boasts modern architecture infused with the tones and textures of traditional Thai design. Suites and villas contain luxurious features such as expansive terraces, private gardens, infinity pools and panoramic beachfront vistas, all enclosed within high wooden walls to ensure maximum privacy.
Tucked away on the north-eastern coastline of Koh Phangan, the Rasananda is encircled by tropical gardens and just steps away from a short stretch of pristine beach. The hotel restaurant, ‘Bistro @ The Beach’ provides a mix of al-fresco and covered dining, blending local techniques with modern culinary trends to produce a uniquely Thai menu.

Places to combine Anantara Rasananda with
Phuket
Tucked away on the fringes of Khao Sok National Park, one of Thailand’s most ancient and biodiverse rainforests, Thanyamundra Organic Resort offers an intimate sanctuary with nine guestrooms. The setting is mesmerising: a patchwork of cultivated organic farmland gently gives way to dense jungle, while mist drifts across rolling emerald hills in the early morning.
Two teakwood residences, built in traditional Thai style, house the guest rooms. Within, antique furnishings add a sense of heritage and handwoven textiles bring warmth and colour.
Begin with yoga at dawn or a leisurely walk among rice paddies and vegetable gardens, before setting out to discover the wonders of the rainforest. Back at the resort, the infinity pool seemingly spills into the surrounding hills. From here, the horizon becomes a living panorama of forest, farmland and sky, shifting in colour as the day passes from morning to the glow of sunset. The spa provides another form of retreat, where traditional Thai treatments restore balance after a day outdoors.
Food is at the heart of the Thanyamundra experience. The resort’s organic farm supplies the kitchen with fragrant herbs, just-picked vegetables, tropical fruit and locally produced cheese. Meals, whether enjoyed in the open-sided pavilion or al fresco under the stars, are thoughtfully prepared to highlight the freshest seasonal ingredients.
