Few experiences rival the pleasure of enjoying Thai cuisine with the sea steps away. The rhythm of the tide, the scent of grilled seafood and the gentle warmth of the evening air create a setting that brings classic flavours to life. At Aleenta, beachfront dining is shaped by location, season and a deep respect for Thai culinary heritage.
From the Andaman shores of Phang Nga to the Gulf of Thailand in Hua Hin, each resort offers its own take on Thai favourites, prepared with care and served in relaxed coastal surroundings.
Beachfront Dining In Phuket
At Aleenta Phuket – Phang Nga Resort & Spa, the restaurants open directly onto the sands of Natai Beach. The atmosphere is open and unhurried, allowing guests to settle into long lunches and sunset dinners with ease.
The EDGE
The EDGE sits just metres from the shoreline, offering all-day dining that blends Thai staples with contemporary touches. The menu moves comfortably between traditional recipes and modern plates, always guided by fresh local ingredients.
Thai favourites often include Tom Yum Goong, with its balance of citrus and spice; green curry enriched with coconut milk and fragrant herbs; and Pad Thai, prepared to order. Grilled seafood features prominently, reflecting the coastal setting, with whole fish, prawns and squid served to highlight natural flavour.
Breakfast also carries Thai influences, with rice soups, tropical fruit and lighter savoury dishes alongside Western options. The result is a menu that feels both familiar and rooted in place.
SEASONS
For a more intimate evening, SEASONS presents Thai ingredients through a refined, plant-forward lens. Seasonal vegetables, sustainably sourced seafood and selected premium proteins shape the tasting menus.
Here, southern Thai flavours may appear in carefully composed courses, perhaps a delicately spiced curry sauce paired with local seafood, or heirloom vegetables treated with precision and restraint. A fully plant-based tasting menu remains available, demonstrating the depth and variety of Thai produce.
With limited seating each evening, the experience feels focused and considered, allowing guests to savour each course without distraction.
Private Dining
Private dining at Aleenta Phuket offers a more personal expression of Thai favourites. A candlelit dinner on the sand, a seafood barbecue under the stars or a bespoke celebration meal can all be arranged with discreet service and tailored menus.
Classic dishes such as Massaman curry, spicy papaya salad and grilled river prawns can be incorporated into a menu designed around guest preferences. The setting, framed by the Andaman Sea, elevates even the simplest dish.
Beachfront Dining In Hua Hin
On the Gulf coast, Aleenta Hua Hin – Pranburi Resort & Spa offers a different coastal character. The mood is relaxed yet refined, with beachfront venues that celebrate Thai cuisine in approachable ways.
Aleenta Restaurant
Aleenta Restaurant serves a menu rooted in Thai culinary traditions while incorporating international influences. Many dishes draw on recipes from across the country, presenting familiar flavours with careful presentation.
Expect favourites such as Panang curry with tender cuts of meat, stir-fried morning glory with garlic and chilli, and aromatic jasmine rice accompanying rich sauces. Fresh seafood is central to the offering, often grilled or lightly seasoned to retain its natural sweetness.
The beachfront setting enhances the experience, particularly in the evening when the sky softens, and the sea provides a gentle backdrop.
Beach Café
For a more casual approach, Beach Café delivers Thai classics in a relaxed seaside environment. This is the place for lighter lunches, sharing plates and comfort dishes enjoyed with sand between your toes.
Som Tam, with its bright chilli heat, fried soft shell crab, and simple grilled prawns, often features alongside refreshing drinks. The café’s laid back atmosphere makes it well suited to families and those spending the day by the water.
Private Dining
Private dining in Hua Hin mirrors the personalised approach found in Phuket. Beachfront tables can be arranged for romantic dinners or intimate gatherings, with menus reflecting regional Thai flavours and seasonal ingredients.
Guests may opt for a curated selection of Thai favourites, from spicy salads and fragrant curries to coconut-based desserts that close the evening on a gentle note.
Thai Favourites By The Sea
Across both resorts, the essence of Thai cooking remains at the forefront. Fresh herbs, balanced seasoning and a respect for regional produce define the menus. Dining by the beach enhances these flavours, adding a sense of place that cannot be replicated indoors.
Whether on Natai Beach in Phang Nga or along the sands of Pranburi in Hua Hin, Aleenta’s beachfront restaurants offer a compelling way to enjoy Thai favourites. The combination of sea air, thoughtful cooking and attentive service creates meals that linger in memory long after the holiday ends.
