The Anantara

 
Read the NY Times?  You may recognize this place...a few of us arrived at the airport 5 hours early on our way to Malaysia so instead of waiting in the tiny Phuket airport we decided to do a "site visit" to one of the most lux properties on the island.  The Anantara is newly built and the buildings are supposed to resemble a rice paddy plantation.  This, though, is the crown jewel of the property:  the pool is divided into three sections:  a normal pool, a jacuzzi/pool bar, and this part with beds IN the water.  The white things are BEDS!!  and the bar serves you drinks (very good ones, we had some served to us while we lounged in the pool on beds!).    The beds all face the ocean, too.  It was unreal.

They also had cool "Treehouse" bars and every villa has a sitting area that faces the ocean.  Maybe one day when I'm a big city planner I'll come back (HA HA HA).
