Health & Wellness Cuisine at Aleenta Resorts
The Edge Restaurant
Located at Aleenta Phuket, The EDGE Beachfront Restaurant offers a menu that is defined by contemporary Asian inspiration and local provenance. With the Andaman Sea steps away, the setting is both serene and sophisticated, perfectly reflecting the culinary artistry of Executive Chef Poungthip Sirinan.
The EDGE is a haven for wellness-conscious travellers and gastronomes alike. Start your meal with a nourishing bowl of gazpacho, rich with heirloom tomatoes and fresh herbs, or choose the Por Pia Sot—fresh vegetables wrapped in rice berry paper, served with a delicate sweet chilli sauce. For mains, the Buddha Bowl brims with sweet potato, avocado, quinoa, and curried chickpeas, while the Teriyaki Tofu brings balance and flavour through locally crafted tofu, broccoli, and sesame.
The EDGE also excels in plant-forward comfort food. The Vegan Burger, made with legumes and seitan, is served between a charcoal bun and accompanied by sweet potato fries. Healthy desserts such as the Glow Bowl—a vibrant mix of Chiang Mai strawberries, mango, watermelon, and blueberries—offer a refreshing finish.
SEASONS Restaurant
At Aleenta Phuket, SEASONS has redefined fine dining with a plant-based ethos that places sustainability and creativity at its core. Following a visionary renovation, the restaurant now champions small-plate dining that showcases the finest, seasonal ingredients sourced from Phang Nga’s land and sea.
Guests are encouraged to curate their meal from selections of three, five, or seven dishes, allowing for a personal and exploratory dining experience. Each plate is an artful expression of Thai terroir, incorporating fermented, pickled, and preserved elements that minimise waste while maximising flavour.
Expect dishes like cured aubergine with local herbs, smoked jackfruit with tamarind glaze, or garden vegetable ceviche. Late-night diners can unwind with seasonal sweet bites and naturally fermented beverages until midnight.
Chef Steen Nielsen’s weekly 11-course Chef’s Table is a must for those seeking insight into the roots and rhythm of SEASONS. With expertly paired wines and inventive storytelling, it offers an unparalleled immersion into the spirit of Thai plant-based dining.
The Garden Restaurant
In the foothills of Chiang Mai, The Garden at Aleenta Retreat Chiang Mai brings a fresh approach to wellness dining with its farm-to-table concept. Here, health-driven meals are enriched by the wisdom of Lanna cuisine and the natural bounty of northern Thailand.
Begin the day with a hearty breakfast of chia pudding or beetroot yoghurt, served with homemade granola and seasonal fruit. Light lunch options include energy bars made with nuts and seeds, paired with cold-pressed juices or kombucha. For something more substantial, opt for a grilled Lanna vegetable platter or a Buddha Bowl layered with local grains and leafy greens.
The Garden’s commitment to health never compromises flavour. Each dish delivers nourishment through gut-friendly fibre, high-quality proteins, and heart-healthy fats. The setting, surrounded by tropical greenery and tranquil garden views, enhances the sense of well-being with every bite.
Aleenta Restaurant
At Aleenta Hua Hin, wellness cuisine seamlessly blends global and Thai traditions. The resort’s menus are a tribute to natural abundance and culinary creativity, offering options for all dietary needs, including vegan, ketogenic, low-carb, and gluten-free.
Guests may begin their day with Ayurah Bircher Muesli or the Super Bowl—a protein-rich mix of quinoa, chia, edamame, and dried fruits. Midday favourites include the High-Pro Bowl, filled with chickpeas, tofu, tempeh, and buckwheat, or the Glow Bowl, bursting with antioxidants from goji berries and fresh mango.
The all-day menu is equally impressive. Vegan Green Curry, Teriyaki Tofu, and Lotus Root Curry bring Thai comfort with a wellness twist. For Western flair, dishes such as the Vegan Burger and Raw Chocolate Tart cater to both health and indulgence. Desserts like the Lime & Matcha Raw Tart or homemade coconut ice cream provide the perfect sweet ending to a nutrient-dense meal.
