What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
eight adults-only beach villas on one of the quieter stretches of the Andaman coast. The architecture is raw concrete and open timber, each villa with its own pool.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.

The rooms
Board-formed concrete and timber frame the interiors, and each villa steps directly out to its own plunge pool.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A freeform infinity pool looks across coastal gardens toward the sea, bordered by woven loungers and palms.
At the table
Malamar serves homemade breakfasts in the morning, followed by Spanish tapas and wood-fired grill dishes on the terrace.
How it began
A gifted cowhide rug in Shanghai inspired founders Bart and Zofie to spend a decade searching Thailand for this coastal plot.

Our shorthand
How we rate hotels.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
