Nearby Attractions

Three standout local spots are just a 10-minute drive from the resort:

• Naklua Fish Market: A working waterfront market 3 kilometers away, where you can sample fresh grilled squid, mango sticky rice, and catch-of-the-day seafood at half the price of central Pattaya’s tourist restaurants. Pick up handmade coconut souvenirs or watch local fishermen unload their morning catch for an authentic cultural experience.
• The Sanctuary of Truth: This stunning all-wood oceanfront temple, just 4 kilometers north, is covered in intricate hand-carved sculptures of Hindu and Buddhist mythological figures. The cliffside location offers panoramic views of the Gulf of Thailand, and sunset visits deliver unforgettable photo opportunities.
• Khao Phra Tamnak (Pattaya Hill): A 12-minute drive south, this quiet green hill features a panoramic viewpoint overlooking Pattaya Bay, gentle walking trails, and a peaceful golden Buddha statue. It’s far less crowded than tourist spots in central Pattaya, perfect for a morning hike or late afternoon picnic.

Travel Tips

Book directly through the resort’s website for the best breakfast-inclusive rates, and request a high-floor garden view room for maximum quiet. If you’re traveling with kids, take advantage of the resort’s free children’s pool and request a children’s meal in advance for no extra fee. The resort is 90 minutes from Suvarnabhumi Airport; pre-book the resort’s paid airport transfer for a hassle-free ride, or rent a car to explore the area and use the resort’s free parking. Bring comfortable walking shoes for day trips to the Sanctuary of Truth and Khao Phra Tamnak, and don’t forget to leave time to simply relax on your private balcony with a morning coffee, surrounded by the resort’s lush tropical gardens.
