Eco-friendly resort in a preserved rainforest by Khao Lak Beach
Accommodations
The hotel offers 54 rooms and villas, including Deluxe Modern rooms and Superior Swim-up rooms with direct pool access. Rooms are furnished with superior crafted wood furniture and have bathrooms overlooking the garden. The Deluxe Natural room provides a balcony overlooking waterways and extensive planting, with a sunken bath and separate shower.
Dining
Two on-site restaurants serve international favorites, Asian cuisine, and vegetarian dishes. The Veranda restaurant offers a la carte dining with options like fillet steak, rock lobster, and scallops for all-inclusive guests. The Garden Restaurant provides a buffet breakfast with a vast array of foods, including an egg station and Thai dishes.
Eco-Initiatives & Wildlife
The hotel runs extensive eco-initiatives for water conservation and waste management, and participates in wildlife conservation for the endangered slow loris. Guests can join nightly nature walks with amber torches to spot hermit crabs, frogs, and the slow loris. Daily educational activities teach about local flora and fauna, including bird-watching walks and natural art classes.
Pools & Beach
The resort has five outdoor swimming pools, including a lagoon-style pool with a waterslide and a swim-up bar.
