VERIFIED LUXURY

Learn How We Inspect

Set high on a lush hillside above Kamala Beach with sweeping views of the Andaman Sea, Andara Resort & Villas looks like a “White Lotus” backdrop: opulent, private and tantalizingly luxurious. The brainchild of Hong Kong lifestyle guru Allan Zeman, the all-suite resort was designed to feel like a second home, a goal it accomplishes through a blend of mindful design and intentional service.

The boutique hotel’s residential-style accommodations, ranging from airy Terrace Suites to dramatic multi-bedroom pool villas, have generous proportions, indoor-outdoor spaces and private plunge or infinity pools that frame the ocean. Many villas come with dedicated attendants and the option of a private chef, making bespoke dining as effortless as sunrise over the water.

The resort’s cliff-top infinity pool provides a quiet counterpoint to lively Silk Restaurant & Bar, which serves a fresh take on Thai and international cuisine. For more relaxation, spa therapies draw on a blend of international techniques, while a well-equipped gym, tennis courts and yoga classes keep wellness engaging.

Our Inspector's Highlights

While Andara Resort & Villas offers a beautiful cliff-top infinity pool, many of the spacious suites and villas have their own pools overlooking the sea.
You can charter the Phuket hotel’s crewed Baglietto yacht for island hopping, snorkeling or sunset dinners, complete with on-board catering and a captain who knows the best bays.
A quick buggy ride delivers you to a private section of Kamala Beach with loungers and lunch service. Daily complimentary activities include yoga, muay Thai and aqua tai chi, so balancing lazy beach days with something active is easy.
Silk Restaurant’s seasonal Thai dishes and seafood platters draw both hotel guests and local diners, while special weekly themes (like steak night or Taste of Siam evenings) give you reasons to return.
At Andara Spa, treatments blend Thai, Javanese, Ayurvedic and Swedish techniques to cure whatever ails you. Packages pile on treatments like herbal steam, salt scrubs and detox wraps for an extended session of pampering.

The Rooms

Suites range from one to four bedrooms, most with private plunge or infinity pools facing the Andaman Sea, so you’re never far from that cinematic view.
Several Penthouse Suites add a private rooftop deck and pool, giving you that “Phuket above the clouds” vibe without leaving your doorstep.
Villas run from three to seven bedrooms with expansive terraces and dedicated villa attendants and private chefs, so meals are planned around you, not the other way around.
Interiors favor Jim Thompson silks, hardwood floors and Asian-inspired art, grounding contemporary comfort in Thai cultural touches.
Bathrooms often include indoor-outdoor showers and soaking tubs oriented to ocean views, so that even bath time can feel like a destination moment.
