Angsana Laguna Phuket, the newest resort within Laguna Phuket’s idyllic beachside complex, opens on 1 December 2011. Following extensive refurbishment totaling USD 30 million, the flagship Angsana resort reflects the relaxed seaside ambience of southern Thailand, offering a range of amenities and activities for the active and contemporary traveller.
Nestled within Bang Tao Bay at Laguna Phuket – Asia’s first integrated resort – Angsana Laguna Phuket occupies the site of the former Sheraton Grande Laguna Phuket. This refreshed and stylish resort is the largest Angsana property in Southeast Asia with 409 keys. Ten different room categories offer a plethora of accommodation options. The 40 square metre Laguna Room is ideal for couples while the 45 square metre Laguna Premier Room is aimed at families. Honeymooners can enjoy the 88 square metre two story Angsana One Bedroom Lofts which are sited directly on the lagoon. The 112 square metre Angsana Two Bedroom Lofts provide generous living spaces for families and friends with sufficient room for individual privacy, complemented by a roof top terrace. The 139 square metre Angsana Suite or the 226 square metre Presidential Suite offer expansive views over the lagoon and picturesque gardens, and the three-bedroom 357 square metre Angsana Pool Residences feature private pools and gardens with views of the championship Laguna Phuket golf course. Finally, the 490 square 
metre Angsana Grand Pool Residence offer four bedrooms, a private kitchen, sun deck and an outdoor sala.
Wide Variety of Dining Options
The resort’s all-day dining venue, Market Place, exudes the charm of a traditional Thai street market and features a range of international cuisines. Located on a picturesquely landscaped patio overlooking the lagoon, Bodega & Grill features premium char-grilled steaks, roasted fish and seafood prepared in a wood-fired oven.
Fresh local seafood such as Phuket lobster, tiger prawns and black crabs can be enjoyed at Baan Talay featuring a live fish tank. Other dining options include Poolside, for casual alfresco meals, and Loy Krathong for sunset cocktails and creative Asian tapas complemented by live entertainment. Just a five-minute boat ride across the lagoon, Canal 
Bakery offers freshly baked pastries and fresh juices along with healthy sandwiches and salads.
The resort’s beach club, XANA, is slated to open on 1 March 2011. Featuring spacious sun lounges and plush daybeds, the beach club offers a fusion of Mediterranean and Thai cuisine.
Feeling Lucky
Guests with children can enjoy the resort’s Treehouse Kids’ Club which is built over two stories and features a café along with activities such as arts and crafts classes and interactive story hour. Next to the Kid’s Club is a Thai sala offering kids’ spa treatments including hair braiding and basic manicures and pedicures.
The club also offers the opportunity for children to play with two baby elephants named Lucky and Joey who are 
housed in Laguna Phuket. Kids can take walks along the beach at Bang Tao Bay with the animals, or watch as they bathe in the Andaman Sea. The rescue of Lucky and Joey is but one example of the resort’s commitment to sustainable development on the island.
Relax and Rejuvenate
The new Angsana Spa embraces a tropical garden spa concept and features a vibrant contemporary design. Treatments are based on aromatherapy and highlight a fusion of wellness techniques from East and West. Offering 12 indoor treatment rooms comprising seven double and five single suites, each equipped with shower facilities for added privacy, the Spa also features a signature rain mist facility, steam room, sauna and a beauty salon.
The Spa’s signature Angsana Massage targets the body’s key pressure points to strengthen inner “qi” or energy, and 
the innovative Bamboo Massage uses the soothing touch of warm bamboo and therapeutic long, firm massage strokes to ease stiff muscles and stimulate blood circulation. Private yoga classes for adults and children alike are also on offer, along with a range of family and kids’ spa packages for pampering with loved ones. The Angsana Gallery showcases exclusive resort and Asian-inspired spa merchandise so guests may re-create the Angsana Spa experience in the comfort of their home.
