The Experience
Aulis Phuket is Simon Rogan's first Thailand venture, opened December 2023 — an extension of his chef's table concept already running in Cartmel, London, and Hong Kong.[2] The room seats exactly 15 guests; there is one sitting per evening. The evening opens in the Iniala lounge with canapés, then moves to the kitchen counter for the full menu, and ends with petit fours at the same pass where the chefs are plating.[8] Guests cite the interactivity as the defining quality: "sitting at the chef's table, you're not just a guest but part of the action."[4]
Design
Interior by Creative Director Ckori Pena: locally sourced black granite countertops, hand-carved charred wood, Thai bamboo textured walls, and atmospheric light-and-shadow play.[6] Every material references the region — the tableware is locally sourced too.[4]
Ingredient Philosophy
Over 95% of ingredients come from Thailand; 30% from Phuket; 10% from Phang Nga itself.[7] The kitchen works with named local farms — Katian Farm for herbs and produce, local fishers for day-boat seafood, antibiotic-free wagyu from Khon Kaen, and responsibly sourced Andaman seafood. Executive Chef Oli Marlow and Head Chef Charlie Wilson update the menu seasonally.[7]
The Menu — Sample Courses
A 15–16 course progression at THB 7,500++ per person.[3] The menu rotates; the dishes below are representative of the current format.[3]
Getting There
Iniala Beach House sits on Natai Beach in Phang Nga province, north of Phuket — connected to Phuket Island by bridge, roughly 25 minutes from Phuket International Airport.[9] Address: Khok Kloi, Takua Thung District, Phang Nga 82140. The hotel offers airport transfers for staying guests. Non-hotel guests arriving by taxi or private car should allow 30–35 minutes from the airport in evening traffic.
Aulis is open to external diners (no room booking required).[9] If combining dinner with a stay, Iniala offers a "Stay & Dine" package — enquire at stay@iniala.com.[12]
Booking Tips
- Saturdays book first. With 15 seats and one sitting, weekends fill weeks out — especially in peak season (December–February).
- Note dietary requirements at booking. Accommodated "to a certain degree and at our discretion"; declare everything upfront, not on the night.[2]
- Cancellation window is strict. 5 days for groups up to 4; 10 days for 5+ or private hire. Late cancellations forfeit the deposit.[1]
- Drinks pairing. Both wine and non-alcoholic flights are available; wine pairing for special events runs THB 3,500–5,500++ — contact the restaurant for regular-service pairing pricing.[12]
- Kids Club. Iniala offers supervised activities (THB 1,000/child) during the dinner, so children don't need to attend a 15-course tasting.[1]
- Watch for collaboration dinners. Aulis runs a "Friends of Aulis" series with Michelin-starred guest chefs — these are separate tickets and sell out quickly.[12]
