Sustainability

Anantara Layan Phuket Resort has introduced a number of measures to manage energy use across the property. Electric boilers have been replaced with heat pumps, while variable speed drive (VSD) systems have been installed on pump pressure systems. The resort has also replaced selected air-conditioning units with variable refrigerant volume (VRV) systems and uses LED lighting across the property.

For new construction projects, the resort specifies VRV air-conditioning systems. Light-sensitive switches have also been installed for landscape lighting, allowing the lights to respond to daylight levels.

All Anantara properties immerse themselves in local initiatives that give back to the community and the environment, thereby enhancing the social and environmental surroundings of each destination.

The 'Dollars for Deeds' program provides our guests with the opportunity to contribute financially to a hand-picked selection of initiatives that impact the environment, sustainability, and the community. At Anantara Layan Phuket Resort, funds from the 'Dollars for Deeds' program are dispersed equally among three chosen and vetted causes:

The Princess Sirindhorn Craniofacial Centre (Community Development)
The Mai Khao Marine Turtle Foundation (Environment and Climate Change)
The Golden Triangle Asian Elephant Foundation

Sea Shell and Herbal Therapy | 90 minutes

Inspired by the textures and sounds of the Andaman coast, this treatment begins with the gentle sound of a seashell held close to the ear. Warm hand movements and acupressure follow, complemented by heated seashells and herbal compresses for a soothing spa experience.

Andaman Sea Healing Journey | 120 minutes

A two-hour ritual inspired by the Andaman coast. The journey begins with a pearl body scrub, followed by a heated sand poultice massage with selected herbal oils. Allow time to unwind as warmth, texture and fragrance come together in a deeply calming experience.

Anantara Layan Phuket Resort is proud to stand with the Mai Khao Marine Turtle Foundation in their mission to conserve sea turtles. Our support goes beyond fundraising. Each year, we organize a special sea turtle release, raising awareness and educating both our staff and guests on the importance of sea turtle conservation.

Our commitment extends to the preservation of their natural habitat. We maintain a clean and peaceful beach environment, ensuring it remains pristine for mother sea turtles that come to lay their eggs. To safeguard our reef and the marine life that calls it home, we've limited water sports activities. This approach ensures the good health of our underwater ecosystems and the safety of these magnificent creatures.

At Anantara Layan Phuket Resort, we are dedicated to protecting our oceans and the enchanting sea turtles that are an integral part of our coastal ecosystem.

Anantara Layan Phuket Resort holds Platinum certification under the Green Growth 2050 Global Standard. The assessment covers the resort’s practices across environmental, social, cultural and operational areas. Our team continues to review these practices as part of the certification process.

Anantara Layan Phuket Resort stopped using plastic straws in its operations in 2018. This is one of the steps the resort has taken to reduce its use of disposable plastic.

Thoughtful food preparation begins in our kitchens. Our culinary team pays attention to portion sizes and separates food waste as part of the resort’s waste management practices. Where suitable, food waste is composted and the resulting material is used in our farm and herb garden. These everyday practices bring greater care to how ingredients are handled, from preparation through to disposal.

Waste separation takes place both in guest areas and behind the scenes at Anantara Layan Phuket Resort. Recycling bins in the villas give guests a simple way to take part, while our teams separate materials such as paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, metal and used cooking oil for collection. Clear separation helps ensure each material is handled through the appropriate waste stream.
