Nestled high amongst the branches, this exclusive spot offers a truly elevated Omakase journey amidst breathtaking views

For those who believe that the journey should be as extraordinary as the destination, Tree House at Anantara Mai Khao Phuket Villas offers a compelling argument. This is not merely a restaurant; it is an elevated experience, quite literally, perched amongst the branches of a venerable Banyan tree, offering a dining adventure unlike any other on the island.

Winding your way up through the leaves and branches, leaving the solid ground of the resort behind, there's an immediate sense of exclusivity and anticipation. The structure itself is a marvel, an architectural embrace of nature, leading to an intimate dining space that feels like a hidden world. Once settled, the reward is a spectacular 360-degree panorama, a sweeping vista of the resort's meticulously sculpted gardens and serene lagoons – a breathtaking backdrop that evolves as the evening light softens.

The concept here is omakase, entrusting your culinary fate to the skilled hands of the chef. Given the unique setting, it's a fitting approach, allowing you to surrender to the moment and the mastery unfolding before you. The focus is squarely on the finest Japanese ingredients, with seafood flown in directly from Japan to ensure absolute freshness and seasonality.

The omakase journey typically unfolds across a series of carefully composed courses, a progression that might include delicate seabass carpaccio, expertly grilled eel glazed with teriyaki, and generous slices of glistening sashimi and masterfully formed nigiri sushi showcasing the ocean's bounty. Should fortune favour, the sublime Miyazaki A5 beef makes a memorable appearance, grilled to melting perfection. Each dish is a testament to precision and artistry, a balance of flavour and aesthetics.

Complementing the exquisite food is a thoughtfully curated selection of sake, alongside a list of Japanese-inspired cocktails, each designed to harmonise with the delicate nuances of the cuisine.

It combines the thrill of a novel setting with the refined pleasure of high-calibre Japanese omakase, delivering an experience that is as visually spectacular as it is gastronomically rewarding. It is, without question, one of Phuket's most captivating dining destinations.

With limited seating, Tree House maintains an air of quiet exclusivity, making a reservation highly advisable for those wishing to partake in this unique culinary ascent. It opens in the evenings, transforming into an enchanting lantern-lit aerie as night falls.
