Nearby Attractions

Three unmissable local spots are just a short drive from the resort:

• Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park: Thailand’s first coastal national park, 45 minutes north, is home to dramatic limestone peaks, mangrove forests, hidden coves, and the famous Phraya Nakhon Cave with its iconic 19th-century royal pavilion open to the sky through a natural ceiling opening. Hike, kayak through mangroves, or spot wild water buffalo along the shore.
• Baan Krut Fishing Village: A 10-minute drive from the resort, this charming traditional fishing village lets you sample ultra-fresh grilled seafood at waterfront stalls, watch local fishermen bring in the daily catch at sunrise, and browse handmade coconut crafts from local artisans.
• Wat Ao Noi: A serene hilltop temple 30 minutes north, offering panoramic views over the Gulf of Thailand. The temple grounds are quiet and cool, with friendly resident monks and a large white Buddha statue facing the sea.

Travel Tips

The resort is located around a 3.5-hour drive from Bangkok, so book the resort’s paid transfer service for a stress-free arrival. Since many local restaurants close early, arrange any special dietary requests for on-site meals at check-in. Pack reef-safe sunscreen and water shoes for snorkeling trips, and book off-site diving and fishing tours through the front desk to get fair local rates. The best time to visit is between November and February, when temperatures are cool and rainfall is minimal, perfect for days spent on the private beach.
