ANDASI, the world’s largest underwater restaurant and the first underwater bar in Asia, is now open in Central Phuket. ANDASI is located within Aquaria Phuket, also recently opened and the largest and newest aquarium in Thailand. Diners are seated amidst more than 50,000 aquatic animals and more than 300 species.
The restaurant and aquarium are projects lead by Central Pattana. The aquarium’s design was inspired by Thai mythology and is split into several zones, including areas devoted to freshwater species, penguins and otters. The aquarium also includes the world’s first augmented reality art museum.
“We are very pleased to celebrate the official launch of Aquaria Phuket, Thailand’s largest and latest aquarium along with ANDASI, the world’s largest underwater restaurant and the first underwater bar in Asia. These two are comparable to the final jigsaw pieces that complete Central Phuket’s world-class attractions and are now fully ready to welcome tourists from around the world. We are confident that Aquaria Phuket will soon become a must-visit aquarium for tourists. This latest world-class attraction will elevate Phuket to be a true global beach [and] lifestyle destination in addition to help[ing] push forward economic growth and the tourism industry of Phuket and Thailand,” said Dr. Nattakit Tangpoonsinthana, executive vice president of marketing, Central Pattana.

Nov 6, 2026Nature and Nordic Culture Ensure a Perfect Pace for Exploring Stockholm
Crowned the “Capital of Scandinavia,” Stockholm stands at the epicenter of modern Nordic movements that — much like their Viking forebears — have swept across the globe. From art to design to cuisine, the Swedish city entices business and leisure travelers alike. Also fitting for its Viking history: the capital’s waterfront positioning, situated across 14 islands where Lake Mälaren meets the Baltic Sea. For a country that infamously sees little sunshine in the winter months, outdoor pursuits remain popular year-round, from hiking to sailing to ice-skating.

Nov 5, 2026Review: Casa Gangotena
ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN: Facing one side of San Francisco Plaza in Quito’s Old Town, you’d be forgiven if you, at first, mistook the hotel for a palatial residence or estate, where the fourth or perhaps fifth generation of a family resides. Casa Gangotena, a Relais & Châteaux property, was, in fact, a home for many, built in the 17th century and later home to several presidents. The entrance reminds you you’re on very special grounds, from crown molding ceilings to opulent chandeliers to velvet couches, and staff guided me to check-in, beginning my very own regal stay.

Oct 28, 2026Review: Caribe Royale Orlando
It’s truly its own universe: Caribe Royale Orlando is a sprawling property beckoning you forward with its coral pink exterior spanning many towers and buildings. The two-level lobby alone feels more like a community than a hotel lobby, with a Starbucks; access to the signature restaurant (in the midst of renovations), sports bar and gift shop; and a plethora of seating options. The bilevel layout also makes the entire space seem larger, opening up to the massive pool awaiting just behind the back doors.
