f you are planning a special family gathering and you are looking
for the ideal balance between privacy and resort-style facilities in
one of the world’s most beautiful, tropical locations then be sure
to put Andara Resort & Villas on your shortlist.
This idyllic villa resort is nestled in the lush hills above Kamala Beach
on the pristine West coast of Phuket. With 26 pool villas ranging from
4 to 6 bedrooms, each with 135 sq.metre pools, larger groups have a
flexible choice. In addition each villa is staffed with both a private
butler and chef, who will attend to guests’ personal needs ensuring a
unique experience within the villa whilst the group can benefit from
the extensive and complimentary resort-wide facilities and activities.
For the adults there is a weekly timetable of gym classes, including
yoga, pilates and aerobic dance together with social tennis and ping
pong tournaments. There are also local market tours for those with
the urge to shop. Meanwhile, children can join the Kid’s Club where
they can hone their skills at batik painting, clay modelling and candle
making among the many playful activities.
Of course, if the idea of exploring the wonderful coastline and
nearby islands like Koh Phi Phi appeals, then you might consider a
full or half-day charter on Andara’s 35-metre superyacht, Celebrity.
The Italian-designed vessel takes up to 15 for a day cruise, or sleeps
8 overnight (5 cabins).
