Why We Love This Hotel

Privacy: Andara's luxury private villas offer the ultimate in seclusion and discretion, including two members of dedicated staff (a conciege and a personal chef), private facilities and a private infinity pool. If you're looking for peace and relaxation with family and friends, then this is the place for you.

Yachts: The hotel owns two luxury yachts, which offer experiences such as special day trips and intimate on-board dinners. The yachts can be chartered for half-day or full-day trips for up to 15 people, and overnight charters cater for up to 10 people.

Location: A beach pebble's throw from Andara, Kamala Beach is one of Phuket's most beautiful stretches of sand. The waves are calm enough for stand-up paddleboarding from December to April, then provide great surfing conditions from May to November. Located on the west of the island, the sunset views from Kalama are spectacular.
