(4th February, 2025, Phuket) Iniala Beach House, Thailand’s most exclusive and intimate hotel with one MICHELIN Keys, announces exciting changes which will continue to set new standards for luxury living, including a brand-new restaurant, Anaalā Thailand, helmed by Chef Ian Kittichai.
WELCOME TO ANAALA THAILAND
Iniala Beach House announces the launch of a brand-new restaurant concept: Anaalā Thailand, created by award-winning Chef Ian Kittichai, the Head Judge on MasterChef Thailand and leading restaurateur and chef. This marks a significant step in positioning Iniala Beach House as a premier gastronomic destination within the Phuket and Phang Nga regions, with Anaalā joining the prestigious and celebrated One Michelin star Aulis Phuket, overseen by Chef Simon Rogan + Chef Charlie Wilson.
Anaalā offers delicious Thai cuisine from all four regions of Thailand, celebrating the country’s flavoursome and varied cuisine, with a menu that changes regularly, ensuring that every evening of the week brings a fresh culinary adventure. Anaalā, the first of the two new restaurant concepts at Iniala Beach House, offers elevated Thai cuisine centred upon traditional cooking in a paradisiacal setting right on the sands of Natai Beach. Named after the live grilling concept of the restaurant, Anaalā’s name originates from South Asian languages, meaning fire or the god of fire in Sanskrit.
Both in-house guests and outside guests can enjoy a unique menu at Anaalā, showcasing delicious Thai flavours, traditional barbeque dishes and beloved favourites every evening, all whilst looking out over the turquoise Andaman Sea. The menu includes daily caught fish and seasonal ingredients, alongside premium sourced meat, 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, just to name a few.
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, comments: “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 recent Michelin star and the opening of Anaalā, Iniala Beach House is offering one-night and two-night packages, both including daily breakfast and dinner at Anaalā Thailand, with the two-night package also including daily massages and dinner at Aulis Phuket. These packages are perfect for those seeking to experience a unique gastronomic destination, with the opportunity to enjoy culinary artistry from award-winning chefs.
