Selling Anantara Layan Phuket Resort to your clients
The resort works for three kinds of file: families, who get a kids' club and plenty to do; couples, who can take a pool villa with a Villa Host; and wellness clients, who can book a Layan Life retreat of three to ten nights. The retreat is for guests aged 16 and over, so a family can split the day between the Chang Club and the wellness centre. Our wellness tourism desk can match a programme to the client.
The short airport run makes it an easy first or last stop on a Phuket or Andaman itinerary, and our Thailand DMC transfer team handles it. For groups needing a whole house, the Layan Residences are the natural choice. See our Phuket destination guide and the other Explera partner hotels.
