Phuket’s reputation as a global wellness destination is about to reach new heights. Minor Hotels’ Layan Life by Anantara, a world-class medical wellness concept integrated within Anantara Layan Phuket Resort, is poised to open in Q3, offering a unique blend of advanced medical treatments and time-honoured Thai wellness wisdom.
Drawing on more than two decades of pioneering wellness expertise from Anantara Hotels & Resorts, Layan Life by Anantara is grounded in the four elements at the core of Thai Traditional Medicine (TTM): earth, water, wind, and fire.
Its range of three- to 10-day programmes, each created by specialist medical doctors and Thai medicinal experts, infuse this ancient wisdom with advanced medical assessments and diagnostics, tailored wellness nutrition and guided fitness. The result is a highly bespoke, full-circle approach to holistic wellbeing that spans a variety of goals such as weight management, de-stress, fitness and anti-ageing.
