Iniala Beach House

Before booking, I had researched extensively about the Iniala Beach House, but I underestimated its excellence. I initially thought it would be good, but not to the extent of what I experienced. It surpassed all expectations, resembling a heavenly retreat for those who have lived virtuously. In fact, it exceeded my expectations by a thousandfold. During our two-week stay here, we found a serene oasis that offered a welcome escape from the typical hustle and bustle of Phuket. This marked our fourth visit to Thailand, and we were pleasantly surprised by the tranquility that this location provided. Situated just a 20-minute taxi ride north of Phuket airport, on the mainland beyond the bridge, the retreat strikes a perfect balance—far removed from the bustling tourist spots yet conveniently close for those who seek a change of scenery. My primary goal was to unwind from work stress and cherish quality time with my wife, and this place exceeded our expectations in every way. We began our stay by indulging in the luxury of all three beachfront pool villas, each surpassing the beauty of the previous one. Designed by renowned designers, each villa exuded its unique style and charm, creating a truly unforgettable experience. The butler service, particularly our dedicated Taengkwa, Melissa from sales, and Thai the GM, went above and beyond to cater to our every need. Our driver, Dean, treated us with royal hospitality, while Kay, our fitness instructor, added a great touch to our wellness experience. Not to be overlooked, the culinary delights surpassed our expectations, leading us to savor most of our meals in the comfort of our villa. The food was not just amazing—it was truly exceptional. Thanks Chef Jay.

If you want a very different experience in Thailand this is the place for you. It's not a hotel and its not villa life it's a bit of both. The decorations are incredible and the pools in each villa are beautiful. It gets a ten out ten for position, right on a beautiful long sandy beach and a ten out of ten for accommodation. Although the fridge was stocked well with drink there was no fresh fruit or snacks available which we'd had in every other place. Where it lacks, is the service! We had a lovely butler who lacked in experience, she never anticipated our needs and often we had to ask twice for things. For a five star price tag we'd expect five star treatment. The food was lovely and we enjoyed having it on our terrace by the pool.I enjoyed the yoga on the beach every morning. There's not much to do here but there is a good gym and paddle boards, canoes and bikes although we didn't use them. Don't come here if you like people watching and a bit of buzz, it defiantly doesn't have that its a very quiet hide away.

A estadia de 3 noites no Iniala superou as enormes expectativas que tínhamos . Desde o transfer passando pela recepção calorosa e absolutamente inesperada por ( quase ) toda a equipa fazendo nos sentir como da casa. O resort ( se assim lhe podemos chamar por ser tão original ) é duma beleza arrebatadora . Ficamos numa Pool Residence, e ao entrar ficamos maravilhados com o requinte da decoração e a dimensão da mesma (178 m2 ) , uma sala e casa de jantar, quarto em suite enorme e uma sacada com jacuzi onde se podia desfrutar de um pôr de sol deslumbrante. Fizemos um tour pelas outras suites e vilas, todas diferentes e todas lindas e arrebatadoras pela originalidade e gosto na decoração. Ficamos em pensão completa e a comida , desde o pequeno-almoço, almoços e jantares, 1 deles na praia com uma decoração e serviços exemplares e outro no restaurante Auris do conceituado e detentor de 3 estrelas Michelin Simon Rogan, foram dos melhores que alguma vez tivemos , pelo que recomendo vivamente. A praia é bonita e a água muito quente embora com ondulação pelo que deverá existir algum cuidado. A piscina de borda infinita é também linda. Por último e o mais importante foram os funcionários, de uma atenção e simpatia extrema , gostaria de destacar o nosso mordomo Keng , que nos acompanhou em toda a estadia com um profissionalismo e uma cortesia extrema , quase que adivinhando as nossas necessidades. Um local a visitar , nós voltaremos um dia de certeza .
