Iniala Beach House Is Thailand's Most Luxurious New Resort

By Patrick Wilson

For an unforgettable escape, consider philanthropist Mark Weingard’s Iniala Beach House in Phuket, Thailand. Overlooking the Andaman Sea, the five-acre property comprises four stunning villas designed by such top talents as Brazil’s Campana brothers and Jaime Hayón of Spain. The $22,750 starting rate for a sybaritic one-week stay in a three-suite villa—with plenty of room for three couples or a family—offers much in return, not least your own private spa and a full staff that includes a driver, a butler, and a chef. Adding to guests’ sense of well-being is the knowledge that 15 percent of the resort’s revenue goes to Weingard’s Inspirasia Foundation, which funds health and education projects in Thailand, Indonesia, and India. inialaom
