Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The private cove sits along Karon Nui Bay, secluded between Karon Beach and the lively nightlife strip of Patong.
The rooms
Teak furnishings fill the rooms, and private balconies with deck chairs look out across the lagoon pools or the sea.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Two oceanfront complexes feature expansive free-form lagoons, dedicated lap swimming areas, and sun loungers overlooking the beach.
The spa and gym
Ten private teakwood suites at Le Spa offer traditional Thai massage, and the fitness centre includes saunas and steam rooms.
At the table
Ten venues span beachfront dining on the sand, teppanyaki and private tatami rooms at Ariake, and open-air cocktail bars.
How it began
Thai architect Mom Luang Tridhosyuth Devakul designed the U-shaped resort in 1987 to ensure guestrooms faced the Andaman Sea.
