Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local spots are within easy reach of the resort:

• Bo Thong Lang Waterfall: A 20-minute drive inland, this gentle, multi-tiered waterfall flows year-round through lush jungle. It’s perfect for a refreshing dip, easy hikes, and picnics away from the heat, with minimal crowds even in peak season.
• Wat Tang Sai Temple: Perched on a hilltop 10 minutes from the resort, this stunning Buddhist temple offers sweeping panoramic views of the Ban Krut coast. The climb is gentle, and the temple’s golden chedi and quiet courtyards make for a peaceful cultural excursion.
• Ban Krut Fishing Village: A 15-minute bike ride from the resort, this working village serves up some of the freshest, cheapest seafood in the region. Wander the waterfront, watch local fishermen unload their daily catch, and grab a plate of grilled barracuda or mango sticky rice from a street side stall.

Travel Tips

Book your stay in advance during the November to February high season, when temperatures are cool and rainfall is minimal. If you plan to cook your own meals, take advantage of the resort’s grocery delivery service to stock up on supplies without heading into town. Don’t forget reef-safe sunscreen if you plan to go snorkeling off the resort’s private beach, and pack sturdy walking shoes for day trips to the waterfall and temple. Finally, the resort allows pets with advance notice (for a small fee), making it a great pick for travelers bringing their four-legged companions on vacation.
