Three restaurants and bars dish up local and international flavours. The all day dining restaurant Chaam is characterised by light gourmet snacks and sumptuous meals. In addition, the wood fired pizza sala, Crust, is joined by the swim-up pool bar Ripples. Club Owners who prefer to dine in the comfort of their suite or villa can pick up pre-packaged food parcels and wine from the resort’s continental deli, or indulge in Anantara’s signature Dining by Design concept with a private chef. Thai cooking classes are also available for those guests wishing to learn more about the kingdom’s famous four flavour balance. Club Owners and guests also benefit from a range of shops and restaurants in Turtle Village next door.
This new Anantara Vacation Club resort joins the portfolio’s existing selection of luxury private villas on the islands of Koh Samui, Thailand and Bali in Indonesia, along with a selection of suites in Bangkok, Thailand, Sanya on Hainan Island in China, and in Queenstown, New Zealand.
The launch of Anantara Vacation Club in December 2010 marked an important stage in Anantara’s evolution, enhancing a brand that is renowned for delivering experiences steeped in indigenous luxury and refined Asian hospitality. In just 2.5 years, the company’s short span of operation to date, Anantara Vacation Club has rapidly expanded in the market with ownership sales continuing to exceed all expectations.
