In the know

Our favourite rooms

The Ocean View Loft suites are particularly high scorers, with two floors, double-height ceilings and private sundecks. For the pinnacle of pampering, go for the presidential dimensions of the Spa Villa, which includes a private pool and Jacuzzi, an outdoor lounge and your own spa treatment room. To lay the luxury on even thicker, you can engage the services of a private butler and a personal chef.

Packing tips

Forget the iPod – all rooms have one. Forget the swimwear – if your room has a private pool you can sunbathe sans tan lines. Most of all, forget the stress and fretting of everyday life – Aleenta has a no-tension policy.

Also

Aleenta has set up a Marine Turtle Foundation to protect Thailand’s native species. The hotel matches guests’ donations of THB40 a day (included in room rates) to its associated turtle sanctuary in Khao Lumpee-Haad Thaimueang National Park.

Food & drink

Hotel restaurant

Spicy Far Eastern fusion at the open-air Beach Lounge; nouvelle French cuisine with a local touch at the newer Chef’s Table. Plump for the pandan-wrapped Andaman lobster and balsamic caramel.

Dress code

Assured but unfussy – light crisp linens and flowing summer dresses.

Top table

Assuming the weather’s obliging, request a table on the beach and dine within inches of the ocean.

Last orders

Food is available until 10.30pm, but the drink keeps flowing until the last guest leaves.

Room service

Meals can be served in your room between 6am and midnight.

Hotel bar

Sharing space with the restaurant, the relaxed beach bar is an essential stop-off for an alfresco cocktail, and plays a chilled-out mixture of lounge, jazz, lo-fi and crooner tunes.
