Travel With A Conscience

By Heavens Portfolio

Iniala Beach House has brought a new level of luxury hospitality to the Phuket region with three beautifully appointed villas (each with three suites) and one spectacular penthouse suite. The residence is a masterpiece of design fusing traditional Thai architecture with organic, contemporary forms featuring the work of world-renowned designers. Each villa comes with its own spa and personal therapist, while three- star Michelin Chef Eneko Atxa from Spain oversees the on-property restaurant Aziamendi.

For little ones, Iniala boasts The Kids’ Hotel, a space for children of all ages. Children can even opt to sleep here as the space is fully equipped with bunk beds and miniature robes and slippers and Iniala is delighted to staff the Kids’ Hotel upon request, enabling the young ones to have a holiday all their own and allowing adults some precious time together. Founder Mark Weingard owned a house at the site that is now Iniala when the devastating tsunami hit the Phuket region in 2004. The house was badly damaged and Weingard began to rebuild, but he was struck with the idea to create what is Iniala with the imaginations, innovation and inspiration of renowned designers. Thus, 10 world class designers were given carte blanche to create the different spaces, with the brief that each room must be “out of the ordinary”, yet practical and comfortable. Iniala also has a strong charitable philosophy with 10% of all room revenues, and 5% of other revenues, going to charity. The Inspirasia Foundation was set up by Iniala’s Founder Mark Weingard 10 years ago and is committed to funding exceptional health, disability and education projects across Thailand, Indonesia and India.

Iniala Beach House is situated on Natai Beach just 20 minutes north of Phuket Airport, Thailand, with unobstructed views of the beach and the Andaman Sea.
