Escape the winter blahs and discover paradise just off the northern tip of Phuket Island. Nestled on a stunning stretch of white sandy beach on Thailand’s Andaman coast, the Aleenta Resort is a serene hideaway that promises a seductive tropical experience. It’s the ideal base to discover Phang Nga Bay National Park, a geologic wonder filled with islets, sunken caverns, and startling limestone rock formations rising from the sea (pictured). An idyllic retreat by the sea, the Aleenta Resort and Spa Phangnga opened after the incredible success of the first Aleenta hotel in Hua Hin (praised in the New York Times). The 15 suites come with infinity pools, private decks, wireless Internet, and all kinds of high-tech amenities. Here you can embark on a culinary adventure with Thai cooking classes, revitalize with pampering spa treatments in an unparalleled spa setting overlooking the sea, and sip some sunset cocktails in “The Living Room” lounge and open-air bar.
