ANI Thailand is not a hotel in the usual sense: the whole estate is booked by one group at a time, with its own chef, housekeeping team, drivers and activity staff included in the rate. It stands on a cliff above the Andaman on Phuket’s west coast, with a long pool running along the edge.
It works for a multigenerational family or a group of friends traveling together, where the alternative is a scatter of separate rooms in a resort. Meals are planned with the chef rather than ordered from a menu.
