    Andara Legacy: A Story from Chandara to
    Sophisticated Simplicity
Khun Allan

From Chandara to Andara

Andara began not as a commercial venture, but as a personal vision. In 2004, Dr. Allan Zeman, Chairman and Founder of the LKF Group, built Chandara Estate, his private retreat perched above the headlands of Laem Singh, overlooking the Andaman Sea. It was here that he discovered a secluded hillside above Kamala Beach, where the untouched beauty of the land inspired the creation of something exceptional.

From that vision emerged Andara Resort & Villas, inspired by the same hillside. He envisioned a place that would reflect the grace of its surroundings: a haven of refined living, where architecture, nature, and heartfelt service come together effortlessly. Completed in 2010, Andara Resort & Villas has grown into an enduring symbol of understated luxury, with a legacy that continues to shine today.
