Phuket’s no longer the untamed paradise it was, but a place like Aleenta proves that, if you pick your spot properly, you can still get that old desert-island feeling. Not quite the Robinson Crusoe feeling — the architecture sees to that, with urbane little villas and contemporary-styled loft suites replacing the more stereotypical thatched-roof huts — but a private and secluded feeling nonetheless.
Some of this is the scale — just fifteen villas and fifteen suites — but some of it is the sheer luxury of the place. Every room faces directly onto a private beach, looking out through floor-to-ceiling windows over the Andaman Sea. You’re 40 kilometers from Phuket town, close enough for a day trip but far enough to ignore it completely if you wish. And the physical comforts are impeccable: the custom-made beds are covered with sheets made from a custom-milled variety of Egyptian cotton. Rooms come with DVD players and pre-loaded iPods as well as, in some cases, outdoor showers, jacuzzis or even private plunge pools.
The cuisine is suitably light, a health-conscious approach — you’ll eat seafood and local organic produce, just like a real castaway would. However, unlike a castaway, you’ll have access to massage, aromatherapy and beauty treatments in the spa, in addition to outdoor diversions like scuba diving, sailing, even big-game fishing. Or just enjoy the low-tech charms of Natai Beach — soft white sand and crystal blue waters prove equally appealing for castaways and luxury travelers alike.

What I liked:
Beautiful, untouched beach. No other resorts nearby. Quiet. Very easy for us with a small child. Not too far from the airport. Having a child meant we were never going to leave the resort in the evening, but couples may want to go out to explore other places to eat - be prepared for the very expensive hotel taxi service to do this.
What the hotel could do better:
Charge less for their taxi transfers - we felt totally ripped off being charged 1800 Bart (US$60) for the transfer to the airport which is 20 mins away. We live in Singapore so are not used to these prices. That's got to be the most expensive taxi in Thailand! We were never able to get an outside taxi because the hotel said they were unavailable. We felt we were paying enough on the accommodation itself.

What I liked:
The infinity pool and Ocean view beyond it. This place looks just like the photos, plus more. The most beautiful place I've ever been!
What the hotel could do better:
The spa facilities could be a bit more private.

What I liked:
From the moment we got picked up from a hotel car at the airport, we were in love with this hotel experience. Aleenta is like entering a very calm and relaxed slice of paradise. Attentive staff take care of every need from the moment you walk in, your bags are shuffled away and replaced with cooling tea and face towels, and there is a sense of floating to our beachside room. Hello relaxation, nice to see you again.
There is a good mix of rooms – from beach view rooms with a balcony to palatial apartments equipped with private pools and living spaces all the mod cons. We were lucky enough to have a beachfront villa with a shared private pool. With glass doors allowing the whole villa to be opened up, the beauty of watching the sun set while sitting in your own pool drinking a cocktail is not lost on this traveller. All light wood interiors, the wardrobes were oversized and luxurious, the outdoor shower our own little oasis, and a giant bathroom complete with oversized spa.
Happy hour at the bar was a little quiet, probably due to other guests being similarly lazy and getting their drinks delivered to the pool/beach/bedside. The bar staff were great – personalised attention due to the lack of customers worked out great for us, and resulted in a never ending supply of awesome bar snacks.
The only downside for some would be that It is far from tourist zones so you have to commit to living the spa experience. Which was no problem for us.
What the hotel could do better:
I cannot express how much we loved this place, and there was not a single thing we would have changed.
Cant wait to get back!
