Why Phuket is the Perfect Australian Winter Holiday Destination - Aleenta Phuket - Phang Nga Resort & Spa

Winter is setting in across Australia, but the warm shores of Southeast Asia are ready to welcome you to a tropical paradise. Just a short flight away, Phuket and Phang Nga offer an idyllic escape, where lush landscapes meet pristine beaches, and luxury meets authentic Thai culture. Nestled along the sands of Natai Beach, Aleenta Phuket Resort & Spa offers an all-encompassing retreat for travellers of every stripe – from couples to families to groups of friends.

A Tropical Paradise Awaits in Phang Nga

Located just over nine hours from Australia, Aleenta Resort & Spa in Phang Nga is an easy getaway that transports you to a serene, sunny escape. Set along the tranquil shores of Natai Beach, the resort boasts crystal-clear waters and pristine white sands, offering a more exclusive experience than Phuket’s bustling main beaches. Your winter blues will melt away as you’re surrounded by the scent of frangipani and jasmine in the warm sea breeze.

Aleenta’s beachfront villas and suites put you just steps from the ocean, with private pools, expansive sundecks, and uninterrupted views of the Andaman Sea. Whether sipping a tropical cocktail by the pool or unwinding in your spacious villa, you’ll find peace and indulgence at every turn. For families or groups, Aleenta’s Grand Villas have the added luxury of a private chef on request, a 24-hour on-call butler, and a free shuttle service – all designed to make your stay as convenient and comfortable as possible.

  • Wellness at the Heart of Your Holiday

Aleenta Resort & Spa offers a rejuvenating experience at its Ayurah Spa & Wellness Centre for those seeking a wellness retreat. The resort is Thailand’s only home for Linda Meredith skincare products and offers the latest treatments to enhance well-being.

If you’re looking for a deeper sense of tranquillity, Aleenta’s wellness treatments can be paired with a nutritious dining programme to give your body a holistic reset amid the serene backdrop of the Andaman Sea.

  • Culinary Delights for Every Palate

Dining at Aleenta is an experience in itself, celebrating the rich flavours of Thai cuisine while supporting sustainable practices. The resort’s signature restaurants, The Edge and SEASONS, offer a range of exquisite dishes featuring the freshest local ingredients prepared by skilled chefs. The Edge brings a relaxed, beachside dining experience, serving dishes inspired by traditional Thai recipes. At the same time, The Natai provides a more upscale, fine-dining experience that infuses Thai flavours with international techniques.

Aleenta is committed to environmental responsibility, sourcing ingredients from nearby farms and embracing sustainable initiatives, such as bringing Costa Rican coffee beans directly to Thailand. Private dining experiences are also available, allowing you to enjoy a romantic beachfront meal under the stars or a private barbecue in your villa.
