Architecture and atmosphere

The entire property is built in wood following traditional Thai architectural codes: sloped rooflines, structures on stilts, wide openings to the outdoors. The grounds slope gently toward the beach, with some units nestled against a small cliff face and others scattered throughout the tropical gardens. The connection to the Indonesian parent company is evident in the careful attention to finishes and furnishings, without any sense of excess.

Five categories of villas and suites are available, all equipped with a private pool and terrace:

• Deluxe Beach Front Pool Villa: open directly onto the private white sand beach.
• Deluxe Beach Front Pool Suite: 90 m² suites set into the cliff face, with bay windows facing the sea.

• Sunset Pool Villa: facing west, featuring an infinity pool overlooking the sunset.
• Family Pool Villa: three units of 150 m² with living areas, designed for families or small groups.

Each accommodation includes a king-size bed, a bathroom with separate shower, L'Occitane toiletries, complimentary WiFi, a television with streaming services, a minibar, complimentary tea and coffee, and a safe.

Dining and services

The Infinity restaurant is the property's sole dining venue. It serves Southern Thai cuisine, seafood and a vegan menu, available in the dining room, on the outdoor terrace, or in pavilions near the infinity pool.
