10/10Our stay at Villa Ananda was incredibly peaceful and relaxing. The spacious grounds, beautiful pools, and quiet beachfront made it the perfect escape. The team took great care of us, and every detail was thoughtfully prepared. Truly a serene getaway!
10/10When I first arrived at Villa Ananda, I was truly impressed by the beautiful grounds, the elegant palm trees, and the stylish pool area. The sunsets were absolutely breathtaking. One of the highlights was the wide, sandy beach with a gentle entrance to the sea – perfect for swimming and relaxing. My villa had a stunning bathroom with a unique and beautifully designed interior, which I really appreciated.
10/10Our trip to Villa Ananda was absolutely unforgettable! From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in a sense of peace and tranquility. The location is perfect, just 25 minutes from Phuket Airport and right on the stunning beach. We spent our days lounging on the shaded recliners and swimming in the gorgeous pool. One of our favorite experiences was enjoying a barbecue meal, either grilling ourselves or having the private chef whip up some incredible seafood dishes. Dining at the gazebo while feeling the gentle sea breeze was simply divine! The sunsets from our beachfront spot were breathtaking, and we made sure to soak in every moment. The villa itself is spacious and beautifully designed, blending modern luxury with traditional Thai charm. It truly felt like our very own slice of paradise. The staff were exceptional, making our stay even more enjoyable. The onsite villa manager was always on hand to assist with whatever we needed, and the attendants took care of everything flawlessly. If you are looking for a luxurious and relaxing getaway, Villa Ananda is the place to be. We can’t recommend it enough!
10/10A truly grand beachfront villa that defines luxury, luxury, and more luxury! Perfect for large groups of friends and family, this villa offers not just space but also a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. With a dedicated children's room, a kids' pool, and expansive lawns for little ones to run around, it’s an ideal retreat for all ages. Every moment spent here was pure bliss—I absolutely loved it!
10/10Villa Ananda is the most glorious holiday destination just a short drive from Phuket airport. Situated in beautiful grounds shaded by palm trees the six well appointed bedrooms, each a separate self contained 'villa', all have views of the sea and glorious sunsets. The 'great room' with sitting and dining areas and 'family room' with television are all cooled by fans but can be air- conditioned on the hottest days. The infinity pool is 25 metres long with similar length children's pool. All is beautifully maintained and the charming, smiling, helpful staff are a delight. The beautifully presented fruit for breakfast and delicious Thai food are memorable. The empty white beach is a few steps from the garden, perfect for a morning or evening walk or run.
10/10Absolute perfection for a family holiday. The location is sensational, looking out on a beautiful, secluded beach. You're just north of Phuket island here and it's perfect: close enough to the airport but away from the hubbub. The villa itself is a model of stylish luxury, extremely comfortable but not showy or chintzy. Two infinity pools, a large lawn with shade and elegant planting and a sunken table at the end of the main pool for casual lunches. The staff are a delight, serving superb Thai food, making special occasions feel special and generally being endlessly helpful throughout. I can't recommend Ananda too highly.
10/10This villa and huge garden offers superb facilities and a holiday like no other we have ever experienced and is as close to paradise as you could possibly get. We had wonderful swimming in the Andaman Sea and walks along empty beaches, daily massages in the sala with sea views and excellent food. The staff were charming and looked after our every need. This is an unbeatable villa for a holiday.
10/10I have nothing but unqualified praise for this exquisite place. It is situated on a glorious long but quiet beach a few miles north of Phuket airport but far away from the crowds and tat of what sadly most of that hitherto lovely island now boasts. This is sheer heaven and a place to restore one's energy, totally relax and forget the troubles of the world. I could not recommend it highly enough. There are lovely gentle staff to take care of your every need with a smile; totally delicious food; so much space and so many choices to place yourself. The individual little houses have a bedroom with the most wonderful views of palm trees and the blue ocean and a large bathroom set into an exotic oriental garden. The large swimming pool is wonderful & great for doing lengths against the backdrop of the gentle waves lapping the spotless beach. If you really have to keep in touch with the real world there is WiFi. All in all a blissful dream and worth every penny!
10/10We stayed with friends including their daughter, son-in-law and grandchildren. The setting was just unbelievable - beautiful grounds looking straight out over the (deserted) beach with palm trees waving in the breeze and sunsets to die for. We each had a separate villa with large and comfortable bedroom, dressing room and spacious bathroom. The staff were superb, totally friendly, always helpful and nothing was too much trouble and the cook was just fantastic. We've always liked Thai food but day after day, the most delicious Thai dishes would appear, each better than the last and then, when I realised that I was missing my good old English breakfast, the most perfect eggs and bacon appeared! And I could even justify it by swimming 20 lengths of the glorious 25 metre pool every morning. Then there were long walks on the idyllic beach, ending up with drinks at a beachside bar before turning round and returning. The place was very children friendly and they seemed to have a wonderful time with their own paddling pool and plenty of room to play without being all over us oldies. My wife and I have never had such a luxurious and relaxing holiday.
10/10This is a special place. We stayed here for 2 weeks with family including young children and had the most idyllic holiday. The location is perfect with sea views and access to an endless stretch of unspoilt beach. The view is visible from your own luxurious pool which has the benefit of a discreet shallow smaller pool which our children enjoyed for hours on end. The villa caters perfectly for groups allowing privacy in your own separate mini villas yet several large areas to socialise together. The buildings and interiors are beautiful and so open allowing you to really enjoy the climate. In addition the plentiful food could not be faulted. We hope very much to be able to stay here again in the future.
10/10Ananda is the pinnacle of understated, elegant luxury. It is half an hour north of Phuket airport in the car, which means it is off the main island. This, to us, was a considerable bonus. If you want to sample the delights of Patong beach etc, Ananda is not for you. Otherwise, Its location is quite simply sensational: right on the beach, and a beach that could have come straight from a postcard, yet with rarely a soul to be seen. It sits in a run of four huge properties that were obviously built at the same time. My (pathetic) competitive streak was delighted to note that Ananda seems to be notably bigger than the others, with larger grounds. The property consists of six or seven separate villas, all with bathroom, all furnished with style but not swagger. The service is in tune with the decor - attentive but never overbearing. The food is authentic Thai, beautifully prepared without being fussy. Star choice: duck curry. At the same time if what you need is some noodles for the kids that can also be arranged - in fact anything, seemingly, can be arranged. We enjoyed massages on the 'Sunset Sala' most days, as the sun set over a limpid sea in what was an almost ridiculously idyllic scene. The property manages to pull off the trick of being both effortlessly stylish yet completely child friendly. Evidently it has been set up with both of these requirements in mind. Small touches like separate bunk rooms for the children with toys and TV, or travel cots or a shallow infinity pool just for the children, can make a huge difference to a family holiday. In summary Ananda is the perfect getaway for peace, tranquility and time with friends or family or both. I cannot recommend it highly enough and can;t wait to come back.
10/10Ananda at Jivana has simply luxurious sea facing villas. Having stayed 5 sleeps at this stunning place..I have been woken up by the beautiful sunrise each morning along a serene view of the spacious garden's green grass and coconut trees ...just perfect to start a day off with. The beach is only a 10 second walk from the villa front and there is a beautiful infinity pool just before the beach if one would rather swim in the pool. The food served at Ananda was delicious authentic thai food and the service from the friendly staff was perfect. I'd definitely head back to this heavenly place for my next visit if I could ... for a business trip or a romantic getaway.. It's simply gorgeous.
10/10We have stayed at the wonderful Ananda on several occasions and it has always been heaven from beginning to end. The setting is just beautiful - acres of palm tree brushed beach frontage, two chic large pools, spacious and stylishly appointed rooms - some with hidden luxuries like a sunken outside bath. The staff are superb and the food absolutely delicious. Our children loved their time here and we had a very relaxing holiday, which is often hard to come by with small children. I cannot recommend it more highly.
