Travel Tips

Book a sea-view room to fully experience the resort’s clifftop location – the sunset views over the Andaman Sea are unforgettable. The resort’s complimentary airport shuttle saves time and money compared to private taxi hires, so be sure to reserve it when booking your stay. Most activities from cooking classes to spa treatments require advance booking, so plan your itinerary with the concierge a few days ahead. If you’re traveling with family, the resort’s family rooms and paid childminding services make it easy to sneak in a quiet spa day or romantic dinner. Finally, don’t skip the resort’s daily breakfast, which includes both made-to-order Thai dishes and Western favorites served with panoramic ocean views.
