Layan Life Longevity Retreat: Science-Led Wellness Weeks in Phuket

A stay at Layan Life is built around consultations and treatments rather than a group class schedule. You arrive, sit down with a wellness consultant, and the week is assembled from there — diagnostics, IV vitamin therapy, biohacking and cellular optimisation, physiotherapy, integrative medicine, aesthetic treatments, Thai Traditional Medicine and holistic healing are all on the menu. Sessions run from sunrise to sunset and are booked around you.

What separates this from a standard resort spa is the medical depth. The retreat runs advanced diagnostics to inform treatments, and the five pillars are staffed as distinct disciplines rather than one general wellness team. Longevity medicine, integrative medicine and aesthetic medicine sit alongside Thai Traditional Medicine and holistic mind-body work. The property has been recognised by Vogue, Tatler Asia, the World Spa Awards, the Destination Deluxe Awards and the Hotel Awards, and took third place in the Longevity Biohacking Facility of the Year category.

Fitness and mindfulness are part of the offering rather than the whole point. Yoga, tai chi and singing bowl sound therapy appear in the Mindfulness for Life programme, and there is a dedicated Fitness and Mindfulness treatment line. The Shape for Life programme is the closest thing to a training-and-nutrition week, aimed at metabolic health and sustainable weight management.

Where you sleep depends on what you book. Anantara Layan Phuket Resort has upscale rooms, suites and villas with sea views and ocean breezes. Layan Residences by Anantara is a separate collection of fifteen pool residences perched above the Andaman Sea, each with its own design, a cliff-edge infinity pool and in-residence spa and wellness treatments. Dining changes daily and is built around whole-food ingredients.

The retreat sits within Anantara Layan Phuket Resort on Phuket, Thailand. It was the Strategic Partner and Official Accommodation Partner of the Global Wellness Summit 2026. Treatments are available to guests aged 16 and above; younger guests can book mini massages (ages 8-16) at Anantara Spa, and the Chang Club & Active Zone runs activities for children under 16.
