Anantara Layan Phuket Offers Guests a Reason to Get Up Early With the Perfect Breakfast

Nestled between the shores of the Andaman sea and the lush greenery of the national park, Anantara Phuket Layan Resort is the ideal secret island escape. In addition to its serene atmosphere, the resort also boasts the best breakfast spread across the Anantara portfolio and one of the most international that is so much more than just your traditional sunny side up.

Set on the beachfront, Sala Layan gives holiday goers reason to get out of bed, with their lavish and unique breakfast offering delectable dishes and treats like freshly baked pastries including cronuts and filled croissants and Spanish hams paired with international cheeses. As well as giving guests a chance to embrace the local flavours of the island, they can also taste culinary delights that have been artfully articulated from Asia and beyond.

For a healthy start to the day, guests can experiment with the ‘Vitality Corner’ containing a nutritious selection of superfoods such as buckwheat, cocao nibs, bee pollen, chia seeds and spirulina shots. For an added boost to the morning, guests can indulge their inner green goddess with a refreshing pressed to order juice, which uses freshly picked fruits and veg in any preferred combination.

Smells of a Parisian bakery waft through the freshly baked corner, where croissants, focaccias, pretzels, quiches and even cronuts are made on a daily basis, some with a new flavour every day. The selection of homemade compotes, which are served individually in mini mason jars and delicately wrapped, are best enjoyed while looking out onto the pristine sandy beach.

For guests who want to savour the flavours of Asia, they can choose from a variety of indigenous Thai dishes like khao tom and bak kut teh soup, or head to the noodle station where the chef will cook a selection of wok fried or soup noodles to order. Head farther East to the Chinese and Japanese stations where breakfast favourites like dim sum, congee, tea boiled eggs and Nori are waiting to be devoured.

Hidden away from the main breakfast thoroughfare, the atmospherically lit wine room, which is used as a tasting area in the evenings, is transformed into every meat and cheese lover’s dream. An enticing selection of cold meats such as Mortadella, Parma Ham, Black Forest Ham and Coppa, plus cheeses such as marinated Feta, Gorgonzola, Edam and Camembert, have been carefully selected for guests to indulge in a taste of the Mediterranean. A selection of smoked and marinated fish such as orange marinated salmon, peppered mackerel, smoked salmon and homemade smoked tuna also tempts guests.

Coeliac, vegans and those with lactose allergies don’t have to worry about skipping the most important meal of the day as there is a gluten free selection of cereals, pancakes, muffins and breads; a vegan array of delights such as brownies and carrot cake, samosas, aloo gobi and ratatouille; as well as dairy free and vegan milk options.

At the heart of all this, the egg stations serve a wide range of options like the smoked salmon eggs on toast, omelettes, or global favourite Eggs Benedict, each served in an individual pan, to the table with a mixed salad and hand cut chips.

Naturally those looking for the more traditional breakfast won’t be disappointed. Cereals and tempting muesli options are available, along with a vast range of fresh fruits and organic yoghurts with homemade toppings. For the classic cooked breakfast, beef or chicken sausage, German bratwurst and a selection of bacon offerings are included in the mix, with pancakes, bread and butter pudding, assorted crumbles and more to wrap up. And for those wanting to enjoy a more boozy brunch style breakfast, they can spoil themselves with the free flow sparkling wine.

Breakfast at Sala Layan gives guests an experience that goes beyond the traditional egg station to explore a global breakfast sensation where they will always be spoilt for choice.
