Your wellness journey at Layan Life begins with a comprehensive wellness consultation followed by a diagnosis including genetic testing, advanced physiotherapy and 3D body scanning to assess each guest’s health status. The results are then analysed by a team of specialist doctors, Thai medicine practitioners and physiotherapists who create unique programmes based on the Wellness Lifestyle Model that integrates four key pillars of wellness: Longevity Medicine, Traditional Thai Medicine, Complementary Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine.
Anantara’s Layan Life is based on the four fundamental elements of traditional Thai medicine – earth, water, air and fire. The treatments offered by experts in this ancient healing practice include herbal and practical therapies to help balance physical, mental and spiritual health, alongside advanced medical and holistic therapies.
The architectural design of the building blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, featuring neutral tones and wide-open spaces bathed in natural light. Spread over two floors, the ground floor houses a state-of-the-art gym, yoga and Pilates studio, meditation rooms, and a hydrotherapy area with vitality pools, saunas and a steam room. The second floor houses the holistic medical and wellness facilities, including consultation rooms, physiotherapy, traditional Thai medicine, aesthetic treatments, IVs and medical treatments such as a snow chamber, hyperbaric oxygen room and colon hydrotherapy. A Thai herbal dispensary is also available to prescribe herbal treatments tailored to each guest’s needs.
The resort’s wellness philosophy is centred around the power of indulgent treatments, and Layan Life offers an exciting range of fun and interactive activities for all guests to keep the whole family entertained. The activity area includes tennis courts, a Muay Thai ring, a climbing wall and an archery range, while the outdoor fitness area includes activities such as zip lining, mountain biking and a beach boot camp, in addition to a selection of water sports such as kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding and windsurfing. Cultural activities include craft workshops, Thai language classes, cultural etiquette classes, temple tours, practical cooking classes, Thai tea tasting experiences and cruises to explore nearby islands.

All dishes are free of gluten, dairy, and processed sugars, while containing a balanced ratio of high-quality essential nutrients. The concept also highlights healthy traditional and popular dishes, as Layan Life believes in enjoying the “full life” approach.
