Seaside garden village
Winding wooden bridges cross lantern-lit lagoons where chirping frogs, coastal breezes, and secluded sala daybeds set an unhurried tropical pace.
“The roughly 14-acre garden dreamt up by architect and landscape designer Bill Bensley is designed to resemble an ancient Thai village…”

What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
the hotel’s oceanside location overlooks the Gulf of Thailand, whose turquoise surface you’ll probably gaze at from your guest room.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Tucked along a calm northern Gulf shoreline, the estate trades downtown bustle for quiet sands, minutes from street-food stalls and evening craft bazaars.
The rooms
Low-rise rooms feature warm hardwoods and vibrant silks, while ground-floor options open straight into the swimming pool from private terraces.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A winding lagoon pool curves between red-roofed pavilions, leading to a thatched swim-up bar near the shore.
The spa and gym
Treatment suites open onto private courtyards with petal-filled stone tubs, and the gym looks straight into tropical greenery.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Open-air pavilions serve grilled seafood over Himalayan salt blocks and Thai classics beside the illuminated lagoon waters.
How it began
Founded in 2001 as the flagship Anantara property, the estate was conceived by Bill Bensley to recreate an ancient seaside settlement.
