Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Direct access connects you to the 18-hole Laguna Golf course, with the sands of Bang Tao Beach just a short walk away.
The rooms
Every villa sits within a walled private courtyard, featuring its own pool, open-air sunken bathtubs, and rich teakwood detailing.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Stepping stones cross the freeform central pool, and every walled villa compound includes its own private swimming pool.
The spa
Open-air garden pavilions host signature bodywork, alongside sound baths and breathwork sessions inside the dedicated White Room.
Restaurant
Saisons
Sunlit tables surround a central grand piano, serving afternoon tea, French light bites, charcuterie, and classic cocktails.
At the table
Tin Tapas Bar floats over the lagoon, and candlelit waterfront decks serve Thai fine dining beneath the banyan canopy.
How it began
The resort was carved out of an abandoned tin-mining wasteland in 1994, thoroughly restoring the land into an 89-acre lagoon estate.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
