The Anantara Layan Phuket Resort invites guests to dine in the sky observatory
Dara Cuisine Phuket and Sky Observatory at Anantara Layan Phuket Resort promise an extraordinary experience blending modern Thai dining and celestial exploration, which results in a fusion experience you won’t soon forget.
What’s In A Name
Named after the Thai word for ‘star,’ Dara pays homage to Thailand’s culinary heritage and fearless Andaman seafarers who navigated by the stars. The Sky Observatory, featuring a custom-built Ash dome, invites guests to explore the universe while enjoying constellation-inspired craft cocktails. Sky Storytellers guide them through the wonders of the night sky using Phuket’s most powerful telescope.
Moreover, by day, Anantara’s top chefs lead Thai cooking classes, while evenings at Dara offer a culinary journey through Thailand’s diverse regions. Signature dishes include Moohong Phuket pork belly from the South, Khao Soi curry from the North, and Miang Kham Khai Hoy Mhen from central Thailand.
In Good Hands
Head Chef Supakarn ‘Hong’ Lienpanich infuses regional ingredients with creative flair, evident in dishes like Kob Thod Nam Pla and Nam Tok Nuea Ko Kun. For dessert, indulge in goat cheese and honey ice cream paired with Krabi cashew praline. All of these delicious treats sound way too yumy to not try
On top of that, craft cocktails, themed after celestial wonders, complement the food, showcasing Thai ingredients like coconut, pandan, jasmine, and hibiscus. Dara’s philosophy revolves around honouring local produce, grown in their on-site herb garden and sourced from eco-conscious local farms.
Beautiful Inside And Out
The restaurant’s interior pays homage to Thailand’s artisan heritage, featuring a curated collection of regional crafts that weave a narrative of tradition and artistry. This beautiful interior is what most who visit will stay for as it is sure to catch any eye that looks upon it.
