“Beyond the beaten path” lies this textbook seaside resort that dots all its I’s to a tee: soft beach, hot sun and blue sea combine with charming villas, oversized beds and white sheets to create a retreat meant for relaxing, not for thinking. Aleenta probably has what you’re looking for if decompressing is the order of the day.
Palatial Pool Villas have, of course, pools, and 180 sq m with which to fill lots of other useful functions, like living and sleeping. Oceanview Lofts also have infinity pools. In every room, sunny minimalism reigns, but decor is unobtrusive enough to seem like an afterthought – possibly the hallmark of good design.
Picturesque beachside dining under the sun is the main draw of the Restaurant, which serves Thai food, all day. A more intimate option is the Chef’s Table, with room for only five couples per evening, and a menu that changes daily depending on what’s available at the market.
Aleenta Phuket – Phang Nga locates on a pristine and secluded long stretch of white sandy beach of Natai (Pilai) Beach, a short 20 minutes drive north of Phuket International Airport.
Marine Turtle Foundation
The Leatherback Marine Turtle, the world's largest living reptile, has been listed as globally endangered since 1970, and was confirmed as "Critically Endangered in Thailand" in 1996. The Turtle population is dropping quickly and dramatically. In response, Aleenta has created a Marine Turtle Foundation to support local turtle re -population, rehabilitation and education.
Aleenta employs a full time representative to work alongside the diligent staff as they tend to over 200 turtle hatchlings and rehabilitate injured turtles. The sanctuary is lucky to house all four species of Marine Turtles currently found in Thailand: the Leatherback, the Olive Ridley, the Hawksbill, and the Green Turtle.
