Iniala Beach House in Thailand has announced exciting additions, which include a new restaurant concept, Anaalā Thailand, helmed by Chef Ian Kittichai, six new luxurious suites and The Campana Lounge.
The first place we will start is at the brand-new restaurant concept: Anaalā Thailand, which was created by award-winning Chef Ian Kittichai, the Head Judge on MasterChef Thailand, a leading restaurateur and chef.
Anaalā Thailand marks a significant step in positioning Iniala Beach House as a premier gastronomic destination within the Phuket and Phang Nga regions, with the new restaurant joining the prestigious and celebrated One Michelin star Aulis Phuket, overseen by Chef Simon Rogan.
On its menu is delicious Thai cuisine from all four regions of Thailand. The dishes celebrate the country’s flavoursome and varied cuisine, and the menu is regularly updated to reflect seasonal changes, ensuring that every evening of the week brings a fresh culinary adventure.
Anaalā is the first of the two new restaurant concepts at Iniala Beach House. It offers elevated Thai cuisine centred on traditional cooking in a paradisiacal setting on the sands of Natai Beach.
Named after the restaurant’s live grilling concept, Anaalā comes from the South Asian language and means fire or the god of fire in Sanskrit.
Both in-house and outside guests can enjoy a unique menu at Anaalā, which showcases delicious Thai flavours, traditional barbeque dishes, and beloved favourites every evening while looking out over the turquoise Andaman Sea.
The menu includes daily caught fish, seasonal ingredients, premium-sourced meat, and some grilled fresh on the beach BBQ. Anaalā also offers a sharing, family-style set menu featuring salads, soups, curries, wok-fried vegetables, rice, and tempting desserts.
Guests can pair the flavoursome cuisine with local beers, cocktails, and an extensive selection of wines. Highlight menu items include Soft Shell Crab Pomelo Salad, Tom Yum Seafood, Grilled Turmeric Grouper, Mango Sticky Rice, and Grilled Tiger Prawns.
Chef Ian Kittichai, who can be seen as the Lead Judge on the Emmy-nominated MasterChef Thailand and the current season of Hell’s Kitchen Thailand, said, “I am delighted to open the doors to Anaalā Thailand; it’s an incredibly exciting era for me and perfectly timed with the relaunch of Iniala Beach House in the beautiful Phang Nga region. Of course, Thai cuisine is extremely important to me and my cooking style and
“I’m excited to continually push the limits of people’s preconceived notions of Thai and Southeast Asian cuisine at Anaalā.”
In celebration of Aulis Phuket’s Michelin star and the opening of Anaalā, Iniala Beach House is offering a two-night package.
The package includes a two-night stay in The Lotus Suite or The Boudoir Suite, daily breakfast, daily massages, delicious dinner at Aulis Phuket and Anaalā Thailand, and airport transfer.
The package is perfect for those seeking to experience a unique gastronomic destination, with the opportunity to enjoy culinary artistry from two award-winning chefs.
Set on Phuket’s idyllic Natai Beach, Iniala Beach House is an exclusive private estate framed by tall palm trees and the pristine Andaman Sea.
Having opened its doors in December 2013, Iniala Beach House has been curated by owner Mark Weingard as an exceptional concept and a masterpiece of design that showcases the imagination, inspiration and innovation of some of the world’s most renowned designers, including Fernando & Humberto Campana, Jaime Hayon, and Thai master craftsman Eggarat Wongcharit.
Aiming to create meaningful connections between a community of like-minded people, the hotel features traditional Thai architecture fused with organic, contemporary forms, bringing a new level of luxury hospitality to the Phuket region.
Iniala Beach House is home to a range of unique accommodation styles. Guests can choose from a three-bedroom beachfront villa to a beautiful penthouse, two one-bedroom pool residences, and now six one-bedroom suites.

The pool residences offer the most exclusive and romantic trips, bringing unprecedented luxury and experiential travel to Thailand and allowing guests to indulge in all that Iniala Beach House and the Phang Nga region has to offer. Each suite is individually designed by world-renowned designers and features a unique style and theme.

Guests will also be able to indulge in world-class cocktails, mocktails and exceptional wines, the perfect accompaniment to the delicious dishes.
