What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Inside, king-size beds are placed in front of the glass to maximize the personal vistas, while the interplay of concrete and wood gives the interiors a spare, seamless look.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Bang Niang Beach offers quiet coastal walks, while the rainforest trails and cascading waterfalls of Lamru National Park sit just inland.
The rooms
Teak-lined bedrooms and concrete baths face full-height glass, each villa opening onto a secluded terrace with its own plunge pool.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The dark-tiled infinity pool sits right at the beachfront, looking across the sand toward the Andaman Sea.
The spa
Teak-lined treatment rooms host traditional Thai massages, aromatherapy, and mineral water rituals beside deep stone bathtubs.
La Aranya Restaurant
Open-air dining decks under sail awnings serve fresh Andaman seafood and contemporary Thai dishes right above the beach.
How it began
Bangkok studio VaSLab Architecture designed the resort as a series of angled concrete forms inspired by emerging flora along the shoreline.
