At Layan Life, the joy of choice is a foundational principle. Guests can explore a variety of wellness experiences, including engaging activities and adventures with friends and family or solo retreats for those seeking rest and rejuvenation. What sets Layan Life apart is its inclusivity.
Families are warmly welcomed at Anantara Layan Resort, and there are plenty of activities to keep children entertained while parents focus on their wellness goals. With dedicated Kids Zones, beach and water sports, and a variety of adventures in the Active Zone.
The Layan Life journey begins with a comprehensive wellness consultation followed by a diagnostic check-up including epigenetic testing and advanced physiotherapy with 3D body scans to unearth a true blueprint of health. Results are analysed by an expert team of medical professionals, Thai Medicine doctors and physiotherapists who then curate bespoke programmes using the Life Method which integrates four key pillars of wellness: Longevity Medicine, Traditional Thai Medicine (TTM), Complementary Medicine, and Lifestyle Medicine.
Layan Life’s identity is grounded in Anantara’s Thai heritage and honours the four elements at the core of Thai Traditional Medicine (TTM): earth, water, wind, and fire. Treatments from respected specialists in this ancient healing practice include herbal remedies and hands-on therapies to aid the balance of physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing complemented by state-of-the-art medical and holistic therapies.
Architecturally designed to blend with nature and utilise the location, the building has neutral tones, open airy spaces and an abundance of natural light. Split across two-storeys, the lower level includes a gym, yoga and Pilates studio with the latest equipment, meditation rooms, and a hydrotherapy area with vitality pools, saunas, and steam room. The upper floor houses medical and holistic facilities, rooms for consultations, physiotherapy, TTM, aesthetic treatments, IV procedures and medical treatments including an ice-pod, hyperbaric chamber, and hydro colonic therapies. There is also a Thai herbal dispensary where personalised herbs are prescribed.
The healing power of play is a vital pillar in the wellbeing philosophy of the retreat and Layan Life’s location lends itself to an exciting array of fun and fulfilling activities to suit all guests, and keep the family entertained. The Active Zone provides tennis courts, a Muay Thai ring, a climbing wall and archery, and the Outdoor Fitness area has activities such as ziplining, mountain biking and a beach bootcamp, as well as a selection of water sports including kayaking, stand-up paddleboarding and windsurfing. Cultural immersions include craft workshops, Thai language and cultural etiquette classes, temple tours, hands-on cooking classes, Thai tea tasting, and ocean bound excursions to explore nearby islands.
The Food for Life concept has been carefully curated by expert wellness chef Filippo Tawil, embracing an abundance of fresh whole foods influenced by selected wellness food philosophies. All dishes are free from gluten, dairy and processed sugars, and feature a balance of high-quality macronutrients. Also highlighted are traditional and popular dishes with a healthy twist, because Layan Life’s belief is that the ‘whole of life’ is to be enjoyed.
The Anantara Spa at the resort adds to the wellbeing experience with a variety of treatments, indigenous experiences, spa and hydro therapies, spiritual and enriching rituals and high-tech facials to indulge in, including Anantara signature massages and Himalayan singing bowl sound therapies.
